Are you that type of gamer who wants to have snacks while playing? Some say if you have snacks while playing, you get more engaged to the game. It is also more fun playing while having snacks. Share your snacks with some friends or eat it solo; having snacks takes your gaming experience to the next level.

So, have you ever wondered what snack would go best while playing? Here are our suggestions!
1. Chips
This might arguably be the most popular gamer food known to man. Not only do they taste good, but they are cheap and convenient as well –available in every store near you. From potatoes to cornmeal, chips have been regular in every gamer’s desk.











‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ Potato chips

Downside: Even if chips are a great gamer snack, they seem to have big downsides as well. Chip bits and residues can keep your gaming area messy – they can even drop inside those keyboards. There is this inevitable “chip fingers” where the flavoring is stuck at your fingers. These flavors will then rub off some grease to your gears. Just prepare a handful of tissues or some alchogel to keep your hands clean.
2. Fries
Probably just an upgrade to chips, French fries are also great pick-foods that are comfortable eating while playing. They are delicious and can be conveniently purchased at the nearest fastfood restaurant/food stall.















‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍French Fries

Downside: Fries are even greasier than chips. They can be quite expensive as well. Also, careful on having too much of these as this potato-based snack are loaded with carbs and go straight to your weight.
3. Ice Cream
Ice cream is also a popular gaming snack. Its sweet taste is a fan-favorite to the young gamers out there. Especially in this hot summer season, ice cream can surely beat the heat wave and keep you going. Try having a bootcamp session with your friends and get a large tub of ice cream for everyone to share.











Downside: Ice cream doesn’t last long enough for a whole gaming session since they melt quick. This can get expensive as well.
4. Pizza
Pizzas are a great gaming snack. One whole pizza can last you a whole-nighter session and can even keep your belly full. They taste really good and are healthy as well. The best part with pizzas is that the crust can be used as a handle which keeps your hands away from grease. Pizzas are not that expensive as well since there are a lot of food stalls that offers good pizza but does not cost much. You can also share a whole pizza together with your friends as you have your gaming sessions on overnights.











‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍Pizza

Downside: Usually, you want to have quality, branded pizza which can be expensive. Sometimes, holding the crust also makes your hands greasy so better have those tissues by the side. Pizza is also more of a meal than a snack.
5. Pancit Canton
The Filipino favorite! Pancit Canton is a noodle dish that comes in different flavors. While there is the traditional bilao pancit, there is also the pack-sized pancit that can be bought in sari-sari stores. What gamers like is the cheap pancit canton that comes in packs (Lucky Me, Nissin, etc). Gamers find this a great gaming food since it is delicious, cheap and easy to prepare. Its aroma is also distracting. Try going to a cybercafé and order pancit canton. Once it is served, expect other café-goers to order the same stuff. They will envy you for your food. You can eat this easily while playing too - just a quick grab of the plate and eat. No mess, all fun.










‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍Pancit Canton

Downside: If you’re buying the per-pack pancit canton, preparation might be a hassle since you still have to cook it in a pot yourself. Clean-up of the plates can also take some time after playing. We suggest you buy the cup noodles or play at a Mineski cybercafé shop and order a plateful of these goodies.
Honorable mentions
These are the snacks that are definitely good but just barely fell out of the list. They are still worth the mentions though.

Burger
Burgers are a great gamer snack especially to the guys. However, the way burgers are eaten with two hands makes them a burden to eat. Burgers can really be messy too as the patty, the sauce and those lettuces can fall off your burger.











‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍Burger

Trail Mix
Trail mix is a combination of various dried nuts, fruits, peas, candies and anything else of the sort. It is real easy to prepare. However, a small bowl of these can be quite boring for the typical gamer.











‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍Trail mix

Popcorn
Popcorn is a real good snack while watching some movies. They are not as greasy and messy as the others. However, most popcorn flavor get stale and bland in those extended gaming durations.

If you touch your equipment without washing your hands and after eating something, you have no grounds to call yourself a true gamer.
