Foods That Are Better Stale

Ice-cold flat pop rules! You’re making me wish we weren’t out of Pepsi.

Crullers are far better day-old than fresh.

I was going to say Oreos, gingersnaps and Peeps! Darn!

Indygrrl, circus peanuts will also give you weird dreams if you eat them at night, IME. I ate a few of them a night a few months ago, and I had crazy dreams until I stopped eating them. And our Wal*Mart sells them in pink, white and the old standy, Caution Orange.

Stale Peeps are the thing I’ve missed most in my 4+ years of Vegetarianism. Boohoo me so sad every Easter…

I check the package in stores every year to see if they’ve changed the recipe to get rid of the gelatin, like so many european candies have done (yay Storck!), due, I assume to the whole Mad-Cow and Hoof’n’Mouth disease things a couple of years back. Of course, changing the formula that drastically could eliminate the heavenliness altogether, but I’d bet that using a different gelling agent would make 'em stale quicker.

Here’s a tip for you lucky so’n’so’s who still get to eat them- Microwave them fresh for a few seconds, then let them cool- instant staleness!

Movie popcorn. It always tastes better a few hours later, or the next day.

My sister’s another fan of stale Oreos - bleah. I’ll vote for cheese; especially bleus.
