SNACK TIME: DIY Doritos, Mountain Dew turns mice to Jell-O, scotch in a can, Ludacris brand fried chicken, Star Wars burgers, someone in Tokyo is a really good fisherman, and Drew wrote an article about Old Bay beer
- I've watched this How To Make Your Own Doritos vid literally 1,000 times and am still scratching my head. Does anyone know where to get the ingredients mentioned? I want to try.
- A man is suing Pepsi Co. because he found a mouse in his can of Mountain Dew. He discovered the rodent after he took a sip and then spit it out due to mouse. Pepsi's defense? The soda would have dissolved the mouse into jelly. Firstly, ew. Secondly, seriously? Ew. Thirdly, ew again because who actually drinks Dew?
- In other can-related news, you can now buy scotch in one. Produced by Scottish Spirits Imports and selling for $5, each can holds 12 fluid ounces of booze. CEO Ken Rubenfeld offers this adorably naive quote: "We want people to be responsible — this is 12 fluid ounces of scotch whisky and people should treat it as such ... most people of common sense would know that that's a lot of alcohol." Ken really, truly believes that in his heart of hearts. Oh dear.
- Christopher Brian Bridges, whom America affectionately refers to as Ludacris, will be opening a fried chicken joint in Atlanta International Airport. Guess what it's called! Chicken-n-Beer, after his 2003 album. They better have a speedy-ass waitstaff or else they're going to need to start a tally of patrons yelling "Where the fuck is the waitress at with my drinks?!"
- It wouldn't be a Snack Time post without a burger link: The Star Wars-themed Dark Vador (sic) burger and the Jedi burger will soon be on the menu at French fast-food restaurant Quick. Both look appetizing. JK no they don't.
- A giant bluefin tuna caught off the coast of Tokyo is worth $746,797. No one says you have to buy the whole thing, though; the o-toro (fatty belly), aka the best part, is selling for $5.50 a piece. The fish weighs 269 kg (593 pounds) and could yield seven trillion maki rolls.
- Stillwater Artisanal Ales' Brian Strumke debuted an Old Bay-flavored beer during Baltimore Beer Week. The beer had a run of only 101 bottles that sold (for charity) for $5 each, but some shadeballs turned around and tried to sell theirs on eBay for a ridiculous markup. Oh and look who wrote this article! Our very own Marylander, Drew Lazor.
