Even though I know this is legit. I sincerely hope this restaurant has closed. Some things just shouldn't be cooked, eaten, enjoyed (?). For even more fun, read the comments after clicking through. People fighting over the possibility of this variety of food being in everyday US foods.

How Would You Combine Peanut Butter, Cactus & Potatoes?
Published by Expired Foods on at 5:47 PM.
Here's the show in a nutshell: Chef gets 3 mystery (often 1 or more off the wall) ingredients and is required to impress the three judges with what he comes up with. Keep in mind he's not limited to using just those three ingredients, but still has to make something bordering on gourmet. Let's Make a Deal-Bob Barker and Iron Chef all rolled into one... There's a bunch of episodes, but this one was one of my favorites.
Food Failure - OK Soda
Published by Expired Foods on at 4:04 PM.
It was supposed to be cool, hip, the next soda that the kids would like.
The name was based on this logic, "International market research done by The Coca-Cola Company in the late 1980s revealed that "Coke" was the second most recognizable word across all languages in the world. The first word was 'OK.'"
I'm shocked it failed.

Burger King Tray Liners = Frightening
Published by Expired Foods on at 10:38 PM.
We're reading through the many food-related articles we love to peruse and come across the Idea Sandbox. Then find a post called "What Is Burger King Thinking?". This tray liner from Burger King is simply frightening/disturbing/weird. We're all for good food fun, but take a look at this. I can't help but think that this is a (funny) weird Photoshop job...

I guess I'm on a Willy Wonka kick lately. This trailer is weird. But in some odd way I also find it funny.
Willy Wonka Would Not Approve of This Use of His Candy
Published by Expired Foods on 8.14.2008 at 10:00 PM.
It takes a creative alleged criminal to think of using a baseball-sized gobstopper as a weapon. Was Willy Wonka really an undercover weapons specialist? What's next? Using long strands of licorice to tie up enemies...

Food Failure - Gerber Singles
Published by Expired Foods on at 10:02 AM.
Ahha, you see Gerber and think baby food. But no. It was to be for adults. Gerber thought it would be cute to package this food in giant size versions of their baby food jars. Insert a confused public and you have a failed product on your hands.
Food on Film: Pulp Fiction
Published by Expired Foods on 8.11.2008 at 11:26 AM.
Remember the box of cereal on the table? Apparently: "Quentin Tarantino saved a box of Fruit Brute before it was discontinued. It is clearly visible in the apartment of Mr. Orange (played by Tim Roth) in his 1992 movie Reservoir Dogs, and also featured briefly in his 1994 movie Pulp Fiction while Lance (played by Eric Stoltz) was talking on a mobile phone to Vincent Vega (played by John Travolta)."

Food Failure - Fizzies
Published by Expired Foods on 8.08.2008 at 1:37 PM.
A sugar-free effervescing candy, kinda reminding us of Alka Seltzer, called Fizzies became very popular in the 50's and 60's, but had to be removed from store shelves by 1970. Turns out that FDA research found that artificial sweeteners called cyclamates, used in the making of Fizzies, can cause certain varieties of cancer. At this point many food makers at that time decided to search for alternatives. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the Fizzies would not work with other artificial sweeteners out there, so shortly after the ban on cyclamates went into effect, Fizzies became history.
But wait, "I'm not dead yet", said the Fizzies. Forward to 2008. Fizzies are now being offered again at Fizzies.com. I scoured the website, but couldn't find a listing of ingredients for the 'new' version.

What a bizarre, cool and unique place to eat (if you're loaded). I can't get over the undersea location. I might actually forget to eat if I was there because I was taking in all of the sights. Hell, they even have trained divers who clean the windows (check out the FAQ).

We Don't Like Food (or people) Taking Abuse

Food as a weapon. It's a reoccurring theme of late. First a pack of brots, then a Burger King drive-thru incident. Now lasagna, a frozen lasagna. People! Food is for eating. Bake food, not make war.
Microwave Popcorn Hack
Published by Expired Foods on at 11:09 AM.
Love the popcorn, hate the un-popped kernels? As someone who once cracked a molar tooth on an un-popped kernel I can tell you this food hack could save you thousands of dollars.
About ten years ago, at a movie theater this Expired Foods writer bought the regular ridiculous size of popcorn to sit down with a date for a movie. Next thing you know the previews are finishing and I've bitten down hard on an un-popped kernel. I reached into my mouth expecting to pull out the kernel, and instead pulled out half of my tooth. $2K later, I have a cap and a nice fear of popped corn.
Easy Grill Cleaning
Published by Expired Foods on at 9:23 AM.
Turns out that a half sliced onion will easily clean a grill. The Expired Foods addition to this suggestion... Cut off the bottom (gross part) of the onion that you used to clean the grill and still reap the benefits of grilling an onion to go along with your steak that night.
