It's Thanksgiving, and you know what that means? It's time to eat some seasonally appropriate food like turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce! It's so interesting that most of us eat the same thing for Thanksgiving every year. Imagine what Thanksgiving would be like if we drank mashed potato-flavored wine instead of red wine. What if we stuffed the bird with baked beans? What if, instead of slicing congealed cranberry sauce from a can, we sliced congealed gravy? Unfortunately,…

On Christmas Day, customers usually have enough shame to not show up at a fast food place. They ask insecure questions about when the company lets the employees go home. When you deliver the sad news that you're working until closing, they retreat to their table to eat their McChicken with embarrassed expressions. Unfortunately, during Thanksgiving, customers have a lot less shame. They find it incredibly quirky to go to Popeyes for Thanksgiving instead of cooking a homemade meal. Working in fa…

Do y'all remember when the concept of bacon was the biggest meme in the world? 2012 was truly a time to be alive: A time when memes were so simple that a popular food could dominate the landscape of popular memes for over a year. Now don't get me wrong, I like bacon. It's the only meat that I would miss if I followed the dietary restrictions put forth by the Old Testament. That being said, even as a meme-obsessed teen, I found the bacon thing to be a bit much. The bacon meme extended far beyond…

Cooking is a unique beast. For some people, knowing how to cook various meals is the top indicator that you can actually take care of yourself. Sometimes cooking is not utilitarian but rather an act of love or compassion. Other people do not care whether their food is cooked in their kitchen or not and see cooking and eating as merely a mechanism for survival. We attach many meanings to food and cooking, making it a very complicated and unexpectedly personal topic. At this point in my life, I c…

Just no

It's frozen!?

Ready your stomachs

They're a sensation

Mind blowing

Pay people fairly

Taking things literally

If fast food is so bad for you, then why does it feel so good? Popeyes and Raising Canes are definitely guilty pleasures of mine, but they really shouldn't be! After all, any kind of unhealthy food is fine in moderation. People freaking out about the dangers of fast food makes me think about the damage the movie Supersize Me did to our collective critical thinking skills. Morgan Spurlock (yes, I know his name) really thought it was a hot take that eating at McDonalds every day for a month would…

Pull up

The 1950s was the golden age of the Jell-O mold . Homemakers regularly put their leftover fruits, vegetables, and even cheeses into a monstrosity of gelatin. This culinary trend sparks a lot of unanswered questions. What secrets were they hiding in there? Who decided this was a good idea? Was Jell-O the symbol of the repressed female rage that lived inside every 1950s housewife? Throughout the past few decades, foods have gotten even crazier than lime Jell-O with cottage cheese. With newfangled…

Quite frankly, it seems like this woman had really low expectations for every frozen meal and was happy and surprised at the quality of each item. It looks like the top favorites were all the Indian dishes and the curries, where as the least favorites were the Asian dishes. These ranking videos are actually insanely helpful for your next trip to the grocery store and her reviews are thorough enough that it'll save you the trouble of trying some frozen disaster of a meal. If you like low-stress…
