Japanese Collagen Beer Gets You Hammered and Younger Looking at the Same Time

Posted on by

Japan is always on the ball when it comes to weird things to eat or drink. The latest food oddity from Japan is a new beer called Precious. Each can of Precious has 350ml of beer inside that is 5% alcohol. Along with the alcohol, you also get 2000mg of collagen. Collagen is a popular substance used for making skin look better.

I don’t know if there’s any scientific evidence that drinking collagen actually does anything for your skin, but I think that the beer just gets you so drunk that you think you look better. Many a man or woman has woken up the morning after a beer induced rave to find the person they went home with not nearly as attractive as they were the night before.

KFC’s Double Down Dog Needs To Make Its Way Stateside, Pronto

Posted on by

Look, we know what you’re going to say. It’s gross! What was KFC thinking?! Oh my God, what an atrocity. And yet… and yet we want to feast on this ridiculous creation by everyone’s favourite fried chicken joint. It’s called the Double Down Dog and is the Colonel’s version of a hot dog, except the bread bun is actually fried chicken. If that doesn’t blow your mind, then we suppose you’re not into food quite like we are. That’s ok, we sympathize with more sensible hearts; not everyone likes to eat dangerously. And KFC apparently feels that way too because the Double Down Dog was only available in extremely limited quantities, for two days… in the Philippines! That’s right, this beautiful monster was only to be sold at a select number of outlets in the Philippines, and each restaurant was limited to selling 50 of these a day. Why? We don’t know. But we’d love to start a campaign to convince the executives that there’s a market for this stateside. Because there is. Right? Right?

Keep reading for a picture of it in the flesh.

Doritos Flavored Mountain Dew: Dew Not Want

Posted on by

I’m not a huge fan of Mountain Dew in its normal flavors. I do however know a lot of people use Dew to power their late night gaming marathons, and I am cool with that. Apparently, the folks behind Mountian Dew were testing a new flavor at Kent State University in Ohio.

The test was for what may well go down in history as the dumbest flavor for a drink ever. It’s called Dewitos and its flavored to taste like Doritos chips in a drink. One person who tried it says it tastes like liquid cheese. This is the kind of stupid stuff that happens as the result of Pepsi and Frito-Lay being owned by the same company.

I have to wonder if this is some sort of psychological experiment to see what college students will try if it’s offered for free. I certainly hope they aren’t really bringing it to market. Other flavors being tested included Lemon Ginger and Mango Habanero. I’ll stick with Dr. Pepper thank you.

Atomic Fallout Burger: Wear Gloves, Sign a Waiver, and Say Your Prayers Before Eating It

Posted on by

Atomic Fallout Burger

A burger that requires you to wear gloves and sign a waiver before you eat it? Sounds pretty scary (but intriguing) to me. It looks like a typical burger, but that’s where its similarities to a Big Mac end because this one is a zinger.

It’s called the Atomic Fallout Burger for good reason. Aside from the fact that it’s got a pound of meat sandwiched in between two deep-fried mini pizzas, it’s also extremely hot, hot, hot. A rich 3-pepper sauce has been slathered on the meat, and somewhere in between all its layers lie two of the hottest peppers known to man: the ghost pepper and the Scotch bonnet.

The burger ranks 1,000,000 on the Scoville scale so if you’ve got a weak stomach (and a weak heart), then this is not for you. Only 500 people have attempted to eat the burger, and of these people, only 1 in 10 have succeeded.

Are you up to challenge? The Atomic Fallout Burger is available from England’s Atomic Burgers (so tough luck for the rest of us who live elsewhere.)

Wine-Infused Ice Cream: Get Häagen-Dazed

Posted on by

Drinking wine from long-stemmed glasses is so yesterday. Add some fun and festivity to your holiday celebrations this year by saying cheers – with your parfait cups and waffle cones filled with scoops of wine-flavored ice cream from Mercer’s.

mercers wine ice cream
So it might not be as classy as you’re used to, but it’s a whole lot more fun and maybe a whole lot yummier.

Mercer’s offers a variety of flavors for its line of alcohol-infused ice cream: Cherry Merlot, Chocolate Cabernet, Peach White Zinfandel, Port, Red Raspberry, Chardonnay, and Riesling. It contains 5% alcohol though, so this is one icy treat that’s off-limits to the kids.

Booze-Infused Marshmallows Will Be Perfect for a Christmas Bonfire

Posted on by

Booze Marshmallows

If you live somewhere where the snow doesn’t fall, then here’s something you can do to stop the kids from clamoring for a white Christmas (because you can’t give that to them anyway, not unless you buy fake snow by the truckload): a holiday bonfire. There’s nothing like roasting marshmallows and drinking steaming cups of hot cocoa in the great outdoors, singing Christmas carols and handing out homemade eggnog to whoever wants a glass.

There are also extra treats for the adults who might otherwise prefer to stay indoors: fluffy booze-infused marshmallows that can get you toasted on the sly. Take extra care to keep them out of reach of children for obvious reasons (and also because nobody really wants to clean up vomit from the carpet on Christmas day.)

Booze Marshmallows

They’re available in two flavors: Maker’s Mark and Guinness. You can get your fill from Wondermade, who sells these marshmallows in boxes of 16 for $7.50.

Eggs Soaked in the Pee of Virgin Boys is a Real Chinese Delicacy

Posted on by

Urine Soaked Eggs

In some parts of the world, insects like crickets and roaches are served up as delicacies. In others, they’re simply regarded (or disregarded) as pests. But did you know that some people, the Chinese in particular, find eggs that have been soaked in the urine of virgin boys appetizing? It’s so good that it’s even considered a delicacy.

It sounds bizarre, but I kid you not. Called ‘virgin boy eggs’, these treats have been served for the last twenty or so years. The locals believe that it gives them some sort of health boost, claiming that it decreases body heats, promotes better circulation, and invigorates the body. The doctors, however, find it unsanitary for obvious reasons.

If you’re curious, the taste of these eggs are described as ‘fresh’ and ‘salty.’ The salty part, I get, but fresh? How can they taste fresh after being boiled for hours in urine? To each their own, I suppose.
