Why it works

Everything on this board can be picked up with one hand in a dark room. The cheddar is pre-cubed, and pepperoni folded into little cups can hold a cube, so the bite is already built.

Popcorn is the high-volume filler, pretzels give salty crunch, and gummy bears and chocolate chips cover the sweet tooth. Carrots and tomatoes with ranch keep it from being all junk food, and hot honey makes the cheese more interesting.

Timeline
