-
- "Testing Potted Meat Food Products and Other Scary Foods"
- By Dave Barry
-
- It the article He and His expert panel test various kinds of food. After
- preparing the panel, they come up with a list of food test subjects:
-
- - Armour Potted Meat Food Product
- - Libby's Potted Meat Food Product (with two kinds of stomach)
- - A can of Spam
- - A can of Mighty Dog brand dog food
- - A can of Bonton brand "natural" snails
- - A can of something called "Beanee Weenees"
-
- Dave describes it best with the following excerpt:
-
- "For the Taste Test, we offered the various food products to
- a five-member Expert Taste Panel, consisting of me; my wife, Beth;
- our son, Robert; our large main dog, Earnest; and our small emergency
- backup dog, Zippy."
- "Earnest licked everything a LOT and continued to lick the floor
- for several minutes after all detectable food molecules had disappeared.
- Zippy got so excited about the sudden unforeseen onslaught of food
- products that he had a little accident product in the kitchen."
-
- I'm not making this up either (BOLDFACE and all)!
