According to American Merchandiser, the latest list of the top ten snack food choices from vending machines is as follows:

1)Snickers
2) Doritos Big Grab
3) Peanut M&Ms
4)Cheetos
5) Cheez-It Original
6) Twix
7)Strawberry frosted Pop Tarts
8)Rice Krispies Treat
9)Lay's Chips
10)Mrs.Freshley's Jumbo Honey Bun

Now, dear readers, I know you are probably wondering what I was: Who the heck is Mrs.Freshley? And how did she manage to sneak in her honey bun among all these big-name competitors?

Well, I did a little research. Turns out, the honey bun has been awarded "Pastry Product of the Year" several times. And the damage? One honey bun contains 590 calories, 29 grams of fat, 37 grams of sugar, and - I'm sure - a whole lot of deliciousness (quickly followed by a whole lot of stomachache).

I would have sworn I had never seen that Honey Bun before, but I just looked in the vending machine here at work and sure enough there it was.

No Oreos? No Fritos? No Baby Ruth? Perhaps my snacking habits, like my other habits, are on the "fringe"...

I'll bet Mrs. Freshley and Mrs. Butterworth are bingo buddies.

When you're very hungry on the job, Mrs. Freshley is one hot mama.
