Back in 1948, a German student named Hans Feldmeier received a can of lard, two tins of noodles and some milk as part of the post-war US aid program. Not wanting to throw the lard away, Hans held on to the can for 64 years before bringing it to food safety agents who deemed the pig fat completely edible. Despite the fact that it had “a slight lack of smell and taste” (it does say “bland” right on the can after all) and appeared “of gritty consistency, difficult to dissolve and looked a bit old,” the officials decided that “all in all, given its level of freshness and its material composition, the product is assessed as satisfactory.”

If you like your food to look (but not taste) disgusting, consider these unappetizing pops from Archie McPhee. You can choose from a lemon-flavored fish head, a cherry-flavored raw steak, an orange-flavored raw chicken, a strawberry-flavored lobster claw or a banana-flavored banana slug.

Available at Campus Grill in Tulsa, OK.

This guy turned ordering from a Sonic drive-thru into a musical experience with a beautifully delivered order ballad performed on an acoustic guitar. I’ll bet he gets all the fast food chicks.

For months, British chef Jamie Oliver has been waging a campaign to protect U.S. consumers from ammonia-treated scrap meat known as “pink slime”, which has been added to 70% of our meat supply, and is used to extend meat products and kill bacteria. It seems his work is having an effect, because McDonald’s recently announced that they stopped using the substance last year (though McDonald’s denies Oliver’s campaign played a role in the decision).
The bottom line is that a certain amount of ammonium hydroxide — an ingredient used in fertilizers, household cleaners and some roll-your-own explosives, is permitted by the USDA, who apparently doesn’t require labels stating that the chemical has been added.
Check out Jamie’s eye-opening and disturbing presentation about pink goo after the jump.
