Update: We screwed up! The KFC Double-Down Sandwich has 1380 mg of SODIUM, not calories. It has a much more reasonable 540 calories for its original and 460 calories for its grilled version.

You ask what Grimace is Joe? Well, I’ll tell you.
A buddy of mine asked that very question and decided to find out the answer. He called the McDonald hotline and they said…
He’s a shake fiend!
Which makes sense because I remember him when he had multiple arms and was called ‘Evil Grimace’ and his sole purpose in life was to steal drinks from people, particularly milk shakes.
Like some of the other McDonald characters (I’m looking at you Hamburglar), Grimace was altered to be more kid friendly. He stopped stealing shakes and lost the extra arms.

Love the show. Keep up the good work!
Gina, that is a great find! Thanks to that I’ve now ordered a couple of bags of “Legendee” artificial enzyme-treated coffee for my wife!
For anyone else interested in it, I bought it from http://www.handocoffee.com/ in Canada, and it’s available at http://www.trung-nguyen-online.com/ in the USA.
(Totally non-sponsored links, but if they want to send Caustic Soda some free coffee we won’t complain!)

KFC has ruined food with their chicken as a bun idea.
People are DIY-ing their own stupid foods.

After being vegetarian for the best part of a decade, I saw food inc, forgot all about it and then became (returned to being) a carnivore.
Fowl and swine hold little interest for my palate, but I sure do like them cows.
If you thought eating mayonnaise to death was bad, try drowning in it:

Although no one died, 40 tonnes of mayo is pretty gross.

“Blackstrap Molasses & Wheat Germ Bread” by Danny Kaye, Groucho Marx, Jane Wyman, and Jimmy Durante. Should have been in the ep description, maybe I’ll fix that.
Thank you, listening to ‘space warfare’ as I type..
Lutefisk! Wikipedia says it’s caustic… reminds me of the pee shark in a way.
I was a small child during those scary McDonald’s commercials. Amazing I am not more warped than I am after that. (But Ronald actually still creeps the shite out of me as an adult.)
