The Most Disturbing Thing I’ve Ever Put In My Mouth
So we bought a box of marshmallow gummi hamburgers at Smart & Final for my birthday, and they are, by far the most disturbing item I’ve ever had in my mouth. It’s like eating a slice of citrus flavoured tire (the three layer gummi portion) sandwiched between two cheap, stale marshmallows. It’s both hard to chew and alien tasting. I’ve had to give them away to people with a “these totally suck” warning, and they’re one of only two foods that I’ve seen my food soul brother, Bret Berg, spit right out of his mouth in the decade I’ve known him, and that man will eat nearly anything.
The one above (top view here) melted in the back of my car, and I feel pretty confident in saying that the melted gummi may have formed a chemical bond with the plastic tray. On a molecular level how different are gummi and plastic anyways, based upon how similar in taste both are, possibly not very different at all.

Yumm, citrus flavored tire. Add a bit of chile and it’s a snack!

You could put chile on pretty much anything and I’ll eat it, or at least lick the chile off, including old tires.
