“I wrote 63 songs this year. They’re all about Jeter.” Just kidding. The game we love, the players we hate, and more.

Testing the revulsive/retroperistaltic coefficients of Lester’s Fixins sodae. Subjects included Sweet Corn, Buffalo Wing, Coffee, and Bacon flavors. One (1) test reel corrupted. Report filed by Drs. S. Douglas and D. Gardner Bunting.
I’ve (re-)discovered a few things over the course of the recent Days Of Rage. Some of them are great!
I found it while researching a murder (…this is a sentence I have more frequent use for than most), the true story of a neighborhood legend from my childhood. I grew up in a leafy, …
Dear God, that first one looks like Pepto-Bismol without the courage of its convictions.
How you keep that lab coat from being spattered with effluvia most foul is a great mystery.
(Plus, great “We both no where this is headed” glances at the camera.)
I may have to try the coffee soda as I’ve been known to drink a half iced coffee and half Pepsi original (God, I love that stuff) on the rare morning I have a 4 a.m. phone call for work. Thankfully the clients pay extra to have us on the horn at that hour.
BTW, you make the best stink faces!
Holy hell, you’re brave.
The Buffalo Wing is seriously, seriously disgusting. I thought I actually was going to ralph.
When I was young, my grandmother bought me a six-pack of Diet Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum-flavored soda. I was required to drink a can out of politeness; it was neon-pink, fizzy poison.
But there’s no contest – even without tasting it, this has just replaced that in my mind as the most revolting soda since time began.
What twisted mind thought up the concept of meat-flavored soda, and actually thought people would like it? I wonder how much of this stuff they sell.
Coffee sode is actually really good. I’ve had a few brands that are quite delicious, especially if you put a bit of half-and-half in the glass! Kind of a Laverne DeFazio milk-and-pepsi kind of thing.
Was the sweet corn anything like cream soda?
It was like cream soda in that it was carbonated.
I may have been the only person on Planet Earth who actually kind of liked Pepsi Kona (coffee-flavored Pepsi) back in the day.
But you know, there are a reason most 12-year olds shouldn’t be in charge of decision-making.
I liked that at least one drink necessitated a straw. Did it help make the soda less gross?
I could see coffee soda. But … Buffalo Wing … and ye gods … SWEET CORN SODA. Blerrrrrffff.
I once tried Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray soda … I don’t drink soda anymore, but when I did, Dr. Brown’s was my favorite when I could get it. I like interesting flavors and I will try any oddball thing once.
Cel-Ray soda … well … euuugggghhhh. Really, truly vile.
I loved this video – is this first one or did I miss the earlier ones? I check in on the Revolting Snacks site every so often – makes me long for my 2 or 3-times-a-year road trips, when one of the goals is to find the snackfoods that no one’s ever heard of before…
@Profreader, click the Revolting Snacks tag; that should bring up the other, earlier versions (those are mostly about Peeps). More to come!
