Leftover pizza may have been the breakfast of champions for many this morning as they woke to the nerve-wracking news that the U.S. Postal Service failed to deliver mail-in ballots from voters across the country and President Trump falsely claimed victory.

It's no surprise that Americans are grabbing their favorite snacks to curb their anxiety as the fate of the 2020 presidential election is still up in the air.

It may be days before we know the outcome of who wins the bid for president, but we can certainly talk about menu options for the time being.

Good thing you live in Houston, the best place in the world to stress eat.

Here are a few go-to snacks and where you can pick some up around town.

Donuts

Voodoo Donuts will cure what ails you - in this case, waiting for election results.

We can't forget to include some healthier options to choose from because while many may be overwhelmed, grabbing a bag of chips, and finishing in one sitting may not be the best idea.
