If not pretzels for Bush, what would be a better snack?

[BevReview Steve]

I was reading a humor take on the President's pretzel choking incident yesterday (click here for article)... here is some of what was mentioned.

He's the president, and with all that stress on him, can't the poor guy get a decent snack at the White House while watching a game on TV?

No. They give him pretzels, a national outrage.

What's a pretzel, anyway? It's a dry stick of bread with salt. A nothing.

If White House staffers have such little imagination, they'll never find Osama bin Laden. When will they get off their behinds and give our president some appropriate football-watching snacks?

What would be a better snack for the President?

Well, when my kids were all babies/toddlers they did ok with Cheerios! He could munch those and probably not have too much trauma.



***I make fun, but I admire him greatly, I am proud of our President and I voted for him.***

String cheese should go down easier! (Sorry, my Wisconsin bias is showing.)

Afghani food??
Seriously, I read some recipes about Afghani food quite a few years ago and it's supposed to be very good. That is when they get it and don't end up starving in some refugee camp in Pakistan
i mean maybe it would help Bush with his international relations. Americans could insist that as their democratic right over their President that he has international snack food cooked for him which is changed every month.
I mean it's only snack food. . . the last one had his entire sex life scrutinised . . .

Gummy worms.

Smoked eel.

No, Jalapeno jelly beans.....
No, sorry, that was Reagan.

Oh, yeah, since he's such a down-home, folksy kind of rich Texan (from Maine)-
Oleo sandwiches on Sunbeam bread.

Sounds yummy FnF....But I think I would have to agree with you.
peanuts and Billy bear also have been done before.

Rachel...Gummy worms are this gelatineses mass of suger and food coloring that dentist just love (If you have children)

How about "Zwiebeck" crackers... you know, they are like big teething biscuits you give to infant with newly-emerging. They are so hard you have to 'gum' them to disolve. No choking risk here!

I think the prez should be munching on some good old jerky ,
preferably Camel Jerky that is ..................................

They are just like gummy bears but shape like worms.


I'd be at lost to explain what they are. It must be something like fruit gum or jelly.

Help!!

Not popcorn. It can cause infection when part of corn get stuck between a teeth and gum.

Dried wasabi green peas.

I think they just need to make sure they have a "Heimlich" guy close by at all times
That and maybe Jello.

Although I didn't vote for him (and if I could, I would have voted against him), I hope he will not go down as America's favorite "pretzeldent."

I think he should be eating broccoli (with cheese sauce) just so that he can set himself apart from his father.
