I wonder if it’s sweet or savory. If it’s savory I could see dipping like Ruffles into it or something, but if it’s sweet ice cream with ranch flavor hell no.Quote:

The state has produced more astronauts than any other state, save 4, which begs the question, what is is about Ohio that makes people want to leave the planet?
In sum, it's a Great Lake state, too different from the midwest, decidedly not east coast, and the last line of defense should Kentucky take up arms against the north.
The rust belt is a weird combination of mid-west and Upstate for sure. Like if Rochester watched all their rivers catch fire while eating a casserole.
Dunno, from my vantage point on the left coast of New England, Ohio seems pretty Midwest to me. I can see Upstate from my driveway.
If Erie, PA wasn't in the way, NE Ohio and the Upstates would touch.

US Census Bureau puts Ohio in the Midwest. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midw..._United_States
The fuck do they know? It's only 4 census regions for a country that is 2,680 miles wide and 1,582 miles tall. They nail it later in there:
The East North Central Division includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin, all of which are also part of the Great Lakes region.
No ranch dressing fetishes in there save maybe Wisconsin.
Ohio is the armpit of America.
I’d argue it’s “Mid Atlantic”
Ohio, the shittier more polluted part you go through after leaving the coast but before you get to the Midwest. Has a nice ring to it.Quote:

Since that is a division of the Midwest, you sound a lot like those guys in here claiming that Western NY is not part of Upstate.Quote:

My guess is that they are safe, but the flavor will be off
You’re joking right? Of course you can eat it. It’s at least 90% as good as it was the day it shipped from the factory.Quote:

Ffs, what was so wrong with the chocolate ones?
Hey, sometimes you just need to have that fake citrus tang as you clog your arteries with cheap carbs.Quote:

That artificial orange was something else that I don't really need to repeat. And the sugar and grease were what one would expect from a Hostess anything. it was like that mouthful of frosting that you should scrape off the supermarket birthday cake. My stomach definitely felt off for a short while.Quote:

I double dog dared myself to eat, partially because my kid didn't think anyone should due to its dubious claim to be a food product.
I roasted up some peppers. My boy prides himself on eating hot food. So kiddo. How hot is too hot?
First, a bite of jalapeño. Tasty, spicy.
Next, a bite of Serrano. This is actually fairly hot!
Last up. And the sister egging us on...
She says, whoever eats the whole habanero is the true slice monkey. Alright. We both ate entire roasted habaneros. Hoy shit! They are fuckin HOT!
We both proceeded to suffer for the next 20 minutes, and will likely have a gnarly case of ring sting in the morning.
Nevermind the overcooked meat. That's what I get for weeding the garden at the same time.
So. Question for you all is, roasted Habanero, would you eat it? We did. Oof.Attachment 458896
I would not overcook my meat, I can say that. As for torturing children, I would totally do that.
Yeah, i was disappointed in the overcooked meat. Got distracted pulling weeds. -1 point for basinbeater. I'll do better next time.Quote:

Or come for the King and Queen of Heat contest in Feb or March.
Not sure what the record is, but there was a lady about 8 years ago that ate 37.Quote:
Each year hundreds of brave, if somewhat foolhardy, souls eat Great Balls of Fire to help Oregon Energy Fund pay winter heating bills for families in need across the state. The Toughest Tongue, King/Queen of Heat and other contests induce crazies and competitive types to eat more than anyone ever should. But it’s for a good cause and lots of fun to watch. Local TV, radio and social media often give the events colorful coverage.
But don’t be fooled. Read the warning sign. Think it over. This is seriously hot stuff. Gastrointestinal distress is pretty much guaranteed. We’ll make you sign a release because no one walks away unscathed.
I’ve eaten one. Then I farted and my pants caught fire.
Fire on the Mountain also has a spicy wing challenge so you could double up while you’re here.
^^^They opened a store in Bend this year
Nice. Hadn’t heard thatQuote:

Any time a kid's palate gets roasted deserves points. I remember as a kid if I got one red pepper flake I would be running around the kitchen.

The only competition I ever won was a hot dog eating contest in a hole in the wall in western mass. I ate 8 dirty dogs. Get your mind out of that gutter. I won, guess it, a free punch card and a fake tux t-shirt. But I did adopt that store's name as my trail name on the AT because I couldn't come up with anything else. Fact.
I did win a standing long jump competition in middle school for some presidential honor or some BS. I had a violent Irish father, so it came with the territory.
In response to the original question…
Madonna?
Don't make me find and post the Texas Chili contest substitute judge but.Quote:
