If there was "Purina Human Chow" would you eat it?

[HamdenRice]

Sometimes I don't feel like cooking at all when it's my turn. I envy my dog. I can always give him Purina Dog Chow.

I wish there was Purina Human Chow. I'd eat it sometimes.

[datasuspect]

1. i'd eat a pile of steaming shit if it had melted cheese on it

[peekaloo]

4. Arby's!

:hide:

[LynneSin]

26. NOT FAIR!!! Arby's has great food

:grr:

[peekaloo]

37. ut oh the charbroil smiley

I lurve(d) their Market Fresh Sandwiches and those little stuffed potato triangle thingies. It's just that nasty roast beast with the cheese squirts that make me queasy.

[HamdenRice]

6. Melting cheese requires effort

I sometimes just want something I could dump in my "bowl".

[datasuspect]

9. there's always flaturin

it's a tub of food you can stick in your face!

2. Soylent Green....it's people.....

:evilgrin:

[amyrose2712]

15. I have been saying that for years....

just saw the movie for the first time last year.:hi: :hi:

[mikeytherat]

3. From "futurama"

[HamdenRice]

7. But we have the technology "now"

:shrug:

[mikeytherat]

12. True, but in the future, Bachelor Chow will come with "flavor"

On a side note, the Dinty Moore beef stew we ate in college was always referred to as "Dinky Dog" beef stew, in deference to the dog food Mel Gibson and his dog ate in The Road Warrior.

5. Purina Monkey Chow

Also a complete diet for humans.

[HamdenRice]

8. As Carson would have said: I. Did. Not. Know. That.

Problem is that Purina does not use "human grade" ingredients in its animal chow.

[sammythecat]

14. That does seem to be a problem

Here's a video I found (#7 of 7) of a guy that went on a 7 day diet of Monkey Chow. His weight was normal at the beginning and he lost 5lbs. Overall he gives it a thumbsdown. Poor monkeys. I bet they don't really like it either.

[southpaw]

10. They've been selling 'Purina Yuppie Chow' for years

[sammythecat]

11. Sure. Sounds like a good idea.

Cheap, portable, easily stored, and balanced nutrition. There certainly ought to be a market for that.

[rurallib]

13. I will probably stick with their cat food. It is pretty good.

[Lorax]

16. It's called cereal.

We already have human chow. It's called cereal.

That being said, as much as I consider myself a foodie, when I am busy on a project I often wish I could just eat some human kibble and be done with it. However, I don't think I'd trust it if it were made by Purina.

[Moondog]

17. They had some sort of universal glop in "The Matrix".

Didn't seem to be so popular though.

[DS1]

18. It's called Top Ramen, and available in stores near you!

But don't buy anything from those bastards Maruchan!

[surrealAmerican]

19. We call it breakfast cereal.

You can eat it straight from the box, and it's a complete meal.

[HamdenRice]

21. What about something more meaty? Like a combo of bacon and granola? nt

[EndersDame]

20. Its Called Slim Fast

Same basic Idea and taste

[HamdenRice]

27. But I want a "kibble" not a drink

and opening a can is too much work.

[EndersDame]

30. They have meal bars too!

[arbusto_baboso]

22. That depends. Is there human IN it?

[HamdenRice]

28. Is there dog in "dog chow"? nt

[arbusto_baboso]

29. Where is it made? The answer to your question depends on the answer to mine.

[Crabby Appleton]

23. Jack in the Box used to be owned by Ralston Purina

and therefore really could be considered Purina Human Chow

http://www.jackinthebox.com/corporate/press-room/fact-sheets/company/

"1970 - Foodmaker, Inc. merged into Ralston Purina's Checkerboard Properties, Inc. operations, which then changed its name to Foodmaker, Inc. Ralston Purina operated the company as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Under Ralston Purina, Jack in the Box restaurants underwent a major expansion in an effort to penetrate the eastern and midwestern markets, and the business grew to over 1,000 restaurants by 1979. That same year, Foodmaker, Inc. decided to concentrate its efforts and resources in the western and southwestern markets, which it believed offered the greatest growth and profit potential. Accordingly, the company sold or closed 232 Jack in the Box restaurants in the eastern and midwestern markets."

24. Soylent Green is People.

[Javaman]

32. meh, they may taste like chicken but they sure are stringy. nt

[cwydro]

25. Nah.

Probably be processed all to shit. I'd avoid it.

[scheming daemons]

31. Doritos

'nuff said.

[Lucian]

33. Isn't that called "Mary Kitchen Hash"?

:puke:

[Jamastiene]

34. They do make it, but you have to agree to get neutered by a veterinarian first

to get it.

[old mark]

35. Try anything marked Kelloggs.....

pretty much the same thing without the "chicken parts".....(you don't want to know.)

[Critters2]

36. I've often thought this. Why do I have to go to all the trouble of

thinking about a balanced diet, and cooking, and stuff, when I could just pour something in a bowl? I like the idea of "Bachelor Chow".

So, yes, I'd eat it.

[philosophie_en_rose]

38. Is it made from organic free-range humans?

:P
