JennyorAlice Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 What is your drink/snack of choice when playing a video game? I'm a big fan of Baja Blast Mountain Dew. However, I try not to drink too much soda so I'll alternate some water and/or gatorade in there as well. As far as snacks go, I don't usually eat a lot of stuff while I'm gaming because I don't want to get a lot of gunk on the controller.

The same reason I stop playing games to eat, your just begging for a mess. Sandwiches are OK, though. Easy to swap with a controller or mouse-keyboard with being messy. I actually think energy juice and caffeinated soft drinks aren't actually the ideal. Regular juice and the occasional soothing hot drink is actually my preferred go to's. I don't want to be tense and jittery while I play. Edited July 13 by Shagger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 That's an Interesting preferences. I'm a tea person and I just find out that taking hot cup of tea helps me focus and relax while gaming. Butz I prefer it to be herbal or green tea.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Depending on my mood at the time when I am gaming will depend on what snack and drink I prefer. Most of the time it is something such as Doritos or some other crisps as a snack and even sometimes peanuts as well. As for drink, it is either Pepsi Max, Pepsi Max Cherry, cup of tea or sometimes water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Nowadays, I don't really snack all that much around my gaming setup. Up to a couple of years ago, I'd have a tray filled with snacks to one side and a few drinks in another tray. However, I've kind of started to cut back on the amount of snacks and drinks that I consume. In addition to that, when it comes time to clean the area, it does take a bit of work.

I think I am careful about what I eat, if I'm eating anything at all. There are too many things that are just messy and I don't want that all over my controller. If I'm going to drink juice, I'm going to go with white grape peach. It's really good. You should try it if you are a juice person. If I'm going to drink a hot beverage then I'm going a hot chocolate. However, I don't drink this all the time. I normally only do this when it's cold out.

That's so great to hear that you've been cutting back on snacks and drinks. It's equally very important to make sure that you take care of your health, especially when you're sitting for long periods of time gaming.

Money can buy a lot of things but if you don't have your health.....then that can make things worse. Edited July 18 by JennyorAlice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Barida Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I enjoy having plantain chips when I am playing games. That's how I enjoy gaming and believe me when I say that eating snacks when you play games helps one to feel relaxed while playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green tea is definitely an excellent beverage and it's good for a calming and focussing while gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysplash Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I only have drinks, with straws so it’s easy for me to have a sip and continue. If I want to snack I put off the game completely and get back to it when I’m done. I don’t like being absent minded when I eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I can tell you that many gamers enjoy a variety of drinks and snacks while gaming because I've seen it as a gamer. I know very well that some popular choices include energy drinks like Red Bull or Monster, coffee, and tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I usually grab some popcorn and a cold soda while gaming. It keeps my energy up without distracting me too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
