Here's a Dumb One

Post by mister d »

You find out that tomorrow every single specialty brand of food will lose their recipe and taste totally different except one of your choosing. Which one do you choose?



(So chips will still exist, but cheetos won't taste like cheetos and doritos won't taste like doritos and so on.)

I think that's the right answer for me too. I was initially thinking Snickers or Froot Loops, but I barely use ketchup, and the only one I consider is Heinz. Losing that would change too many things.

I also use less ketchup than I used to, but every time I get a ketchup somewhere that isn't Heinz, I miss Heinz.

The more I'm thinking about it, Coke changing its recipe led to rioting in the streets. This is coming from someone who maybe has one soda a week.

I also considered this one. But there are so many hot sauces out there I figure I can muddle through.

True. Plus, it's always possible the recipe for a different hot sauce changes to what Frank's currently is.

I think I'd go with Cheeze-its brand cheese snack as well. Basically the only snack cracker I enjoy and I love Cheeze-Its on my chili filled with beans and corn.

I used to feel the same way as you guys about Heinz ketchup. Then, one day my wife brought home the Trader Joe's organic ketchup. Blasphemy, I know, but I think I prefer it too Heinz.

For me, the answer to the question is Jif peanut butter.

I think I could happily get by without ever having ketchup again. I'll use it on fries, but it isn't a big deal. That said, non-Heinz ketchups suck (never had Trader Joe's). Frank's hot sauce is an abomination and shouldn't be allowed to carry the hot sauce moniker. It's a slightly flavored vinegar bomb. 3 years living in college dorms where Frank's was the only option left me with a strong hatred of the stuff.

I much prefer thousand island on my fires if we're going sauce, but I'd rather have malt vinegar over any other sauce.

I'm with you guys. But of course that's because all the other ginger ales actually taste like ginger.
