Horrifying Foods

I watched a video where a guy tried some odd foods, and aside from the toast sandwich, they were all awful. There was a bizarre recipe involving cranberry sauce, fruit-flavored gelatin, and mayonnaise, which he described as looking like dog food. And you know, it kind of did. Upon trying the nightmarish thing, he found it so unspeakably disgusting that he rushed off-camera, presumably to make retching noises.

Anyway, I thought I'd make a blog post about foods that sound unappealing. Whether it's crazy videos, odd images floating around on social media, or things we see at the supermarket, we come across some strange or unappealing foods sometimes.

How to Have a Yard Sale in Montana

Man years ago, my mother and older brother went to Montana to visit my grandmother, who was planning to have a yard sale. The day they were getting things set up, it was blazing hot. Sweat poured from them as they worked to get everything done. One of my uncles, who lived nearby, came by and disconnected the heater, since the weather was getting so warm.
 
Mockup of weather forecast, showing temperatures getting up to 143 degrees, and only cooling down to a blistering 119 degrees.

Finally, they finished setting up. They went to bed that night, and would start the yard sale tomorrow.
Well, tomorrow came, and it wasn't hot. In fact, great quantities of snow had fallen, and it was like the Arctic Zone outside. My poor family huddled in the garage, the door only partially open, trying to keep from freezing solid. My uncle came over again and reconnected the heater that they thought wouldn't be needed any more.
 
'The Awkward Yeti' comic by Nick Seluk- The sun says, 'Come out, idiot! The weather is great!' The yeti sees the clear, sunny day and goes outside, then says 'Hey!' because it's suddenly overcast and rainy. Then a huge snowfall knocks him over. 'Over here, dummy!' the sun shouts from the suddenly clear sky. The yeti runs by screaming, totally engulfed in flames.
Did Nick Seluk ever live in Montana? Seems accurate.

Despite the weather, they actually made some decent sales. And some of the first things to go were the items that my grandmother wasn't sure would sell. One person bought a camp toilet for their fishing trips. Another person bought the regular toilet to use as a planter in their garden.

Real-Life Mythical Things

We've all consumed a lot of media in our time. TV shows, movies, books, songs... And in these things, there are sometimes stories including everyday things. Or at least, everyday to some. Today's blog post is about common things, or supposedly common, that not everyone has actually experienced.

Phineas and Ferb discover some bizarre creature with the head and tail of a unicorn, the fore legs of an elephant, the hind legs of a frog, and the shell of a turtle. The creature they discovered... doesn't actually exist.
You mean, you don't have weird beaver-duck hybrids with venomous spurs where you live? Inconceivable!

Three-Breakfast Chloe

A while back, my cousin woke up early, decided she'd feed the cats while she was up, then went back to sleep.
Later on, her partner got up, and both cats started begging for sustenance. He thought, "Well, Chloe always claims she's hungry, but if Ozzy is asking for food, then they must not have eaten." So he gave the cats their breakfast.
 
A black cat sprawled on the floor. Either she's really comfortable, or she's just been shot.
Oh woe! I am starving!

Not long after, this conversation occurred.
"Hey, I fed the cats for you."
"...But I fed them already."
Chloe has a reputation for trying to take Ozzy's food, so we assume she wolfed down her breakfast, then stole Ozzy's. So he was hungry, and my cousin's partner assumed they hadn't been fed yet. And Chloe, the queen of gluttons, got three breakfasts.

Yeah, you don't need any more food.

Very Superstitious... (epic music)

Writing on the wall...
Often we have little superstitions, things we do or don't do because we feel it'll have some impact on our luck. Even if there's no logical reason why it would affect things, we still stare really hard at the thrown pokeball, willing the lugia to stay inside the capsule with all our might. We avoid going anywhere or doing anything on a certain day, because things never go right then. Today's blog post is about those personal superstitions we have.
