Clam Chowder Popsicles Are Here to Potentially Ruin Your Summer

I bet you can’t wait to chase down the ice cream truck down to get your hands on a popsicle this summer!

Well, I don’t mean to ruin your good mood, your love of popsicles, or your life, but some evil person posted the photo below on a Reddit page and outraged just about everyone. Oh, and they posted on it on the BOSTON Reddit page for good measure.

Ladies and gentlemen…the Clam Chowder Popsicle.

Summah is here! #NewEngland #clamchowdah from boston

Some of the comments on the photo on Reddit include:

“I’m calling the FBI.”

“I will spend 10 whole minutes in the Red Line rather than eat that.”

“I can smell this, you wretched f*ck. I can smell the picture.”

“I regret being born with eyes.”

“Oh my god. So f*cking gross…and what self respecting Bostonian eats Chunky f*cking chowder. My god you can get decent clam chowder here almost as easily as you can get a large regular from Dunkin.”

I think it’s safe to say that people on Twitter are not happy about this new development in the world of frozen treats, either.

Because why would anybody do this?

Whyyyyyy?!?!?!

They clearly only have a heart filled with evil.

And someone tweeted this out, which may lead to months of therapy for some of us.

Apparently, the person who posted the photo said in a Reddit message, “I did not make or eat the thing. My friend made it. I have no idea why she did it.”

So the good news is these babies aren’t for sale…yet.

I’m sorry you had to see this…

What’s Really Inside the Hot Dog You’re Eating?

We are in full-blown hot dog season right now. Actually, hot dog season is all year long, but the summer is when we’re all going to cookouts, baseball games, and food trucks to load up on wieners.

But have you ever taken the time to sit back and think about what’s actually in all those hot dogs that you’re stuffing your face with?

All of us have heard the rumors over the years about the disgusting ingredients inside that foot long. But trust me – they may not be the most healthy concoction ever dreamed up, but hot dogs are 100% FDA approved.

So what’s in them? Well, a whole lot of “trimmings”, which are discards of meat cuts leftover at the slaughterhouse (that’s a nice image). Think a lot of fatty tissue, sinewy muscle, meat from an animal’s head, and even the liver sometimes. These trimmings can also contain animal blood, skin, and feet (but it’s all edible). All of these leftovers are cooked to kill bacteria, made into a paste, and then ground up.

It’s also at this point that other ingredients are added for flavor and to help with curing the meat that will one day be a delicious hot dog. After this process, the ground up paste is put into casings and cooked all the way. Then there’s a water rinse, the dogs are removed from the casing, and they’re packaged for all of us to buy. So now you know, and you can put some of the (more) disgusting rumors to rest. Enjoy your summer dogs – I know I will!
