I won something!

Okay, so a while ago I happened upon a fairly amusing web site called I Hate My Message Board. The first attraction for me was the snack food reviews. It’s always fun to find someone else who is willing to try all kinds of weird foods just because they’ve never tried them before. There was a contest there for the scariest product. The item I really wanted to enter was a thing I found at the new Lidl here. They had a special on Greek food, including a can of “musky octopus”. Not only was it a horrifying CAN OF OCTOPUS, but they felt the need to include the modifier MUSKY. But I did not enter that product in the contest because the scary can of octupus cost something like £3.50, and I would never ever ever eat it. For £3.50 I can buy quite a lot of food that I am actually willing to consume.

Instead, I entered the product from my British Food site that scares me the most. You’d think that would be Marmite, but it’s hard to see how bad Marmite is without tasting it. No, the one that frightens me the most is the hot dogs in a can.

Today Tracy announced the winners of the scary product contest, and it was me! Hooray! British hot dogs are the scariest product her readers could find. Although the placenta shampoo is pretty darned creepy too.
