2. Dupe - self delete

3. I found that site while looking at this at Sears Catalog 1971

The the site of regrettable food is downright cool. Both sites have a sense of humor

8. the 1971 Sears catalog is great also!

I used it to justify my purchase of a 42" LCD TV. The kick-ass 18" portable color TV with wireless remote was just $429.95 back then, in today's inflated dollars that would be over $2000. The 42" open box special was under $1600!

Not only did I get a better TV than I could have gotten in 1971, I saved over $400!

5. Fascinating and horrible at the same time, you can't look away...

Incidentally, are you familiar with 'Steve, don't eat it!'?
You might enjoy that...you get to learn what a BLT made with Beggin' Strips tastes like.

7. No! What is that?

Don't read this before eating, naturally.

6. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

For reminding me of this homage to culinary catastrophe.

9. Can I have some more, Dad? It's not only disgusting, it's racist, too!

:sarcasm:

"Heap Big Steak"? "Totem Burgers"? Is that what they serve at the Washington R*dsk*ns' concession stands?!

Note to time travelers: Do NOT set the machine for 1950-1959, inclusive (unless Elvis is involved, maybe).

[Redstone]

10. Christ, that reminds me: I have to send him this astonishlingly hilarious booklet

that I got for 35 cents about a year ago:

Velveeta Recipes For People Who Eat Food.

I shit you not.

I'll have to scan some of the pages and post them.
