SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted:One of the earliest "internet humor" sites I remember was Bad Candy, where they reviewed salty licorice, fizzy milk, and tamarind - the latter of which was considered the most horrific of all. The original site is long gone, but this old archive shares a bit of info. I didn't know the FDA has a "filthy" designation. Back when I was a middle school kid in the early 2000s, I went on RetroCrush and I-Mockery all the time. One article from RetroCrush I distinctly remember is Orbitz, a really unpopular gimmick soda that had neutral density balls floating in it to look like a neat sci-fi drink. Robert Berry got his hands on some expired Orbitz (since it was out of production for years already when he did it) and tried to drink it and eat the balls. It was apparently awful. Meanwhile, I-Mockery was at its best during the Halloween season, when they would talk about old cult horror movies and haunted attractions. The 2015 candy review has some AFP of its own.

I am staggered to discover that I-Mockery has continued to exist to this day, and that they haven't updated their design in the slightest. Godspeed, guys, even if you should have reined in the guy with the pickle hat. And didn't Retrocrush used to be run by this guy who, well, wasn't Robert Berry? Matt something-starting-with-C? Or am I thinking of another of those retro sites? e: no wait that was X-Entertainment! And he's still going as well. Bloody hell, these sites used to basically be the internet, now they could be the subject of a whole new retro stuff article. My Lovely Horse has a new favorite as of 17:06 on Jun 11, 2016 |

I'm more baffled to see that they're somehow still updating. Last I saw I-Mockery it had been a good year or two since a post. Good for them I suppose?

Or am I thinking of another of those retro sites? I'm just amazed that I-Mockery kept the same design and format. Like it's over 10 years since I was actually interested enough to check on their site daily or read through the archives of old horror film write-ups (with crappy GIFs of all the gory kills), and they're basically identical. Roger Barr is still wearing a pickle hat even though he's gotta be floating around 40 by now. Protoclown's picture on the "About Us" page is from like 2002. For Valentine's Day they made a bunch of awful image macros with popular culture from the past few years. It's surreal. Like this is from last October. It's indistinguishable from the ones from 2004.

Anytime anyone mentions tamarind I think "Gee, I wonder if bad-candy.com has come back to life" and check, inevitably disappointed. And then I describe it to someone and they tell me "Hey bro, tamarind is good poo poo  "

Tamarind is good poo poo although I'm sure you can make bad cheap candy that tastes like rear end with it just like any other ingredient on the planet. And it's probably better as a souring agent than on its own. Long as we're talking about the pop culture sites of yesterday I'd just like to put it out there that https://www.encyclopedia-obscura.com was a very good, but appropriately very unknown one.

Mango Pulparindos are very much my crack, and I will eat an entire box and die if given the opportunity. The fact that Pulparindos are an add-on item on Amazon makes it that much harder to kick the habit.

Sakurazuka posted:There's no way that was cooked right? It was in for like two minutes With a professional stone oven it should never take longer than three to four minutes to cook a pizza. Even a home oven at 500 degrees can cook a pizza in 5 minutes excluding the mandatory 1 to 2 minutes under to broiler to brown the top and let the crust char. Neither is typically cooking pizzas topped like that though :|

Having handled industrial quantities of mayonnaise, its sickening viscosity has turned me off of it for life. Especially when it was this variety:  What possible duty could mayonnaise be pulling to necessitate heavy duty? It's not an approved industrial lubricant for anything. This isn't diesel-powered mayonnaise. WHY DO YOU CALL IT THAT, DUKE? TELL ME. THE SLURPING AND SLOSHING HAUNT ME STILL.

Xen Tricks posted:Oh man, I loved that site when I was a kid! Around 03-05 it was the funniest thing, I'm so sad to see its actually dead. It was around last I saw which had to have been a while now. I'll always remember the candy that was a good percentage "ash" and as well as the hideously salty devil pit that would not leave your mouth no matter what. I miss the website too. I think Neopets is still going. But when I checked it last it looked as if some of the images and links were broken.

I'm always struck in this thread by how starchy these meals are. Potatoes AND pasta? Bread AND mashed potatoes? I'm a fatty myself but I always try to limit the starch to one aspect and have plenty of veg and protein. Anyone else constantly icked out by how much starch people seem to eat?
