My favorite has always been “rats with hats.” Know any others?..aside from sliders. ---

Sliders, belly bombers, onion rolls, (upper GI) track clearers, munch 'n gos. We love them in my house and we call 'em all kinds of (bad) names. Gotta be in the mood for them but once The Crave[sup]TM[/sup] hits, you gotta have some pipecleaners. Usually my kids think they taste exactly like more. ---

No White Castle. We had Little Tavern. Burgers: Sliders, Belly Bombers, McSnack LT: Bun-n-run, Pig-n-puke, Eat-n-beat (as in feet), Pay-n-pray or Go-and-gas. ---

They were called “Gut Grenades” in St. Louis. Ah, White Castle. They don’t have them out here in SF, so I can only try and explain to my friends the pleasure of eating 3 double-cheeseburgers, a double-cheese-fish, cheese fries and an orange soda at 3am, then going to the bathroom and staring at your other-dimension twin staring back at you through the “too-cheap-to-afford-real-mirrors” scratched-up piece of shiny metal above the sink. ---

I even remember White Castle burgers being called Soylent Green – after the sci-fi movie. Soylent was a cracker-like substance and the main staple food of this future generation. It comes in a variety of shades: red, yellow, and at the beginning of the movie, we are introduced to a new shade of green, supposedly made from seaweed. Except is was made from humans! 🙂 ---

Sweat pads. I love White Castles. I just have to remember not to eat them if I’m going to be around people other than my son. He thinks the after effects are funny. Pull my finger… ---

Colostomy in a cup. Sphincter scrapers. Cow cadavers (this goes for every burger, though).
