So my wife, a junk food aficionado, brought home this yesterday: They're cheeseburger-flavored Pringles. They are really impressive from a food science standpoint, but their side effects are pretty disgusting. They smell like if you smelled the results of somebody's spice rack falling off the wall. They taste kind of weird, but do manage to actually have a kind of smokey cheeseburger after taste. So instead of tasting like an actual cheeseburger I've decided they taste more like a belch from a person who has just eaten a cheeseburger. The belch comparison was kind of forced upon me, though, since whatever the gently caress they used to create this flavor feels like it's bonded to my skin and GI tract. My breath feels rancid. I chewed gum all night to try to overpower it, but it comes back no matter what. Every time I take a drink I taste the chips again. Every time I hiccup I taste the chips again. I woke up and could still taste the chips from the night before despite having brushed my teeth twice. I'm not sure what dark magic they used to create these chips, but gently caress man, I think they're cursed. I ate half the cylinder. My wife ate the other half. I ain't proud.

To chime in on beer-flavoured bee chat*: My favourite is Pilsner.  It's originally Western Canadian and I grew up watching people of age drink it. It only showed up a few years ago in the East and it's still a pain because you "order" beer here from the creatively named "Beer Store" and when I ask for 'Pilsner' they ask "what kind". Anyway, it is the most neutral beer-flavoured beer on the market. *: Typo, I will not change it ErIog posted:So my wife, a junk food aficionado, brought home this yesterday: Ugh. I know someone will probably accuse you of exaggeration, but super flavoured chip burps are a nightmare.

I wasn't going to post about it because who the gently caress cares what widely available snack foods taste like, but then the taste wouldn't go away. It's the worst because I fuckin' love a cheeseburger. I've had better food, but there's a simple satisfaction in a cheeseburger that can not be beat. With these chips, though, feel like you had just eaten a cheeseburger without the accompanying satisfaction of having eaten one. It's a cheeseburger mirage. It's a snack food like people in The Matrix might eat to remind themselves of what cheeseburgers used to be. ErIog has a new favorite as of 06:55 on Nov 27, 2015 |

All you guys posting about terrible beer forgot about this beauty (I know, technically a "malt beverage" but whatever, shut up): True story, a homeless guy in Miami called us out for being pussies on Spring Break about 10 years ago, because we were buying Coors Light. He was kind enough to inform us that Steel Reserve (aka 211) is the REAL silver bullet. We bought 2 4-packs of tall boys for a whopping $4 + tax, and all I can say is never again. Good LORD they were loving disgusting.

An extremely similar picture to this showed up on my snapchat as "Sweet pertatah casserole" but as a Canadian I still don't know what the non-marshmallow topping section is because this is not a dish that exists up here.

EZipperelli posted:All you guys posting about terrible beer forgot about this beauty (I know, technically a "malt beverage" but whatever, shut up): That's what me and my roommates lived on for most of freshman year. The worst part is sometimes you'd get a pack that was very clearly "off" in some way and tasted even more of gasoline and piss than the normal ones. I'd never recommend them to anyone, but sometimes I'll still get one purely for nostalgia purposes. I always regret it.

I kinda like steelies, waaaay better than every other cheap hobo booze (Nighttrain anyone?). But I also drink a lot of Tecate and Old German so my beer taste is very lax. I also like good beer tho, I just drink a lot of poo poo beer too.

The worst beer I've had is Asda (the UK branch of Wal-Mart) store-brand lager. 2% abv. I affectionately named it "Homeopathic Beer". It tastes like water that, at one point, was shown a picture of hops.

So yeah, my "go to" beers tend to run to the cheap, 95 calorie side. Laugh all you want, but this really isn't half bad for cheap beer:  16 bucks/30 pack around here.

I made the mistake of buying/trying to drink a whole one when I was 17 and to this day it's the only beer that's ever made me puke

The best worst beer I've ever had was Earthquake high-gravity lager, which tasted awful with an aftertaste like a wet dog smells but was a whopping 12% alcohol and even cheaper than steel reserve.

7-11 cooks those for your next to their taquitos and chicken dildos. The first bite was okay, but it really is just too much artificial cheese flavor in one package.

I don't think I can let the alcohol conversation die without mentioning four lokos. Imagine a very sugary flavored drink that had a bunch of old pennies added to it to give it a very metallic taste and let it rot for a few years, and that comes close to describing my feelings of the taste of the stuff. They come (or at least, came when I drank them) in 24 oz cans, boasting ABVs up to 12%. My favorite at the time was the "red" flavor - I forget what it was supposed to be, but I think "red" describes the flavor pretty much. Maybe they are a little tamer now but back when they still had caffeine in them and were essentially vodka+redbulls it was real easy to go way too overboard and redecorate your apartment in red like a 28 days later zombie.

Four Loko is made by the same company that makes Earthquake, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was Earthquake, just mixed with kool-aid.

Crosspost from AUG: I think we can all agree that if there is ONE RULE, it should be that you have to not serve pizza with sticks on it. If not a rule, then at least a suggestion.

Oh, man. Those things are awful. I first tried one last Halloween. This girl showed up dressed like a Juggalo ("I really regret coming in this costume," she said to me, "because everyone thinks I just really like ICP,") and to complete her costume, she bought Four Loco and Faygo, and let me try the former in "grape". It seriously tasted like an off-brand cough syrup for babies.

Thanks for reminding me of the Sobe Superman energy drink that came out at the same time as one of the remakes about a decade ago. It tasted like a can of carbonated copper. Bleugh.
