Happy National Junk Food Day! It comes as a welcome relief that today is the one day of the year that we as Americans, especially us TV-loving Americans, can finally indulge guilt-free in all our favorite fatty snacks and sugary treats. Finally, we can unlock those fries, pizza and candy we've been keeping in the vault and really let loose after another year of healthy, balanced eating. Screw you, salad. We've earned this!OK, so I'm kidding. It's no secret that our country loves junk food no matter what day it is -- and that us TV fans have a certain reputation for pigging out more than most. Our national love for delicious, high-calorie garbage is so pervasive that lots of TV shows have made fictional snacks a big part of their world. From that time Lucy and Ethel pigged out in the candy factory to Liz Lemon's obsession with her Sabor de Soledad, junk food has always been on our minds, in our hearts and in our mouths.
Here are some of our favorite fictional junk foods from some of our favorite past and present shows. Snack on these fun clips now, then go ahead and order the large ice cream cone later, comfortable in the knowledge that nobody can say a thing about it. It's a holiday!
