These Controversial Food Opinions Might Raise Some Eyebrows

Do you have any odd opinions about food that might cause people to argue and debate with you?

I have one: I like to eat salami rolled up with cream cheese inside. I’ve caught a lot of flack for that for some reason…

Let’s begin!

1. Cereal killer.

2. You might cause a riot.

3. Okay, that’s weird.

4. There’s something wrong with you.

5. I’m gonna be sick.

6. I’m not on your side.

7. I can go either way on this one…

8. Whoa! Fightin’ words!

9. Many would disagree.

10. Interesting…

11. Bone-in, please.

12. I agree with the spaghetti part…

13. Are you from Europe?

14. You may leave now, sir.

15. So you just don’t like food…?

Readers, let us know your unpopular food opinions in the comments.

Let the debates begin!

You Can Now Buy Pickle-Flavored Lip Balm

You need lip balm in your life, especially in the dry winter. Lip balms usually come in the same few types of flavor — vanilla, berry, and mint are typical.

But if you’re looking to branch wayyy out from those, there’s a new pickle-flavored lip balm that may appeal to you.

The new lip balm is formulated to taste just like dill pickles, and it comes from BluePoppyBath, a seller on Etsy. Aside from the bizarre scent and flavor, the lip balm is similar to other natural lip balms. It comes in a push tube and contains nourishing and moisturizing ingredients such as cocoa butter, shea butter and vitamin E.

The item description says the pickle lip balm “sounds weird” but is “strangely addicting!”

Pickles are one of those food items that one can easily become obsessed with out of nowhere — BluePoppyBath even recommends the lip balm as a pregnancy craving gift (that’s probably why so many pickle novelty items exist).

In addition to pickle lip balm, there have been a ton of other weird pickle-flavored items over the years, like pickle ice cream, pickle candy canes, pickle vodka, pickle mints, pickle marshmallows, and pickle cotton candy. The list is basically endless!

But unlike these pickle-flavored foods, pickle lip balm will stay on your lips for a while, so you can enjoy that pickle-y goodness for as long as possible.

Twitter Users Share the Weird (And Gross) Thanksgiving Dishes That Their Families Make

Some foods are pretty universal for American Thanksgiving: turkey (of course), stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, pumpkin pie, etc. You can go to almost any house on Thanksgiving and you’ll end up having a pretty typical meal that day.

But…a lot of families also apparently have some downright strange recipes for Thanksgiving as well. Foods that some of us might recoil at if it was placed in front of us.

This tweet generated quite the conversation on Twitter.

You’ve been warned…

Okay, let’s get started!

1. Seafoam salad, anyone?

2. Forget about the cranberry sauce.

3. What have you done?!?!

4. An interesting choice…

5. Sounds delicious!

6. OH MY GOD.

7. Worse than it sounds.

8. Can’t forget about that one.

9. I wasn’t warned.

10. I’d probably try it…

11. Holy sh*t.

12. You’re still with him?

13. A sad Thanksgiving.

14. Hmmmm, not sure about this.

Those recipes certainly seem…interesting.

Does your family have any odd/strange/weird/gross/repulsive foods that they cook up every year? If so, share them with us in the comments!

Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving!

Millions of Americans Think Chocolate Milk Comes From Brown Cows

I’ve never thought about the fact that people over the age of 5 might think strawberry, chocolate, and regular milks come from different color cows, but, I mean, if no one ever told you differently…I suppose it could still make sense?

Aside from the fact that you’ve never actually seen a pink cow.

Then again, I live in the middle of the country, where cows appear regularly on the side of the road. So maybe I should give coastal city folk a break?

A post shared by Cbeeby (@cbbseal) on

NAH – this is ridiculous.

It turns out that A LOT of adults believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows. How many, you ask?

Well, according to the Innovation Center for US Dairy’s website, around 16.4 million people across the country.

They know this because they commissioned a survey to see, which found that 7% of respondents think brown cows equal chocolate milk.

Yep, right out of the udder.

This despite the fact that their official statement (and common sense) says, “Chocolate milk – or any flavored milk for that matter – is white cow’s milk with added flavoring and sweeteners.”

And get this: 48% of respondents – which would mean over 154 million people nationally, if the survey statistics were extrapolated to the country as a whole – admitted they aren’t sure where chocolate milk comes from. As in, maybe it comes from a brown cow? Who knows??

A few more fun facts that emerged from the same survey:

37% of Americans admit to drinking milk straight out of the carton in the fridge (YIKES).

