I had completely forgotten what the invasion was about, but "stealing the world's junk food" does sound vaguely familiar.

Elbert the Mind Reader?
Confusion shall be my epitaph
When I was a kid in the 90s, there was a book in the library about a kid who got braces or fillings picking up radio transmissions and having plenty of fun with that until his friend suggests that he try biting a chain link fence and overhears an alien invasion force. I remember he could turn it on and off and maybe change frequencies when he "put his tongue on his tooth".
