Things I will not eat.

[davywavy]

1) Any meat product with the word 'Value' on the packaging. If I want to eat roadkill, I'll peel it off the A1 myself.
e.g.
Them: "I got some delicious ALDI Value burgers for the barbeque!"
Me: "No you didn't."

2) Pringles.
An experiment. Take pringles from the tube and set light to them. Watch in horror as they burn with a fierce, actinic glare. The fats will boil out of them and flare off with a flame like a welding torch. Resolve never to eat anything which burns like that again.

3) Mountain Dew
Another experiment. Spill some Mountain Dew on the carpet at a party and decide to clean it in the morning. In the morning gaze with horror at what the viscous chemical glop marketed as an "exciting taste sensation!" has done to your floor. Never, ever put the stuff in your tummy again.

4) Any foodstuff from a fast food joint which is trying to look like a more reputable brand. e.g. "Tennessee Fried Chicken", or "Pizza shack"
The original was crap, and aspiring to look like crap does not fill me with confidence.

We had a visitor from South Africa who thought that Royal fried Chicken must be good because of the royalty link :(

You mean it isn't?

I have no comment, I just wanted to use this icon. hirez found a shop that sells all the surplus commercial and commemorative mugs and was most pleased to find a pile of these.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

I want one.

[reddragdiva]

Ask him very nicely. Or, indeed, contact Nortech Foods directly.

They still make Mountain Dew? I haven't heard of that for years!

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

They do. No natural ingredients knowingly added.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

I'm (slightly) wrong - you can't get Mountain Dew in teh this country any more since Pepsico stopped Britvic making the stuff about 7 years ago. Suggestions that this is because some of the ingredients are illegal in the UK are scurrilous, I'm sure.

[silver-blue.livejournal.com]

They didn't put caffeine in the UK one, and it failed miserably, probably as a direct result.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

However, they did put High-Fructose Corn Syrup in, which meant they had to stop when imports of GM foodstuffs were banned. They use tartrazine as well, which a lot of people have problems with too. Mountain dew is appalling chemical glop. No identifiable natural ingredients.

I would love to compare the ingredients list of your Dew with our Dew.

I shall have to grab one during my finals tomorrow and get you the list.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Mountain Dew isn't available over here any more - the ingredients list from their US website is what I was basing my opinions on.

I think you can gt it from cyber candy in covent garden. They do a lot of import stuff I believe.

I want to burn a Pringle now. I'm easily led.

[purpleheather.livejournal.com]

They even burn stood out in the snow...

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Do it. You'll never eat one again, if only because burning them is so entertaining.

Mind you, I enjoy Coke... and I KNOW what it does to coins.
And indeed, if you leave a small child overnight in a bowl of coke, in the morning its body would have dissolved into a goo (same thing happens with Pepsi, only with Pepsi the goo-filled liquid actually tastes better).

[silver-blue.livejournal.com]

I agree with 1, 2 and 4.

Pringles taste like greasy dust. Which is not particularly pleasant.

Mountain Dew is, however, the king of soft drinks by a mile. Although Amped Energy (Mountain Dew flavoured Red Bull essentially) is even more god-like.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

You drink Mountian Dew?

You actually want type 2 diabetes?

[silver-blue.livejournal.com]

I generally don't think much past "it's yummy" when it comes to food. I eat healthily, don't drink to excess, I think I can spoil myself with the rather gorgeous Mountain Dew when I get the chance. :)

[breekom.livejournal.com]

There is a Tennessee Fried Chicken near where I live, also. We have a test, amongst my friends, of drunkenness. You say to someone, 'dirty chicken wings?', and if they reply, 'oh god, yes, yum!' you know that they're really drunk.

Infallible test, that.

[applez.livejournal.com]

So by testing method No.2, does that mean you will not eat peanuts?

So just employ a cordon blue chef in your underground lair (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4455060285).

You ought to change the title to "My inedible life."
