A few months back at the South by Southwest festival, Doritos introduced their latest product line: Doritos JACKED. The two flavors are Enchilada Supreme and Smoky Chipotle BBQ. Fittingly, they were available to purchase at a 56-foot high vending machine. But now you can just get them at the store. I’m left with a lot [...]

I have known for  a long time that there are frequently bits of jellyfish in my beloved wakame (seaweed) salad, but I have never tried it all on its own. The idea of big hunks of jellyfish was not all that appealing. Most people think of jellyfish as something to be avoided and the idea of eating it is [...]

I have had it pretty easy the last couple of tastings so I wanted to be sure I put my neck out this time. A century egg goes by many names, preserved duck egg, hundred year egg, or thousand year egg. Regardless of the name they are all created by preserving an egg in an [...]

Sonic is cool in a number of ways. They have roller-skating carhops. They have a great variety of delicious drinks, including slushes, shakes, blasts and the best cherry limeade I’ve ever had. They also feature a variety of foods including, but not limited to: burgers, hot dogs, chicken, tater tots and a full breakfast menu, [...]

A friend stumbled upon these in a convenience store, and of course they had to wind up in my hands. My reputation as the guy who eats gross things is starting to spread. A double edged sword if there ever was one. For $1.99 you are clearly paying for shock value not portion size. I’m pretty sure [...]

There are two things about Jack In The Box that are awesome: 1) a lot of their stores are open 24 hours, and 2) they have breakfast all day. ALL DAY. When you’re craving brinner, Jack’s got you covered. When it’s 1 AM and you need a Sausage Croissant, he can make that happen, too. [...]

Cod Liver Oil as a product has been around for a very long time. As a nutritional supplement, and a torture device for children it has quite a history. I picked up a can of cod liver, packed in its own oil a couple weeks back when I found the head cheese I wrote about. The health [...]

Welcome back to another edition of I try it so you don’t have to. The title sums it up nicely, I try things that are odd, gross or just plain weird so you can decide for yourself if you want to give it a shot. On that note I am always looking for suggestions so [...]

Dairy Queen‘s latest offering is the 1/4 lb. Sweet Apple BBQ GrillBurger. Along with the riDQulously long name (12 syllables by my count), the other odd thing about this burger is clearly the inclusion of apples. I’ve never heard of a fast-food type restaurant utilizing such an ingredient on a burger; the closest thing I [...]

Head Cheese is an item that I have been terrified of forever. Just the name is a confusing mess. Only one word in its name is true, and it isn’t cheese. It is however made of head. In my case it was pigs head with some blood for added yum. Although it can me made with beef or sheep [...]
