Poutine-Flavored Soda is for People With Iron Stomachs

Have you ever heard of poutine? No? Well, it’s a Canadian dish that’s made with french fries which have been topped with brown gravy and cheese curds. Other variations exist, but that’s basically what the dish is.

Doesn’t sound very appetizing, does it? It probably has a certain appeal, though, since has been around since the late 1950s. Now take that dish and imagine it as a drink… then take a sip of Seattle-based Jones Soda’s Poutine Soda and see if it matches your imagination or expectations.

Poutine Drink

Jones Soda describes the drink as having “a nice balance of rich, savory gravy over a starchy potato base, and accented with those fatty, cheesy notes you expect in a plate of poutine.”

I haven’t tried it myself, but others have, and I’ll leave you to gauge how good or bad it was based on their reactions:

You’re Going to Be So Disgusted with Humans After Watching This Video

Human beings, I love ya, but man are we disgusting. This video by Aaron Rogers lists and animates all the scientific grossness of being a human and it gets pretty gnarly. Like how many hot tubs our saliva can fill and what our eye boogers are made from and all the other nasty stuff that comes with our human body. It’s an eye opener. [Vimeo] More »

Your Smartphone Is Basically a Poopstick

Some unfortunate news for people who don’t like rubbing feces on their face: your smartphone is probably covered in it. More »

Exhaust Burger Might Just be the Grossest Way to Grill a Patty

I love it when people come up with designs and gadgets that make it easier and convenient to do stuff that would normally take a while, like grill a burger. But the Exhaust Burger – I don’t love.

Exhaust BurgerFrom the name and its shape, you can probably guess that this thing is supposed to be attached on your car’s exhaust pipe. So as you drive to your office and back, you can stop by the roadside and grab the burger that’s cooked to perfection from the heat of your car’s exhaust.

It is supposed to isolate the smoke from the cooking surface, but it still doesn’t sound very appetizing, does it? Thank goodness it’s just a concept for now.

Severed Toe and Ear Cookies are Too Gross to Stomach

I get queasy pretty easily. In fact, I can hardly eat after watching a horror movie or after reading a particularly gory series of comics. (Cough, cough. The Walking Dead. Cough, cough. Thank God it’s not rendered in color.)

And while I love cookies just as much as the average person, I’d probably have a hard time swallowing these for obvious reasons.

Toe CookiesJust look at the dirt and grime on those toes. And are those molds? Don’t even get me started on the burst corns and blood just oozing out from the end where the toes were severed from the giant cookie foot.

I don’t think I’d be able to have my cookie and eat it, too. And get a load of these bloody ear cookie pops as well.
