Words sometimes like food can be digested with delight. In 1963 Schlitz started nationally using pop-top cans for their beer. Three years later cans were out-selling beer in bottles. Pulitzer Prize writer John Updike wrote a thirst-quenching bit for The New Yorker in 1964 about the progress of man using the beer can as a simile. This is one meaty morsel of literature to bite into.
Who says size matters. Nestle Drumstick Lil’ Drums are a perfect treat for this summer. Heck, they are good all year round. Good for small kids and little indulges when required for late night snacking. They are so good that you might finish the whole box.
McDonald’s Hawaii has quite a unique menu in their restaurants. They offer Saimin soup to their patrons. The Hawaiian-style ramen noodle is a staple on the islands. They also serve Portuguese sausage and Spam with rice on their breakfast menu.
“Saimin is a soup with egg noodles served up in a hot broth that has kamaboko (fish cake), char siu (barbecued pork), and nori (seaweed). In the late 1960s, this Hawaiian Saimin was added to the regular menu as the first local “ethnic” dish added to a McDonalds in its long history.”
Teens eat strange things. The latest craze is eating Tide Pods. That is so yesterday already. When asked, teens say they prefer snorting condoms. The “Condom Challenge” consists of sticking a condom up your nostril, inhaling it then pulling it out of your mouth. Come again? I do not think this is how we practice safe sex.
Food trends come and go. Here is one from the weird side. You can have a custom made life-size lollipop of your face. This is too easy. There is a sucker born every day or in this case, made every day. The Face Licker takes about 7-10 working days to create. Depending on which part of the world you are in, it will set up back about $56.00 (£39.99) on the average. Just out of curiosity is the face the only body parts being made? Just asking.
Kellogg’s Sugar Frosted Flakes of Corn was introduced in 1952. Kellogg’s ran a contest with the introduction of the cereal. They wanted the consumer to pick the official mascot for their cereal. In the running were Katy the Kangaroo, Elmo the Elephant, Newt the Gnu and Tony the Tiger. It was a fierce battle, but a year later Tony the Tiger was victorious. The original voice of Tony the Tiger was Dallas McKennon who also voiced Gumby and the original Snap, Crackle and Pop voices for Rice Krispies.

So it’s time to go do battle and let your body win when you compare foods side by side.
