The hilarious and brutal reality of searching for a snack at your parents’ house is perfectly captured. The situation is unfortunately all too real and relatable for far too many. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see what happens when hunger strikes this young woman who is visiting her parents.

Snacking between meals is something we all do or have done at some point. Sure, it shouldn’t be regular practice, but who hasn’t snuck a Snickers, a 3 Musketeers or a Milky Way (the far superior candy bar) before dinner? Some may do it more frequently than others, but I’m guessing most people do it here and there.  

Now, those with a considerable sweet tooth or who are big snackers are well aware that one of the worst feelings in the world is when hunger pangs or cravings hit. We simply need something to tide us over until lunch or dinner, and that is all there is to it. But it gets much worse when nothing to satisfy those desires is readily available. What have all, unfortunately, been there, too.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a young woman, who plays both roles in the short skit, is at her parents’ house for a visit.  Seconds into the clip, she announces that she is “kind of hungry” and is going to have a snack. The mother responds that she is not hungry and informs her daughter that she’s unsure what kinds of snacks are in the house. She advises the young that she’ll have to investigate the pantry to see what is available. Sadly, it becomes evident that the selection will be less than stellar.

But no one had any idea it was going to be this bad!

She opens the pantry to reveal it is sparse, to say the least. Given the horrible options, she lands on a box of Rice Krispies, but the horror show is not over yet, not even close.

For her next visit, she will surely remember to pack some actual snack food or at least a product with a best-by date in this century.
