Too much cake batter (say, an entire bowl) will expand in your stomach and come up your throat causing you to puke. Learned through experience (not mine, a friend’s).
Who eats canned frosting? Ew.
Agreed…
Cake batter is AWESOME
Excellent username /post combo.
Translated from Weasel to English, the warning reads: “Go ahead and eat the raw cake batter, but don’t sue us.”
The most fascinating thing about this thread is the “As usual The Family Circus …” thing. Why “as usual”? Is this a running joke that I’ve missed?
It happens all the time since I burn with the rage of a million suns. No problem for me.
I’d take a nice raw egg over raw cake mix any day, but maybe that’s just me…
If a single poster posting those comics all the time counts as a running joke.
Nobody forcing to read. Don’t like move on. Bear shits in woods, pope, etc.
I wonder what would happen if you ate the cake batter box and all?
Yum. And if I knew the world was ending tomorrow, I’d eat the WHOLE CAN.
Because of this thread, I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies mainly to eat the cookie dough. I always eat raw dough and batter and have never gotten sick. It is heavenly!
I vote for the OP eating the raw cake batter while logged on to the Board, documenting in real time any physiological changes that may be occurring. If he disappears suddenly, we’ll know he died.
No kidding. If I knew the world was ending tomorrow, I’d never stop eating, and chocolate cake and icing would be top of that list.
Oh COME NOW!!! I have been eating raw cake batter by the bowl-full for years. I prepare it with egg as the box says and serve up a cereal-bowl-sized portion. I would consume that much nightly in front of the TV for four nights until it was gone. No cake to bake, just cold “porridge” as I fondly call it. Never got sick. Never had a cake or any confection grow in my stomach. And I never got fat. That’s it, I’m going to the Betty Crocker website and get to the bottom of this nonsense!
It’s safer to turn off the mixer before licking the beaters.
I still enjoy licking those beaters whenever we make cake.
OK, as long as we’re waking this zombie, I’d like to go back to the Family Circus linked upthread. It shows that news reports of salmonella outbreaks are fresh in the mom’s memory, and the kid is slurping down raw cake batter and thanking her for giving it to him. So, is the implication that she’s trying to kill him? That seems a little dark for Family Circus.
Not that he hasn’t been asking for it. “Save some for you brothers and sister!”
Zombies eat cake batter! :eek:
Those were not real Family Circus panels. They were dark parodies created by the person who posted them, who has since been banned.
I know this is a bit of a zombie, but I just checked and my egg carton does have a warning label that says to fully cook eggs, to the point the yolks are firm. Risk of salmonella or no, I’ll never give up my runny yolks.
You could always buy the pre-made dough and eat that. Always good at slumber parties.
