Almost Exciting!

I came across this in my world travel for the best tea.  This has got to be one of the weirdest flavors I have ever seen. Who drinks this?

Here is the website to the company who sells it.

Monk’s reference to Freakies got me doing a little bit of research on an era, thankfully, before my time: the 1970’s.

I’m wondering what the heck they were putting in Bubblicious back then.

See this Youtube clip:

From the vast amount of things that I did not know were on the internet, especially since 1997, comes this seemingly innocent question:

Q: What do you think happens when you throw a slice of processed cheese (without removing the plastic wrapping) onto a lit barbeque?

The plastic melts giving off highly toxic fumes and you are left with a pretty grim cheese/plastic mess welded on to your BBQ, right?

WRONG!

Actually, it seems that the answer is very, very different. Enter Cheeseracing.

I can’t wait to try this.

You may have seen something like this before, but I’ve never gotten one quite so funny. This, after we had just completely stuffed ourselves.

I thought I linked this up before, but couldn’t find it…

Energy Fiend has a couple cool tools:

The first one I found was Death by Caffeine, an awesome little online calculator that lets you figure out how much of your favorite drink it would take to kill you, based on body-weight to caffeine intake. Sweet!

Then, more recently, I came across The Caffeine Database (on the same site), which not only lists the caffeine content of most popular beverages, but also has a calculator to let you figure out your daily intake, based on drink/quantity. It’s pretty cool.

Go!

I’ve never shopped for food on Amazon before. I’m glad to see this classic “gourmet food” listed.

monk sent this to me - The Wheel of Lunch, by Krazydad, is a Yahoo! Local “mashup“.

“Food” is a decent query, but we’ve been playing around to find out what other interesting ‘wheels’ we might be able to create. Any suggestions?

I came across this site recently - Top Secret Recipes.

Apparently they regularly post some of the recipes used by top brands like Lipton, Applebee’s, Arby’s, IHOP, Joe’s Crab Shack, and more - many for free, or free for a limited time.

I haven’t thoroughly perused the site or tested any of the recipes but if you cook, I’m sure it’s worth checking out.

Someone found a finger in his chocolate “bar”. Mmm!

Robert Wechsler is creative. My favorites are the toaster, and the shopping carts.

Oh, and here’s a list of ten name-brand foods you should never eat. Unless you’re me, and your metabolism runs faster than you do. I’m still going to eat what I want, but some of these are surprising.
