Junk food lovers have no shortage of options once you look past the letter “D.” This list covers 18 items, ranging from “Doritos” to “Duncan Hines Brownies,” spanning chips, candy, soda, ice cream treats, and baked snacks. Most are grab-and-go items you’ll find in vending machines, convenience stores, and grocery aisles, made for quick snacking rather than sit-down meals.

Junk food are packaged or prepared foods that are high in calories, sugar, salt, or fat, and low in nutritional value. They’re built for convenience and taste rather than health benefits. Dr Pepper, for example, has been on shelves since 1885 and still claims a “23 flavors” blend that’s never been fully revealed to the public.

Below you’ll find the table with Food, Category, Main Ingredients, Calories, and Description.

Food: the name of each snack or treat, so you can quickly spot the one you’re curious about.

Category: the type of junk food it falls under, like candy, soda, or snack cake, helping you group similar items together.
