Make a joke out of his eating habits, smile and say 'those Pringles are damn tasty arent they?'. He'll probably feel guilty, and come clean about eating your stuff.

This won't stop him long-term, but it lets him know you know about his grazing. We all knew about our grazing in our 3 person house in college, and we all grazed off each other, it was cool though because we were all pretty generous, we'd spring for a keg or have a BBQ, and all the tensions over grazing went away.

Hide half your food (the best stuff) and leave the rest until it's moldy and/or stale. At the very least he'll notice that he's the only one eating your food and [hopefully] be embarrassed. If not, he'll eventually tire of moldy/stale food and go buy his own. Then, eat his stuff! What can he say?!

If all else fails, get the largest capacitor you can find in the electronics department at your school (high capacitance NOT high voltage unless it really gets bad), charge it and hide it in the back of your food cupboard/drawer/whatever. Run a couple hidden wires to the back of the cupboard/drawer/whatever's handle and position the wires as close together as possible (without touching). Next time he reaches for your food he'll be greeted by a loud pop and a bright flash...

I tried to steal some of my roommates Fruit Loops on morning and he threw me across the room and broke my little toe, that kind of cured my wondering fingers for a while :)

There was a radio show where the DJ used to do prank calls in a town I lived in. One of the calls was to a guy that was eating his roommates food all the time. The DJ told this guy he was doctor and the roommate was in the hospital for food posioning. He had this guy eating mustard, drinking vinegar and a bunch of other stuff....pretty hilarious......

Damn, that's pretty rough ;) I don't think that I could toss my roommate, he's like 6'-4&quot;, 185lbs :Q I'm more like 5'10&quot;, 145lbs.
