Check Out the Viral “Popcorn Salad” Recipe That Has People Horrified

You’ve most likely heard the saying that there’s “no accounting for taste,” which basically means when it comes to things like food and fashion, people like what they like and there’s really no point in trying to change it.

That said, when someone claims to be a professional chef, though, you should be able to have some professional trust that the recipes they share are – at the very least – not completely horrifying.

That’s not the case with this recipe from chef Molly Yeh, who is completely adorable and typically super duper charming.

Yep, super cute.

But you know what’s NOT super cute? This mess.

No one on Twitter, though, is being charmed by the combination of popcorn and mayonnaise.

Yeh is an American cookbook author, blogger, and host of the Food Network cooking show Girl Meets Farm. She incorporates her Jewish and Asian heritage into her cooking, with a sprinkle of Midwestern for good measure, and everything usually comes out looking delicious.

That said, this monstrosity of mayonnaise, popcorn, and various vegetables?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

“Popcorn salad is one of those classic Midwestern dishes that you would often find in a church basement potluck.”

I’m sorry… I live in the Midwest and I have NEVER heard of this. From anybody. Anywhere.

Now, while Molly admits that the ingredients sound weird, she swears that the final result is delicious. Her salad included peas, carrots, shallots, mayo, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and Dijon mustard – and, of course, the popcorn.

She finished the dish off with some watercress and celery leaves.

The friends she invited over expressed surprise – even the ones from the Midwest, where the dish is supposedly popular – but swore they were pleasantly shocked at the result.

The good people of the internet think everyone involved are lying liars, as is evidenced by their hilarious replies.

I mean…does that look like an honest face to you?

This is not what you bring to a gathering, my friends. Not unless you want to get hurt.

That’s probably where plates of this are going to end up. Rightfully so.

You do have to get behind that idea, I don’t care who you are.

The video has gone completely viral, with over 3M views, and not one person has said they’re thinking about trying it.

What about you? Is this going on your “must try” Pinterest board?

I’m from the Midwest. My parents are from the Midwest, and that story goes back for several generations, and no one – not one person – has ever thrust a popcorn salad into my hands at a potluck.

I don’t think I’ll be the one to start the tradition.

I’m just saying.

This is How the “American Food Section” Looks In Stores In Other Countries

Who knew?!?!

I sure didn’t!

What the hell am I talking about? Well, let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen.

I’m talking about the fact that a lot of other countries out there have whole sections dedicated to American foods in their stores. This is kind of blowing my mind right now!

And, because we aren’t seen as the healthiest folks on the planet, a lot of these American sections are filled with JUNK…which I guess makes sense.

Hey, who are we to argue with these foreign folks? We love to eat stuff that isn’t good for us!

Check out these pics of American food sections overseas.

1. This needs to make its way over here.

I could see this catching on…

2. And here’s a flip side…

We’re practically related, anyway…

3. A true American tradition.

Well, they’re not wrong about it.

4. You gotta love it!

Hey, don’t knock it until you try it.

5. A little taste of home.

When you find yourself across the pond.

6. Oh, now it’s on!

Pass the Lucky Charms!

7. It looks like Myanmar has a pretty good grasp on what we like.

I’m impressed!

8. That’s quite a selection.

What’s your poison?

9. Well, would you look at that!

Isn’t that adorable?

10. Give it all to me!

I’m a glutton for punishment.

11. That’s basically all we eat.

Trust me on this one…

Have you ever encountered “American food” when you’ve been in another country?

If so, tell us about it in the comments.

And share some pics too if you have them!

People Talk About Their Ultimate “Broke Food” Experiences

You don’t need me to tell you that it’s not easy growing up poor. Especially if you grew up poor.

My family’s never been wealthy but we did alright. The times when everything was the tightest, I was too young to remember now.

Nevertheless, I’ve had plenty of “broke food” experiences, which is a topic that came up a lot after prolific TV actor Trevor Donovan started this thread:

So, what were we all chowing down on when there was nothing to go around? Twitter tells all.

10. The sugar sandwich

Need the recipe? Bread + sugar. Bon apple teeth.

9. Banquet frozen dinners

Check out that price stamp. Half a buck. Dang.

8. King Vitaman

I don’t know what kind of land you’re ruling, sire, but it definitely isn’t Flavor Town.

7. The flexibility of bread

“I didn’t know I was poor.”

6. Beans and rice

Well that’s…horrifying.

