WEEK 15 - What's your super secret shame snack?

Let's all share our guilty pleasure snacks for a good laugh (but also maybe you'll want to try a few).

"Peanut Butter Jelly Banana and Cheese Sandwich" hand lettering by Lauren Hom.

Hello and welcome to Week 15 of #HOMwork!

Those of you who have been following my work for a while know that I'm obsessed with two things: eating food and being weird. 

Your assignment this week is to letter or illustrate your super secret shame snack. What's a shame snack, you ask? While I don't actually think there's anything shameful about any food you enjoy, it's a funny name for the weird or gross snack that you love (but that your friends might make a face at). For example, my shame snack is from my childhood. My mom used to make us peanut butter, jelly and banana sandwiches...with a slice of American cheese. 

About 3 years ago, I hosted an Instagram giveaway where I asked people to enter by commenting with their shame snack...and the results were hilarious:

The second part of the challenge is to post your shame snack drawing on Instagram with the hashtag #HOMwork so we can see what everyone created. In the caption, tell us how you first discovered your guilty pleasure snack and why you love it. 

Make sure to complete & post your work before the next challenge comes out if you want a chance to be featured in my Story. I'm looking forward to taste-testing a few of your favorite gross snacks this weekend. Happy doodling! 

Love,
Lauren
