Zoom Zooms and Wham Whams 

Terms used for getting junk food, mostly by street people and people in jail. Was often used when someone would spend a $1.00 food stamp and get the change back in coins. The items bought based on how cheap they are but they still bring happiness. In jail they are used for negotiation and trade.
I will give you 2 cigs if you go to the commissary and pick up some zoom zooms and wham whams.

wham whams 

prison slang for items bought from a list and picked up from the prison canteen. i.e. cookies, snacks.

"Tom and I went on 6 dates and I was really starting to fall for him! Then I got the whim whams."

"I really, really, really like Michael, but... I've got a case of the whim whams. I decided that I actually don't like his beard or his cat or his shoes."

zoo zoos and wham whams 

Zoo zoos are commissary food items sold to prisoners and wham whams are cigarettes. Circa 1980s youngins. It ain't all sweet, cabrón.
Run those zoo zoos and wham whams, Flaco! Make some moves and put some money on the books for me. Send it so I can spend it.