And 29% of Americans buy chocolate milk “for the kids,” but really they just want an excuse to drink it themselves.

As far as the latter, I hope by the time their kids move out they can own what they like and drink it all day like a m-fing adult (who may not know where it comes from). Because chocolate milk, brown cow or no, is delicious.

Jon Bon Jovi Has Two Restaurants Where People in Need Can Eat for Free

I grew up in the 1980s and was fully on-board with the music of the time, and Bon Jovi was always one of my favorite bands. Also, Jon Bon Jovi himself just always seemed like a really genuine, nice guy compared to a lot of other rock stars.

It turns out my feeling was right on the money.

In addition to his incredibly successful music career, Bon Jovi started the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation to help fight poverty and homelessness. As part of his initiative, he’s opened two restaurants in his native New Jersey called JBJ Soul Kitchen where needy people can eat for free, one in Red Bank and one in Toms River. The project was actually the brainchild of Bon Jovi’s wife, Dorothea Hurley.

There are no menu prices at JBJ Soul Kitchen, but patrons who can pay are encouraged to donate $20 and those who don’t have enough money are urged to volunteer at the restaurant.

The two restaurants have already served more than 100,000 people, and, according to their website, 54% of people paid for their meals and 46% volunteered in order to eat a meal. Reservations are not required, but those who are in need are given first priority. The meals consist of three courses, are nutritious and contain vegetables grown in the restaurant’s gardens.

Bon Jovi’s foundation also focuses on providing housing to those in need, including veterans.

What the heck, let’s end with a classic Bon Jovi tune, shall we?

Great work, Mr. Bon Jovi! Keep it up!

“Pinch of Grinch” Cookies Will Be on Shelves During the Holidays

I LOVE the type of holiday-themed food and drinks that only come out for special occasions. It doesn’t matter if it’s for Halloween, Easter, 4th of July, Valentine’s Day: if it’s fun and only available for a limited time, I’m all in.

And there have been a whole lot of these products to choose from this year. Of course, there is the now-annual tradition of the phenomenon known as the Pumpkin Spice Latte…what was life like before it?!?!

This year, we’ve also seen an IHOP menu full of spooky treats and a jet-black Icee drink at AMC Theaters in conjunction with the release of the new, animated version of The Addams Family. You know, fun stuff…

Well, I have some great news for you if you agree with me on this front: Pinch of Grinch cookies for the holiday season! The green sugar cookie dough is topped with a red heart. Yummy!

The packs from Nestlé Toll House cost $2.99 and will be on the shelves at Target, Kroger, and other select retailers.

Each package contains 20 pre-cut cookies, so all you have to do is pop these babies in the oven and you’ll be munching on these green treats in no time.

Hopefully, the Grinch himself approves as well…but you never know with that fella…

UPDATE: It seems that Nestlé recalled many of their products recently, so the Pinch of Grinch cookie dough is not currently in stores. So we’ll all just have to see how this situation plays out…

We’ll be waiting…

Dunkin’ Donuts Is Ditching Its Iconic (But Environmentally Unfriendly) Styrofoam Cups

A lot of people are probably excited that Dunkin’ Donuts is getting rid of styrofoam cups at its locations.

The successful chain announced the move in 2018, and it is getting moving. The implementation of these changes will be 100% complete by April 2020.

This is a step in the right direction. The chain’s new vessels of choice will be double-walled paper cups that have a plastic lining to keep hot drinks warm. Dunkin’ Donuts is even going to make sure local governments have a say in how these cups will be recycled.

Customers have shared mixed opinions because the chain’s old cups really were iconic. But the environment is a good reason to give up something you don’t really need, even though you may have an emotional attachment to it.

The famed donut company worked hard for 10 years to come up with a way to solve its styrofoam problem. Dunkin’ has reported using more than a billion styrofoam cups annually.

That’s really too many.

In addition to the revamped cups, the company has ended “double-cupping.” This is when customers are given a styrofoam cup they can wrap around their cold drinks, so they won’t get warm.

Dunkin’ even coordinated a campaign that tried to make this transition fun. Needless to say, many New England customers aren’t happy about these changes, but the company knows and has anticipated people’s reactions for some time now. Kelly Katapodis, a spokeswoman for the company says,

“Our goal was to satisfy all our customers with a cup that is more environmentally friendly, has the insulation properties of foam and has the lid that our customers know and love. It took us a while to find the answer, but we believe the double-walled paper cup will please all our guests.”

Dunkin’ Donuts joins a slew of other companies that are changing their practices to preserve the environment.

And it’s about time!
