Default The latest Burger King sandwich

Have you seen the commercials? It's the Halloween Whopper. Same
sandwich but the bun is dyed black. I'm sure it tastes the same but
the black bun is a *fail*, imo. LOL!

Hee hee! But it TASTES the same!!

When I lived with Bryan in Novelty Studios, we played with food
colorings, and had some black food coloring. We made some black
pancakes that looked like little manhole covers!! We used the
colorings as a way to disuade our often present friends from wanting
us to make them any food while we were making ourselves some food! And
some blue and green spagetti with black sauce!! Not to mention putting
a few drops of green food coloring in a big can of peanuts, cashews,
maybne mixed nuts and shaking it around to make all the nuts look
moldy!

People are funny about the appearance of their food.

That reminds me of the stunned and annoyed Joan Lunden,
upon gingerly trying a bite of a green St Paddy's Day
bagel:

It tastes the same!!

While not Irish, I would have added pesto to a green bagel.

I agree. The color is really off-putting and
probably does taste the same but it's that eye appeal
that is failing for me.

It's a stupid novelty item designed to draw kids and adult idiots in.
Nothing to do with 'free thinking' and 'open minds'. Jesus Christ...

wouldn't like that!? I thought I would try it just for fun....

Your point is ludicrous and not without a good dose of
double-standards, given your zero tolerance for anything not
manufactured in the U.S.

I don't have zero tolerance for imports. I buy Sumatran coffee, and
very little cocoa is grown in the U.S. so where woiuld we be withpiut
imported cocoa/chocolate? I'm against the whole move of the U.S.
industrial base to China, formerly American brands made in the U.S.
now made in China! Like Rubbermaid, Crtaftsman, Coleman, Thermos, etc.
Used to be American briands employing United States workers to make
their products, but since MalWart, NAFTA/CAFTA, etc. you can't find
non-China or ?? made stuff in the U.S. anymore! I had to buy a 1940's
Kitchenaid A9 coffee mill off Ebay because you can't find a coffee
grinder made in the U.S. anymore, new.

The idea of a human/French fry union is highly distressing too. At least
we have a name for any kids - Tater Tots. Hee hee.

Speaking of chickens, all the chicken in our parking lot at the office
are gone. I don't want to imagine what happened to dooze burds. I
suspect "nothing good."

Kids get advertising streamed at thenm. I did!! And kids generally
have poor taste. I use an example Tom who lived across the street from
me when we were kids. He said the best food in the world was
McDonald's hamburgers, I said it was lobster. I've always been a
gourmet. Even in elementary school!

One of my friends pointed out to me many years ago that she did not like the
taste of foods that were dyed red. I hadn't really noticed it prior and I
don't eat a lot of dyed foods. I suppose that I wouldn't notice it in
something like Twizzlers but I did in M & M's which was the example that she
gave. I had made cookies with red and green ones in them.

Then a few weeks ago, I bought some tortilla chips in Seahawks colors. I
worried that the large amount of blue and green food coloring in the chips
might affect the taste. But the other two in this house liked them and my
mom raved about how good they were. I didn't tell her that they were just
ordinary chips with food coloring added. Yes, I know you can get chips made
of blue corn but that's not what these were.

I also bought Halloween yogurt cups. Daughter was disappointed that it was
the same old yogurt inside.

(Apologies for piggybacking on your reply, Julie)

What John is saying is he and Bryan would prepare food in front of these
so-called "friends" but were too cheap to offer them any. Better to go
out of their way to make food appear unattractive than to offer to feed
them, or better yet, simply ask them to leave.

You could be my dad with orange as the opposite of St Paddy's Day
color of green. Lol. Where in the world did that come from? He
was of Lithuanian decent.

It's a reference to King William 111, originally Prince William of
Orange and the Protestants in Ireland.

I think Cheryl knows that, and that her point was that since her Dad's
background was Lithuanian..."Where in the world did that (wearing orange
for St Patrick's Day) come from?"
