This list covers 13 junk foods that start with the letter V, running from “Velveeta” to “Vanilla Cupcake.” You’ll find a mix of processed cheese, canned meats, cookies, sugary drinks, and frozen treats, all built for quick snacking rather than balanced nutrition. Most of these items show up in fast food menus, vending machines, and grocery store snack aisles, where convenience and flavor matter more than health.

Junk food are foods and drinks that pack a lot of calories, sugar, salt, or fat into a small, convenient package with little nutritional value. The category has boomed since the mid-20th century, when processed snacks like Velveeta and canned Vienna Sausages hit American shelves as cheap, shelf-stable alternatives to home cooking. Today it spans everything from drive-thru milkshakes to lunchbox cookies, and it keeps expanding as brands chase new flavors and formats.
