  • White Castle Scented Candles

    White Castle Scented Candles

    A while ago I had the brilliant idea of making food scented candles.  Who wouldn’t want their house smelling like bacon, lasagna, or sauteed onions and garlic at all times?  Sure, it might lead to obesity and questions about your character, but this was still an incredible idea on my part.  Unfortunately, I never got around to creating a prototype and researching a patent.

    Well, it looks I was too late. White Castle has already gone and created a candle(update: apparently these sold out within 24 hours and are no longer available.  the link has been removed from the website) with “steam-grilled-on-a-bed-of-onions scent of America’s first fast-food hamburger”.  Net proceeds will benefit the Autism Speaks foundation.

    Not only has White Castle completely stolen my idea, but they’ve made it beneficial for a chartable organization.  The only person that was going to benefit from my creation was me.  Damn you, White Castle.  Damn you.

  • The Mc10:35 – I did it.

    A few days ago, Jeremy wrote about a new McDonalds menu item that has been sweeping the nation.  This item is called the Mc10:35, and can only be ordered at 10:35 AM which is the only time you can order simultaneously off of the breakfast and regular menu.  The sandwich is a combination of the Egg McMuffin and the McDouble and supposedly is an incredibly delicious creation.  I decided to put it to the test.

    I rolled up to my local McDonalds at 10:35 AM and asked the lady if they still had Egg McMuffins to be sold.  She said yes, and my next question was if I could order off of the lunch menu yet.  To my horror, she informed me that breakfast went until 11:00 AM during weekends.  This represented the single time in my life where I was disgusted that McDonalds was still serving breakfast.  Usually my experiences consist of me waking up late and arriving mere minutes after breakfast had ended.  I decided to return home, collect my thoughts, and return at 11:05 AM.

    At 11:05 AM, I decided to drive to a different McDonalds that is right down the street.  How convenient.  I ordered my Egg McMuffin and McDouble and was ready to go.  I resisted my urge to add Bic Mac sauce.  I guess the version you’re looking at is the Mc11:05, but I’m trying to be authentic here.

    I got it home and began creating my sandwich.  By creating, I mean I took the top bun off of the McDouble and replaced it with the Egg McMuffin minus the bottom muffin.  I took the pickles off, because I didn’t see that fitting in to this equation.  Easy creation, but completely magical.



    My apologies for picture overload, but I felt that was the only way to do this thing justice.  It was amazing.  The egg and Canadian bacon went oh so perfectly with the McDouble.  I urge you to try this combination out for yourself.  Your stomach might hurt for about an hour, but it’s worth it.

    Oh, last thing.. I ate this along with an additional Egg McMuffin, a hash brown, and a chili dog Stephanie brought home.  I’m beginning to be disgusted by myself.

  • Uhhhhh… Pringles?

    I know the Asian food market is a little differnet than ours, but seriously?  Seaweed?  Soft-shell crab?  Come on.

    Pretty interesting for a company that intended to sell tennis balls but got a shipment of potatoes instead.
