I take starters over desserts when eating out, and will snack on a sandwiches and nuts whilst watching films. I don't even eat as much cake as I used to, so whilst I technically do like them, its not a preference.
That said, I do have a mild addiction to mayonnaise and hot sauce. I've gotten bored and tried combining it with most things in the average cupboard by now. Mayonnaise pizza? Don't mind if I do...

Mayo and Hot Sauce are the saviors of mankind, along with monosodium glutamate. I have a salt shaker for MSG just in case. Also, when you say hot sauce, do you mean salsa or hot sauce. Some people get them confused, but both are awesome.
When it comes to chocolate, I can't eat chocolate by itself. However, Chocolate with nuts or something else is fantastic. I generally do not like straight up chocolate cakes, but I love things like German's Chocolate Cake. When I eat Chocolate Chip Cookies, I expect them to have pecans in them as well. Eating a Chocolate Chip Cookie without nuts is not even half as good, in my opinion. I am also not a big fan of dark chocolates.

Hot Pepper or Sweet Chilli sauce are my usual vices. The great thing about hot sauce and mayo is if you add hot sauce, you can prevent it from getting too hot by adding mayo ^_^
MSG isn't sold here, never had it. Never really desired it either, but then that's probably half down to all the "MSG will KILL YOU" messages we get. Like the fried bacon wrapped in sausage isn't already doing that.

Where do you live? If there are any Asian Markets I guarantee you can find large bags of MSG in them. If not, most supermarkets carry Accent, which is actually just rebranded MSG and can be found on the spice aisle. Wal Mart and United Supermarkets carry it in my area.
If you can't find them anywhere, then there is always Amazon. Yes, you can order MSG from Amazon. Crazy, I know.
The MSG Will Kill You thing is totally bogus, unless you are allergic. Most processed foods have MSG in them already. If you don't get massive headaches when you eat Doritos, or certain flavors of cheetos (hot cheetos ftw) then MSG is OK for you!

Sometimes they hurt my teeth. It's been like that for since I was a little kid. I think I have sensitive teeth? I brush them a lot and go do check ups once in a while. Sigh.

Oh, I'm sure I could make the hour long trek to chinatown and find some, but beyond that, not that ive noticed. I'm a brit so Walmart, United Supermarkets, and Cheetos don't exist here, and amazon doesn't stock it. I've never seen it in a supermarket here either. It really isn't big here.

Well, even too much brushing is bad for your teeth :P I brush my teeth about once/2 days :P you know, as long as I'm not getting the bacteria that causes holes in the teeth, I'mfine, the pain in the teeth can be cured with toothpaste or cold water :P Yeah,we were talking about teeth and teeth hygiene and teeth care onthe last few classes of biology...
So, after being onthose glasses Icame to conclusion; I can eat as much sweets as I want. That's it.
