3. It's kind of nice, isn't it?
The feeling of moral superiority you get while viewing those creations.

Then, you start wondering, just a teeny bit, what it tastes like, could you fix a smaller version at home, when will the house be empty for at least three hours, don't you?

Come on. Let's make this ours - what's your favorite dish and how would you fix it if you planned to, you know, just taste it?

4. In my case ---- Something spicy on that damned Krispy Kreme.
I'm sooo curious.

5. The sad part is
that probably a bunch of them are pretty yummy.

Deadly, but yummy.

A few are obviously one-time contrivances (like the 60-pound krispy cake or whatever) but the scary thing is that many look like they are real products, in restaurants or from street vendors.

Bacon is yummy. Cheese is yummy. Fried foods are yummy.

Nevertheless, constructed as those things are, they are a heart attack waiting to happen.

Might as well eat at the Heart Attack Grill, where they wheel you out after your meal.

14. Ok, I'll play.
I'd try the Bacon Explosion Wellington or even the Hot Dog Pie. They just sound good. I must be hungry. I don't like sweet/savory mixes so much, and therefore am spared from using doughnuts as a bread product in a sandwich. :-)

6. I got a book yesterday called "Eat This, not That!"
....and it is full of info on the worsts of American supermarket foods. A TWIX candy bar is the very worst for you!

And for some items, there are bacon equivalents. "This item equals 43 strips of bacon."

It's a hoot, if horrifying.

15. Well, that explains a lot.
I adore Twix. Thankfully I only eat about one a year, not being a huge sweets fan. But I do enjoy it when I succumb. :-)

8. Two new entries


The McNuggetini

A McDonald’s chocolate milkshake with vanilla vodka, rimmed with BBQ sauce and garnished with a chicken McNugget.



And...



Sausage Egg And Cheese On A Chocolate Glazed Donut



but of all the things that somehow bother me on this site, this one does it the most - don't know why - but it seems realistic, and yet wrong on so many levels. The bacon shell taco...



mmmm... I can smell the sodium from here.

10. Actually, that bacon taco looks good
The others are just disgusting. Why screw up a perfectly fine McDonald's shake, and I don't like sausage? Or chocolate donuts.

But, that taco - yeah, I'm gonna give it a try. What do you think that white stuff on top might be? Nougat?

So, what's going on here? You're checking it for updates?

Oh, son, you got it BAD!!!

9. I've sent it to a number of people with extra pounds - people who love me -
with the header: Not personal, just too damn funny !
I especially love the donut with Sloppy Joe filling.
I think I'll go fix me one right now - Krispy Kreme world HQ is one mile and 1/3 from my house, and I have a full tank of gas.

16. Oh, don't even get me started
on the shit I did in college.

In 1980, we had roommates putting their pot plants in the windows of the dorm corridors....

You used to be able to get away with shit like that.

(sigh)

Times have changed...
