for my next trick, i’ll use my hot water heater to make coffee.

Back in the 1960's we had convinced the L.A. police (and later Congress) that you could smoke banana peels and it had the same effect as marijuana which was heavily controlled because of us terrible hippies. We would go into the market with our beads, sandals and fringe and make a show of deciding which bananas were…

Probably also feed in those that use a gelatin base vs other ones. Agar has a very different gel texture and shears when cut into.

That’s a big ass toaster!

Uh!

Is it that she’s gone too far, or not far enough? Hear me out - Beef Wellington Pop Tarts!

You could almost double the size of the list by considering most in it’s fresh and stale version.

This is right up Claire’s alley. I love the “Eating Trash with Claire” series.

I’m in awe of how much I agree with this ranking. I’d probably swap jelly beans and licorice, but...that’s about it! Swedish Fish will always be best. Only other consistency I can think of are Jujubes/Jujyfruits, but they’d be even lower than Haribo.

I’m SO HERE for this analysis! Completely agree that the fruit-snack-ish texture is better than the Haribo texture. I’d also settle for something in between, like a Trolli Sour Brite Crawler gummi consistency. Something that lets the flavors come through clearly. 

So Skittles is going gummy.... but what kind of gummy? I’m guessing it’s the what-has-become-standard-gummy of Haribo Gummy Bear and similar. But there are other (and better) gummy textures. Personally I prefer gum drops/Chuckles and Swedish Fish to the Haribo style gummy. I hope Skittles at least does something…

Not me, I wound up with the super sharp edges. Is it a candy? Is it a shiv? You decide.

Indians and Nepalis waste very little. Watermelon rinds make a great curry (can even make dosas with them) and all manner of veg peels can be employed. The leaves from cauliflower that we throw away? You can make those taste delicious.

Well. I do not believe you. You need to produce a video of a whole process of cooking steak in a toaster. For science.

I can’t help but read it as “oreoid,” as in a chocolate and creme sandwich cookie moving in the solar system that would become an “oreo” if it entered Earth’s atmosphere, and then an “oreoite” if part of it survived passage through the atmosphere all the way to my mouth.

Cooking with a banana peel is a slippery slope.

There was something out when I was seven-ish, that had a bit of a fizz to them, crisp shell, chewy bit in the middle. Loved the things but can never remember the name. Keep expecting to chance upon an old comic advert, but it eludes me.

I think Claire Lower at Lifehacker’s Skillet made fake bacon out of banana peels? Wait, I can check! https://skillet.lifehacker.com/this-bacon-is-bananas-peels-that-is-1833479569

i welcome a lifehack to avoid a stand mixer. thank you.

My objection to Life Savers gummies was that it took me 30 seconds to eat a package, whereas a roll of hard candy would last days.
