Wearable snack food?

Tell us what your favorite snack food is, and, if well-designed, would you wear it with pride?

The tastiest answer, as chosen by designer Nate Archer, will be rewarded the low-calorie way: with the six Timpins featured in yesterday's interview.

BTW, when we asked Nate what his favorite snack is, he told us, "I'm not typically a big Timbit eater, however in the process of this project I managed to eat my fair share. However as a Canadian, I can't help but enjoy a good maple glazed donut. I hope that my Timpins provide people with the satisfaction of buying Timbits with a lot less calories."

Harry's answer: French fries. I'd wear them with pride if it were a small, non-greasy, 3D pin with a bit of salt. Leave your answer in comments (and not just Canadians eh).

Sabine's answer: Sweets like cakes and donuts often feature in my favorite pieces of art...







...because they are usually as easy on the eye as they are hard on the hips, and any depiction of fries always reels me right in. But it is the humble potato chip that has the most special place in my heart. But I think it would be a real design challenge to produce something wearable that would appeal to the subversive fashionista in me. I'll have to wait for the Prada Potato Chip.

Dim Sum! Those little bundles of joy joy joy!

i'd wear a sunny side up fried egg, preferable with a crispy slice of bacon. that way i can skip breakfast and lengthen my sleepy time. yaw!

Maybe replacing my sleeve button with mini spring rolls! :op

Sno Caps....Those chocolatey morsels covered with white beads of hard sugar.....both graphic and delicious!

Pretzels....The quintessential TV snack food.

...and my favorite snack at home:

a cheese and pepperoni on a poppyseed and sesame Carr's cracker with an olive slice on top.....MMM MMM MMM....

Hmm... my favorite snacky food is Drake's Funny Bones, but I don't think they'd make a very nice looking pin. Right now, though, I'm all about the Girl Scout Cookies, so an assortment of GS cookie pins would be fantastic.

perogies. even just one perogie.

sauteed with sliced sweet yellow onion, a small garlic clove ( crushed ), and served with a little sour cream and a lot of cracked pepper.

....

lunchtime.

cream puffs. minimalist on the outside-- but a whole lot of yum on the inside! i would wear a cream puff if i could.

however, if this was a seasonal snack question I would've answered Peppermint Bark (

I have been quite obsessed with dimsum my whole life. In high school I used to go for dimsum every weekend just about. For my birthday present my girlfriend used molding stuff to make little dumpling pins!
