Food, delicious, disgusting food. Join Kevin, Joe and Toren as we look at some of the grossest things we eat.
Update: We screwed up! The KFC Double-Down Sandwich has 1380 mg of SODIUM, not calories. It has a much more reasonable 540 calories for its original and 460 calories for its grilled version.

My favorite example of ridiculous food consumption is the Heart Attack Grill:

You ask what Grimace is Joe? Well, I’ll tell you.
A buddy of mine asked that very question and decided to find out the answer. He called the McDonald hotline and they said…
He’s a shake fiend!
Which makes sense because I remember him when he had multiple arms and was called ‘Evil Grimace’ and his sole purpose in life was to steal drinks from people, particularly milk shakes.
Like some of the other McDonald characters (I’m looking at you Hamburglar), Grimace was altered to be more kid friendly. He stopped stealing shakes and lost the extra arms.
There IS fake civet poop coffee!!

Love the show. Keep up the good work!
Gina, that is a great find! Thanks to that I’ve now ordered a couple of bags of “Legendee” artificial enzyme-treated coffee for my wife!
For anyone else interested in it, I bought it from http://www.handocoffee.com/ in Canada, and it’s available at http://www.trung-nguyen-online.com/ in the USA.
(Totally non-sponsored links, but if they want to send Caustic Soda some free coffee we won’t complain!)
Loving the podcast guys. Keep up the great work.

KFC has ruined food with their chicken as a bun idea.
People are DIY-ing their own stupid foods.

Suck it Double-Down Burger:
Friendly’s Burgermelt actually has 1500 calories and 79 grams of fat!
Make your own gourmet double-down!
After being vegetarian for the best part of a decade, I saw food inc, forgot all about it and then became (returned to being) a carnivore.
Fowl and swine hold little interest for my palate, but I sure do like them cows.
If you thought eating mayonnaise to death was bad, try drowning in it:

Although no one died, 40 tonnes of mayo is pretty gross.
Too bad there’s no photos or video!
Anyone read Roald Dahl’s “the Twits” ?
Ambelopoulia all over the place.
