Thing that pissed me off was picking up a carton of ice cream and seeing where it claimed to be “97% Fat Free!” Give me a break. That is semantically incorrect. Given the highly homogenous condition of ice cream, no discernible part of it can be “fat free”, there is no way that information is valid. They either need to say “3% Fat” or say nothing, this marketing BS is just plain wrong.
Wow again. I can’t see how that’s even remotely close to approximating half & half.
I concur with this rant. Even here in CA, I have to ask that about Nachos, even at a mexican restaurant.
Gah, that stuff is vile. Even Velveeta is better.
I’ll not dwell on the fact that Wisconsin SWEPT the top three places in the 1-3 year old cheddar division thereby effectively negating your argument, if you’ll concede that Wisconsin Cheese, at the very minimum, does not belong in a thread entitled “Food that should not exist”. Deal?
Ok, I will go easy on the Wisconsin cheese. Have a Leinie on me.
Believe it or not, fat-free half & half isn’t all that bad in coffee. It’s a tiny bit sweeter than real 1/2&1/2. It kind of tastes not unlike bland creamer, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s whitened with white food coloring (titanium, as are many brands of canned clam chowder) which leaves a bizarre white chemical moostache on your lips if you taste it from a spoon.
If you take that powdered creamer stuff and reconstitute it with hot water, that would be pretty close. If you like that, there’s nothing wrong with it, but the powder is cheaper, more honest, and logistically convenient to boot.
You could put shit on head cheese, but it wouldn’t get any more disgusting.
And the little white donuts are tasty. Even more so when dunked in milk.
Sorry Mam, but those little doughnuts are awesome. I can’t believe there are people that exist that don’t love them!
Nacho Paint is acceptable --nay, required-- for nachos served at sporting events. Must also come with those terrible pickled jalapenos. It should not be put on real nachos or french fries. Ever.
Edit: I must also say I am honestly taken aback by the love of crack doughnuts. I always thought those were a cruel and insufferably dry prank on humanity.
Re the horrid little doughnuts, I always thought they were purposefully formulated to stay together when dunked in coffee or hot chocolate. Very different than an eatin’ doughnut.
As for nacho paint, I can’t stand it on anything, ever. Another completely non-food item, the quality of which takes another nosedive every five years or so. We need a name for foods like that. Movie popcorn “butter” is another example.
These are foods that as we acclimate to the latest cost-cutting version, the penny-pinchers at corporate find another way to make them cheaper. This continues in a cycle of acclimation and degradation until the “food” ceases to have any similarity at all to it’s original state. By this time, however, there will be an entire generation of kids for whom it has always been like that, and who accept the abomination of their times as a gold standard from which the product can be allowed to further decay.
American “Cheese food” is another good example. No. Longer. Food.
I encourage you all to explore and dive deeply into the wealth of information at nutritionfacts dot org. After a few hours there you may well walk away with the sure knowledge that most “food” shouldn’t exist.
Still no takers on fat-free sour cream? I see we had a discussion on fat-free half & half. And while I’ve never tried it, I cannot fathom that it could be as bad as fat-free sour cream.
Please people. Do me a favor. Next time you are at the grocery store, grab a small container of fat-free sour cream. Then taste it. I REALLY want to know if it’s just me, or if the stuff is really just as awful as I think it is.
Fat-free sour cream is truly that awful. I apologize, it never occurred to me that you might be waiting for validation of such a terrifically obvious truth. 
Although I see somebody upthread likes it - they may be using it differently than I do.
I have to weigh in on clam juice. This swill has got to be the most vile, disgusting brew ever to dare call itself a beverage (and I’ve eaten geed, which is sliced, spiced ram’s penis. To be fair, I was 1) schnockered, and 2) I didn’t know what I was eating.) When I was in the Navy aboard the patrol boats we used to have a fellow who used to get bottles of clam juice sent to him by his mother(!) Our skipper came by one day and saw him drinking it and ordered that henceforth the only place that he would open or drink one his containers of bottled evil was on the fantail of the boat. (This is the very rearmost part of the boat, next to the water.) The other food that should not exist is those clots of congealed snot better known as okra. Just the very thought of having to eat okra gives me shivers and the cold sweats. I’m sure that if I were to mention this to my therapist he would have some thoughtful insight into how my hatred of okra is somehow connected to my relationship with my mother, but I digress. On the other hand, I do love me some Bac-O’s! There’s nothing like a BLT! That’s a Bac-O, lettuce and tomato sandwich! I put 'em potato salad, creamed spinach and in tomato soup. I even like 'em in my quiche. Heck, eat 'em right out of the jar, they make the perfect trail food. Next thing I can see in the future? Chocolate-covered Bac-O’s! Yum!
You left out hairy. . . .hairy clots of congealed snot. . .
Oh my gods, you might be right. Those things are so hard and indestructible, they must be intended to be dipped in liquid, because just eating them is a difficult, unsavory task.
I’ve never eaten fat free sour cream because I’m not crazy.
Oh my god, Tamerlane was right! Somebody *is *drinking this! :eek:

That is neither bread nor sweet.
And since it’s neither sweet nor bread,
I think I’ll have a bun instead
