5.) Jujyfruits
Episode: “The Opposite” (May 19, 1994)

JAKE JARMAL: So, you heard that I was in a car accident and then decided to stop off for some Jujyfruit?
ELAINE: Well… the counter…was right there, and…
(Watch the clip)
—————————–
ELAINE: It’s not like I went across the street. I bought the Jujyfruit, and I got in a cab.
JERRY: Why didn’t you eat it in the cab?
ELAINE: Because I got popcorn too, and I ate that first.

4.) Junior Mints
“Because it’s a little mint. It’s a junior mint.” –Jerry
Episode: “The Junior Mint” (March 18, 1993)

JERRY: Why did you force that mint on me? I told you I didn’t want the mint!
KRAMER: Well, I didn’t believe you.
JERRY: How could you not believe me?!?
KRAMER: Well who’s gonna turn down a Junior Mint? It’s chocolate, it’s peppermint– it’s delicious!
JERRY: That’s true.
KRAMER: It’s very refreshing!

3.) Soup
“Soup’s not a meal. You’re supposed to buy me a meal.” – Kenny Bania, “The Soup”
Episodes: “The Soup” (November 10, 1994) and “The Soup Nazi” (November 2, 1995)

“You can’t eat this soup standing up, your knees buckle.” – Jerry, “The Soup Nazi”

“So, essentially, you chose soup over a woman?” – Elaine, “The Soup Nazi”

“Jambalaya!” – Newman, “The Soup Nazi”

2.) Black & white cookie
Episode: ”The Dinner Party” (February 3, 1994)

JERRY: See the key to eating a black & white cookie, Elaine, is you want to get some black and some white in each bite. Nothing mixes better than, vanilla and chocolate. And yet still somehow racial harmony eludes us. If people would only Look to the Cookie — all our problems would be solved.

1.) Éclair
Episode: “The Gymnast” (November 3, 1994)

“It was not in the garbage. It was above the garbage, hovering…like an angel.”  – George

**Bonus food quotes from Puddy
“Feels like an Arby’s night.”

“How come people don’t have dip for dinner? Why is it only a snack? Why can’t it be a meal, you know? I don’t understand stuff like that.”
