Our Top Ten "Edibles" That Aren't Really Edible

This post is in direct response to some of Dave Pilkington's incorrect choices in his top ten worst junk foods. We agree with #9 (Popcorn Jelly Bellys), #8 (Peanut Butter Kisses), #3 (Snowballs), and #2 (Flaming Hot Funions) and those that made to our list as well have got to be in the top ten on everyone's list. We have never had an Oreo Cakester and never will, thanks for the warning.

However, we must inform you (David) that you are mistaken on several items...
#10, Skittles... Dan, "I love the rainbow... in small amounts" Steph, "as long as you do not eat all the flavors at the same time... you are good to go!"
#7 Hostess Fruit Pies... says Dan, "best food ever". Steph says, "they are OK".
#6 Circus Peanuts... Dan, "Once again, wonderful in moderation" Steph, "uhh... they are not the worst thing I have eaten"

Now onto the list...

10. Mountain Dew Code Red - Steph, "Can any one think of anything worse to combine with Mt. Dew than cherry?" Dan, "Freaking Commie drink"
9. Dominoes Pizza - Steph, "Cardboard with sauce" Dan, "Frozen pizza is WAY better"
8. Funions - Steph, "If it smells like feet, it's not a treat!" Dan, "and I like onions"
7. Orbit Bubble Mint Gum - Dan, "It's not worth the three calories." Steph, "agreed"
6. Valentine's Heart Candies - Steph, "At least Tums have calcium" Dan, "I got a hate one once"
5. Popcorn Jelly Bellys - Steph, "The only jellybean worse are those Harry Potter ones and they are meant to taste bad" Dan, "Hey did you know there is a Jelly Belly store out in South Jordon"
4. Boston Baked Beans candy - Dan, "Seriously, they were like good when I was like five, but so were my boogers!" Steph, "Never had them, but if they resemble a baked bean in candy form... I am not going there"
3. Good n' plenty - Steph, "I think I just puked in my mouth again" Dan, "Those things are just nasty, I have never liked them, they are just gross."
2. Peanut Butter Kisses (those Halloween candies wrapped in Orange and Black Wrappers) - Dan, "I could at least trade Good n' Plenty for something better." Steph, "Anything sold in two pound bags has GOT to be bad."
1. Idaho Spud - Dan, "I have never eaten one before, but I have dropped kids off at the pool that look like those." Steph, "Seriously, I have stepped in things that taste better."







Look at that thing... need we say more!

Here are our honorable mentions:
Peanut M&M's - Steph likes them, Dan says, "I'll eat them, but I don't like em" (Sorry Autumn)
Regular Tootsie Rolls - the worst for Steph, honorable mention for Dan
Peeps - beep, beep, boom (like a microwave)
Sixlets - Dan loves them... Steph hates them
Chiclets - They lose their flavor far too quickly
Junior Caramels - THEY HURT US!!! Dan, "They should not take more energy to clean them off your teeth than you get from eating them" Steph, "Sounds like a good weight lose program to me"
Mt. Dew Revolution - Berries and Ginseng, come on now???

Steph must add that if Dan will not eat it (such as the things on the list), they MUST be bad!

I love your list guys. Very funny comments from the both of you.

The Idaho spud looks like a decrepit turd. Thanks for the heads up.

Dan, as far as liking the hostess fruit pies, do you eat them because they make you feel more refined? That is why I used to like them. My grandparents made them seem so high-class.
Until I saw one of them half eaten and molding in the fridge.

Which, I must say, will turn one off to just about any food.
The same thing happened with nachos I found under the bleachers at a little league baseball game.