5. Pork and beans sandwiches

Dude, broke or not, that’s a delicious fart treat right there.

4. The cheese preserver

I feel like there are better containers for this but ok.

3. S.O.S.

Who doesn’t love Kool Aid though?

2. A krafty choice

Even adult me who isn’t destitute is lookin’ at that like a fine meal.

1. Government cheese

Everything is better grilled.

Bon apetite!

Check Out These Examples of Terrible Food Ideas

Sometimes, your efforts just don’t quite hit the mark.

Kind of like the classic “nailed it” and cake fail memes, where a good idea is poorly executed.

At other times, the best possible implementation of an idea can’t make up for a bad idea.

Here are 13 mostly beautiful food-themed fails from the Awful Taste But Great Execution subreddit that just shouldn’t have been tried to begin with.

1. Curry Phone Case

I like curry as much as anyone…
but I’d give this lumpy gem a heat level of 0 for taste.

2. Cheese Keyboard

Cheese is my favorite food group…
But having your hands smell like cheese is not the best part of eating cheese.

3. Madagascar Cake

Traumatizing children by beheading beloved characters seems like a bad idea.

4. Savory Wedding Cake

Just. Say. No.
I’m really struggling on who thought this was a good idea.

Wedding cake made with cheese, bacon, beans, and… triscuits? from ATBGE

A Woman Wants to Know if She Was Wrong for “Using Hot Sauce Like an Idiot”

You learn something new every day…and now I know that you can use hot sauce like an idiot!

And I think I might be one of those people, because I’m pretty obsessed with hot sauce…just sayin’.

But this story from the “Am I The A**hole?” page on Reddit is about more than just hot sauce, as you’re about to discover…

Let’s get started.

“I (f23) love hot sauce. My favorite is Tabasco, but I just f**kin love all hot sauce.

For years I’ve carried a mini bottle of Tabasco in my purse and some emergency mini packets in my wallet. I don’t pull it out at restaurants because it’s in poor taste in my culture and most restaurants don’t allow it. It’s mostly for take out eaten on the go or for when I go to spice intolerant close friend’s houses.

I’m also weird in that I don’t put it all over my food or mix it in, I’ll put a few drops or a squirt on individual bites of food because I like to alternate between spicy and regular bites. When I’m out at restaurants I tend to hog the bottle of hot sauce so I normally ask for two bottles so that other people that enjoy hot sauce aren’t inconvenienced.

With that background info out of the way, here’s what happened. Covid restrictions have loosened so my husband and some friends of ours went out to a restaurant with outdoor dining to get some drinks and dinner. One of our friends brought her new boyfriend, Jim, that none of us have met before, and honestly he seemed off from the start.

He openly ogled myself and other women in our group. He made a “joke” about how people with down syndrome are a drain to society after a friend updated us on how her daughter with down syndrome was doing, and he consistently talked down to my friend. When our food arrived, I asked for a second bottle of hot sauce and began to do my thing with it.

When he saw what I was doing, Jim gave me the dirtiest look then asked why I was “using hot sauce like an idiot”. I briefly explained to him why and he then turned to my friend/his gf and told her “you didn’t tell me your OP was a f**king r**ard”.

I’m not gonna lie, I saw red.

I told him off about everything wrong he’d done throughout our get together and that anywhere he was I would no longer be because he was so disgusting and disrespectful.

I then flagged down our waiter, got a to-go box for my hardly touched meal, paid my husband and I’s tab then walked out. I just couldn’t be around someone like him.

Later I got a text from my friend telling me I humiliated her and that all of our friends followed suit and left because they couldn’t stand him either, as well as told her that they refused to be around him. She told me I alienated her and made everyone hate her.

I feel like a total d**k now because I didn’t mean to hurt her, I just wanted to get away from her awful bf before I caused an even bigger scene. She now is begging everyone to give him a second chance and none of us will, and she’s been cursing us out and calling all of us heartless assholes.

So, AITA for this?”

Who knew hot sauce could be so divisive…?

Now check out what readers on Reddit had to say about this story.

This Reddit user stated the obvious: this guy is a creep and needs to be told off in a major way and he was totally inappropriate.

Another person said that this guy is exhibiting potentially abusive behavior and the writer of the post should keep tabs on her friend.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This individual said that the woman’s friend must be going through some kind of self-destructive phase if she’s with someone like this.

And lastly, another person said that the friend owes this woman an apology and that they all might want to keep their distance from this person for a little while.

