Sausage Attack: When Foods Are Weapons
Published by Expired Foods on 6.30.2008 at 4:42 PM.
This isn't the first story of this nature to make it's way on Expired Foods... But it is the weightiest attack of recent memory. 3 POUNDS OF POLISH SAUSAGE? Definitely a weapon.

Watching Ice Melt...
Published by Expired Foods on at 1:45 PM.
You've heard of being so bored that you'd watch paint peel, ice melt... But now you can take up that idle time by watching cheese mold in realtime. Cheddarvision.tv allows you to be up close and personal with a large wheel of cheddar.
From what I read on the site, the idea is from a small group of farmers based in the South West of England who simply enjoy the traditional art of cheesemaking.
Devo's Not 'Lovin' It'

Devo is suing McDonalds over using "their" flowerpot/weirdo headthing on a Kids Meal toy. I guess once the lights have dimmed, Devo needed something to take up their spare time.

Get local with your fruits and veggies
Published by Expired Foods on at 11:50 AM.
Ever wished the produce you buy was fresher (much fresher in many cases)?
If you haven't already, you need to experience a genuine farmer's market. They're just about everywhere nowadays and truly supply fresher veggies and the like. Check out the site below. It helped me find some local markets I wasn't aware of.
The Pig Next Store
Published by Expired Foods on at 11:29 AM.
Amazing place with amazing bacon. Become a member of one of their Bacon Clubs and you'll be delivered some of their tasty bacons directly to your door each month.
I found some very interesting info about their bacon in the FAQ section of the site:
"What's the difference between artisan bacon and regular store-bought bacon?
Artisan bacon is cured and smoked in small batches by producers who are far more focused on the quality of their product than on the quantity they can produce. Almost all bacon you can buy at the supermarket is processed in massive quantities, which means the processors worry more about producing large amounts of bacon quickly. That's all well and good, but it ignores what we believe to be the most important thing -- the taste. The bacon we sell is made in smaller batches by people who truly think about how the end product tastes. You can really tell the difference."

Food on Film: Fast Food Nation
Published by Expired Foods on 6.24.2008 at 8:48 AM.
I've read the book, watched the movie, and while loosely based, the premise alone is hilarious. At the same time, though, there are some deeper messages in the movie in regard to the fast food industry and how they manipulate truths. The fine reviewers that frequent Rotten Tomatoes gave it a lowly 51% approval rating, but give it a shot for what it hoped to convey.
PS What better a site for looking at movie reviews for Expired Foods than Rotten Tomatoes?
An old cereal that rightfully didn't make the cut

This is not a typo. This place is getting 1,000+ cars a day through the restaurant. Fois gras served in a unique way, no. The world's best wine selection, ney. Sonic. Corn dogs, tots and slushees. Seems like a trend that can't possibly last, but the chain is opening two more restaurants in the coming months.

Food Failure: Seven Up Bar

The Seven Up Bar. This monstrosity combined cherry, coconut, caramel, fudge, jelly, maple, and Brazil nut centers each in separate pieces, in one wrapper. I honestly can't say that I would enjoy any of those flavors let alone all of them crammed side by side in one package. I guess it would be Forrest Gump's dream candy...

Beer and Guns - What could go wrong?

I'm all for drinking beer, believe me I drink plenty. I'm also a fan of the Constitution's "Right to Bear Arms". But, putting both together? I remember the days of covering beers with the Coke looking magnets to be able to drink on the beach, but now your beer would blend in to your mossy surroundings. Bonus - it's printed right on the can.

Food Failure - Crystal Pepsi
Published by Expired Foods on 6.10.2008 at 2:51 PM.
As a new part of Expired Foods, I thought I would go back to certain occasions where food/drink marketers thought they had a brilliant idea - and it just plain sucked. For the first one, I looked to find info on Crystal Pepsi. First reading on Wikipedia, then looking in Google. One of the funnier marketing gaffes listed in the Wikipedia story is the contest they held that would give you free Pepsi if you found a special picture under the cap. Crystal Pepsi, being clear and all, allowed the buyer to simply turn over the bottle and buy a winner without even opening it.
I was surpised to find that there is even a petition online to bring it back. Now I thought this was merely a joke until I clicked through and found it to have over 7000 signatures. Check it out here.

Food and drink tales of the Stanley Cup
Published by Expired Foods on at 8:47 AM.
It's been used to chill champagne... Doug Weight [of the Hurricanes] made an ice-cream sundae in it with his kids... The Devils made a margarita in it at a nightclub—they even salted the rim...
[Ducks forward] Teemu Selanne is the warmest, most sincere man you could ever meet—but he is also one hell of a drinker [laughs]. We were at his place in Anaheim, and he had eight to 10 of his buddies there. They went through about 12 bottles of Scotch, right out of the Cup. If I drink half a bottle, I'm going to fall down, and I have a tolerance. Not Teemu. No problem. One of the best drinking clinics I've ever seen.

Don't Blame Indiana Jones or Burger King
Published by Expired Foods on at 9:05 AM.
Ranging back many, many years, fast food joints have always used movies to promote their food. Parents had to use their judgement as to whether or not they wanted their kids to eat the grub to get the toy and potentially get husky. Gotta love consumer groups, they want Burger King to stop advertising to children using Indiana Jones to sell their burgers and such.
