I've not tried this, but I have seen people post on the internet that people actually eat it with the chilli dumped into a bag of fritos and eat straight out of there. 
I've never gotten food on my underpants!

Growing up in the UK, the only 'American' food I distinctly remember having on hand was Skippy or Jif peanut butter. Hershey's, graham crackers, and marshmallows for s'mores were as rare as hen's teeth.

All of those items are easy to find with the internet these days.

You could make do with Garabaldi biscuits, but it's not the same.

Sounds like something you would do while watching Judge Judy in your underwear.

I remember having that once as a kid...either in girl scouts or at a minor league baseball game or something like that.

But in your currant situation, you might have to "make do and mend"

They sell them in the Frito bag at high school football games here in Houston and at NRG and Minute Maid Park whilst watching the Houston Rockets and the Houston Astros.

I'm wondering what food I would eat in my underwear whilst watching Judge Judy Quite possibly strips of deep-fried bacon...
Yes, that's a thing here! It's good to be here

That's certainly different.

Don't get me wrong, I love Garibaldi biscuits since they remind me of Eccles cake but the raisins would surprise me if I didn't know ahead of time.

Gah! If only the sister-in-law still lived there. We always hit up the Soho store when we go to the West End. I also made their Pecan and Maple cake for our anniversary today and it was lovely, if I do say so myself.