Yikes!

Okay, you know the drill…

People Talk About the Discontinued Foods They Wish Would Make a Comeback

Don’t call it a comeback, my friends!

Actually, you know what? Do go ahead and call it a comeback, because that is what these people are all calling for; foods that been discontinued to have a resurrection!

You ready to dive in? (Also, this article might make you hungry).

What discontinued foods would you like to see brought back?

AskReddit users shared their thoughts.

1. The golden age.

“Garfield Pizza Flavored Pasta.

SUPER good!

Those of you who didn’t live in the late 1980s and early 90s missed the golden age of canned pastas.”

2. Not the same…

“Those strawberry creme savers.

The original ones are gone and now there’s some horrible tasting knockoff in its place.”

3. Sounds wild.

“Apparently I’m the only one of my friends who remembers these, but those fries from Burger King that you would get with a separate bag and a packet of cheese powder.

You’d proceed to shake the s**t out of both of them in the bag and you’d have cheddary fries.

So good.”

4. Amen!

“The Mexican Pizza at Taco Bell.

Maybe I should be thanking them for getting rid of it because I have no reason to go to Taco Bell now.”

5. Time to bring it back.

“Chewy oat and honey granola bars from Nature Valley.

I’ve only seen the crunchy ones for a few years now.”

6. It’s over…

“Hershey’s BarNone.

It was my favorite chocolate when I was a kid.

Then I researched about it few years ago, they discontinued producing it a long time ago.”

7. Re-discontinued. Doh!

“Maruchan instant wonton soup. It was a staple after-school snack for me when I was a kid. I think about it often and miss it a lot.

Maruchan brought it back a while ago for a sales test but it’s impossible to find again so I think it got re-discontinued.”

8. Do you remember?

“Bonkers would be my pick.

My favorite candy as a kid and I still remember that purple package they came in.”

9. Very satisfying.

“The original Now&Laters formula that would pull out fillings.

It was so satisfying to chew on those and they felt more sour and juicy.

Now they’re soft and my favorite candy is no more.”

10. A relic from the past.

“7up Gold.

I must have been in a test market because many people I talk to have never heard of it. It had a cinnamon-cardamom and maybe ginger flavor?

But it had a bit of a bite to it rather than being sweet like ginger ale. I LOVED it. Must have been the late 1980s? I still miss it.”

11. Sorry to hear that.

“Mandarin Orange Slice.

Had a craving for it the other day and all I can do is drink things that are not Mandarin Orange Slice.”

12. The good stuff!

“Jolt Cola.

“All the sugar, and twice the caffeine!” One of their slogans, the one that stuck with me.”

13. I think it’s time…

“Altoids shad sour chewing gum (Apple and Cherry flavors) during the early 2000s.

They use to sold a whole line of sour-flavored gum until they were discontinued sometime in 2010 or so.

Wish they brought them back since Altoids is nothing but mints.”

14. You sound very passionate.

“HERSHEY’S CHOCOLATE MILK POWDER!!!

No question about it. It was like no other chocolate milk. The flavor and the texture of the powder were like no other chocolate milk created in the history of mankind. It was so delicious that our family’s main method of consuming it was to barely dip a shallow spoonful of the powder into the milk and scoop up the barely dissolved milky powder and just eat it.

I know it sounds strange (my friends definitely make fun of me for it lmao), but it was undeniably heavenly. Hershey’s was practically selling chocolate gold.

But then in like 2008 they discontinued it in favor of their stupid chocolate syrup. WORST DECISION EVER MADE BY A CORPORATION EVER. IT IS NOT THE SAME AT ALL. My family was DEVASTATED. It was like a family member had been decapitated right before our eyes.

We frantically ran around to every grocery store – even the military commissary that was like an hour and a half away – checking to see if there was any left that we could buy up. There was none. We wept.

But in 2013, I found someone selling cartons of them on ebay for ~$25 each. A complete rip off, but what could you do. I showed my dad, and to my surprise he bought us $500 worth. Mind you, we are not very well off at all. Even though it only came out to like 20 boxes and only lasted us a year or so, it was well worth the money.

No chocolate milk powder will EVER come close to what Hershey’s Chocolate Milk Powder was.

Never.

I would do anything to get it back. Please bring it back.”

How about you?

What discontinued foods do you wish we be brought back?

Sound off in the comments! We’d love to hear from you!
