You might think that Trump’s goose is cooked, but that won’t stop you from stress eating as you hate watch the third presidential debate on Wednesday, October 19 at 6 p.m. PST. Need some inspo? We’ve got you covered.
Leek Dip
If you Wiki leeks, you’ll find that the cousin of onions and garlic is basically a superfood. What more appropriate snack could you eat as you watch the two candidates vie for the lonely spot atop a superpower?
Ore-Ida Fries
The best thing about having Ore-Ida fries as a snack is the fact that they’re the same color as Trump’s hair, so you can pretend you’re Trump by putting them on your head and shouting inanities. The second best thing? They’re delish. If you’re into Trump’s waffling on immigration, we suggest the Waffle Fries. If you’re into Clinton’s experience, you might like the Extra Crispy Seasoned Crinkles.
Wings
Here’s a fun game: Try to figure out if you’re eating a right wing or a left wing. Chomp them all the way to the West Wing.
Taco Truck Tacos
Preferably purchased from the wall of taco trucks parked in front of Trump International Las Vegas hotel.
Stuffed Ballot Peppers
Nothing tastes better than good, old-fashioned, practically impossible voter fraud. And if you’re a Trump supporter, don’t forget to get those peppers in the oven by November 28.
“Rig”-atoni
A variation on a theme. Fun fact: It’s good and totally legal for postal workers to rip up Trump ballots.
Rotten Pumpkin (a.k.a. The Trumpkin)
Eating a Trumpkin might be as close as you’ll come to eating Donald Trump’s face without having to go to prison.
Tequila Shots
Being able to grab a beer with your future president has always been the barometer for an electable candidate. Take that a step further by punishing yourself with the same liquor Hillary Clinton gets bullied into drinking. Add some salt and lime and tequila shots are a bona fide snack.
Poisoned Vegan Sandwiches
Yes, leading up to Election Day, it can and will get more foolish by the day—likely by the hour. Load up on some Pret A Manger vegan sandwiches à la Pam Anderson’s visit to Julian Assange’s hideout at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. You don’t need to be a spy for the Clinton camp to eat flavorless sandwiches with an infamous hacker, but it certainly helps.
Now that you’re properly stocked up, kick your feet up and enjoy the next four years of indigestion. Here’s how to watch the debate on Wednesday.

Grieving couple comforting each other
This response to someone grieving a friend might be the best internet comment ever
When someone is hit with the sudden loss of a friend or loved one, words rarely feel like enough. Yet, more than a decade ago, a wise Redditor named GSnow shared thoughts so profound they still bring comfort to grieving hearts today.
Originally posted around 2011, the now-famous reply was rediscovered when Upvoted, an official Reddit publication, featured it again to remind everyone of its enduring truth. It began as a simple plea for help: “My friend just died. I don't know what to do.”
What followed was a piece of writing that many consider one of the internet’s best comments of all time. It remains shared across social media, grief forums, and personal messages to this day because its honesty and metaphor speak to the raw reality of loss and the slow, irregular path toward healing.
Below is GSnow’s full reply, unchanged, in all its gentle, wave-crashing beauty:
Why this advice still matters
Mental health professionals and grief counselors often describe bereavement in stages or phases, but GSnow’s “wave theory” gives an image more relatable for many. Rather than a linear process, grief surges and retreats—sometimes triggered by a song, a place, or a simple morning cup of coffee.
In recent years, this metaphor has found renewed relevance. Communities on Reddit, TikTok, and grief support groups frequently reshare it to help explain the unpredictable nature of mourning.
Many readers say this analogy helps them feel less alone, giving them permission to ride each wave of grief rather than fight it.
Finding comfort in shared wisdom
Since this comment first surfaced, countless people have posted their own stories underneath it, thanking GSnow and passing the words to others facing fresh heartbreak. It’s proof that sometimes, the internet can feel like a global support group—strangers linked by shared loss and hope.
For those searching for more support today, organizations like The Dougy Center, GriefShare, and local bereavement groups offer compassionate resources. If you or someone you know is struggling with intense grief, please reach out to mental health professionals who can help navigate these deep waters.
When grief comes crashing like the ocean, remember these words—and hang on. There is life between the waves.
