oh my god, i was just reminded today of one of the skankiest foods i can remember from the '70s...




HAM SALAD!!!

my mom used to make this stuff with lots of salad dressing and chopped pickles and it was BRIGHT PINK WITH LITTLE GREEN SPECKS and it tasted like sick.

i can still remember the big white tubs of DEVILED HAM we'd bring home from the grocery deli. GROSS!!!

thank goodness for progress.

oh no it looks like vomit!

i can't believe we used to keep this in the house! and we'd eat it with cottage cheese! and sometimes there'd be TAB or FRESCA involved!

Wacky Packs And Crazy Cow
finally someone remembers wacky packs! They also spoofed Ragu which became Rawgoo and Wonder Bread became Blunder. I remember going to the grocery store with my grandmother and getting Crazy Cow cereal, which turned your milk chocolate and it also came in strawberry.

speaking of bad food, you guys have to check this out. the food on this page is just absolutely terrifiying, but the commentary totally makes up for it.

a bit of caution, tho'--some of the dishes in there are NOT for the squeamish (especially the creepy meat dishes)...but it's still worth a look.

ChargingBULL said:

well, you didn't hear it from me, but when was the last time you talked to your mother, cause i saw him lat night in the woods dancing with satan wearing a poncho made from cow fur

cborgman said:

o no!!!

dancing to the spice girls, no less

oh, and i forgot - we'd have the ham salad on toast, and my mom would slather miracle whip on so it would melt into the toast before the ham salad went on.


is it any wonder i'm a vegetarian?

Anxiety said:

vegetarian for SATAN!

Anxiety said:

ham salad sounds scary. i've never had the stuff...now i'm glad my folks never made the stuff.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

It was Anxiety's idea! HE MADE ME DO IT!

cborgman said:

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, THIS IS ABOUT DAMN HAM SALAD

cborgman said:

I saw the sick bastard soaking in warm milk.

Anxiety said:

and by "ham salad" you of course mean "my commitment to satan and all of his evil ways"

Satan said:

anxy, say it ain't so! say it ain't so!!!!

ChargingBULL said:

you should see what he does with the blood

i sense a profound loss of focus in this thread.

Anxiety said:

it's those ham salad fumes...

cborgman said:

He's trying to find the 7th calf of the 7th calf of the great satanic cow.

I'm sorry, but this thread is satanic as hell.

I like ham salad. what's not to like? as long as you make it yourself.

anyway...I remember that "crust toothpaste" sticker! I thought it was garbage pail kids or something like that?

Anxiety said:

i sense the evil within you, SATAN-LOVER!

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

and anxiety's satanic evil fumes

well, i guess if i had to choose between eating ham salad or cat barf, i would choose ham salad. of course, i'd have to be able to figure out which was which.
