I visit McSweeneys site regularly, chock full of witty banter and news of the current and interesting in writing. Today I see that Reviews of New Foods is updated. Pages and pages to scroll through, I already have a few favorite reviews, such as
Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper
Submitted by Pat Roath"Aside from its having far too many syllables for a soft drink, my skepticism toward the new Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper began when someone informed me that "it probably won't make you vomit"...
and
Reese's Pieces Peanuts & Peanut Butter With Nuts!
Submitted by Eric Black"See where you say "Limited Edition" in your upper left corner? You're just playing on my fear of scarcity. There's really nothing limited about you at all, but here I am, falling for your cheap candy-aisle come-on, because I'm suddenly terrified the rest of my life will seem like a long, grim march toward death if I can never have peanuts and peanut butter together in a crunchy candy shell."
and
The Wild Mountain Chicken Sandwich at Wendy's
Submitted by Rachel DuBois"If anyone ever tells you that you should eat a Wild Mountain Chicken Sandwich from Wendy's, what they really mean is "I secretly hate you and now revenge is mine."
You can also submit your own...
Too funny... I've never been to McSweeney's - I'll have to head over there.
Seriously, though, there are just too many freaking food sites out there now!
