Nasty-pops
Layered Lollipops that taste like EVERYTHING | |
The jellybeans that taste like all kinds of
things are just taking it all right now...
but
the tastes are so.... fleeting? Plus, you
get
only one flavor in each bean, although
you
have a bean identification chart on the
bag... goodie for you.
Enter the [haven't named it yet] lollipop.
The core is something more delightful,
so
as to leave the consumer with a not so
hindering taste, for repeat business.
Over
the core, is then added layer upon layer
of
different flavors from chili peppers, to
chicken, oatmeal and brownsugar,
meatballs, fruits, vegetables, onion, fish,
old pants, naval lint (the nasty kind),
burnt
rubber, grass, insects, liver, codfish,
mint,
soda, horse hair, old tire air, gypsum,
toothpaste, paper, peanutbutter,
yougetthepoint.
Label them according to taste
combinations: No worries sweet cherries.
Take a chance, eat your pants. Reduced
to
reuse by recycling. Can you handle the
heat? Before you try it, find a nice corner
to vomit in. Warning, read ingredients
AFTER consumption. Are you on drugs?
And many other flavorful titles for
different flavor combinations.
Boy i had fun just thinking about them.

The psychopaths create a healthy balance
on HB in my opinion, and i'm not admitting
that I am a psychopath, because if I did, I
would know that I am definitely NOT a
psychopath, which I do not know yet. |

put the everything bagel on a stick |
|
| |
Q: If it tasted of everything, what *would* it taste like? |
|
| |
I doubt my wife would every try any of
these lollipops, but i've got a whole bunch
of friends always lookin' for somethin'
new. New flavors not excluded, and who
can decline when it's FDA approved? |
|
| |
I believe that the audience for a product
like this is larger than you think. |
|
| |
[marked-for-deletion] flavor. |
|
| |
This isn't a flavor or recipe. Should not be deleted. |
|
| |
It's more than flavor, it's the
implementation of flavors, in different
levels, that you hit when you suck on it. It
is also the naming of it. You just think it's
only flavors because that's what yells at
you in the description. |
|
| |
[Galbinus]and [twitch], I suggest you revisit the help file. To quote "flavor - the poster would like something that already comes in a number of flavors to come in another flavor". I don't think this idea is exempt from the [m-f-d] simply because it suggests the something (lollypops) should come in ALL flavours. That's just semantics. |
|
| |
Good try, though. It was food for thought. |
|
| |
Also, Harry Potter. Therefore "magic". |
|
| |
twitch, feel free to delete the bogus marked-for-deletion tags and the comments on them, including this one. Galbinus_Caeli is correct. |
|
| |
[jutta], excuse me, but I'm confused. My first anno was in support of the [m-f-d] flavour, citing the fact that the idea is still simply suggesting "another" flavour. I understand twitch's insistence that is not "a flavour" because it encompasses ALL flavours but, in my opinion, that is not sufficient to preclude it from the {m-f-d]. It is merely one person's interpretation of the wording of the help file rather than its intent. |
|
| |
In other words, I think [nuclear hobo] is correct. |
|
| |
Having said that, though, the pedant in me wonders if twitch's "Self-ex-planetary" is really that far off the mark? |
|
| |
It's out of this world! Ahem. |
|
| |
The post is an idea for a very multi-layered lollipop. The specific flavors aren't important; the important bit is the entertainment derived from guessing at and enjoying a very large sequence of different flavors as the eater licks off sequential layers of the same lollipop. |
|
| |
// I understand twitch's insistence that is not "a flavour" because it encompasses ALL flavours but, in my opinion, that is not sufficient to preclude it from the {m-f-d]. |
|
| |
If all I knew were your restatement - if it were just one mix of flavors and the poster is deluded into thinking that it somehow means "all" - I'd share your assessment, but the layering makes the eating experience structurally different. |
|
| |
I refute the flavor-centric arguements.
Yes, food is a lot about flavor, but the
experience is what I am after. Say we
put
in a layer of glucose laden with some
snake-bite remedy, that's instant vomit
right there. Its the thrill of the ride, As
well as a marketing strategy I outlined,
It
has a ben-and-jerry's tone, just a lot
more
extreme. |
|
| |
But honestly.. Would NOBODY here try
one of these lollipops? maybe one of
the more mildly flavored ones? I swear
they would all be edible, even if a few
layers were gooey, and some layers had
bits of chicken bone. |
|
| |
Q: If it tasted of everything, what *would* it taste like? |
|
| |
I would have suggested phrasing this as being the lollipop equivalent of an onion. It probably wouln't have been any more successful, but it would have been more entertaining to read. |
|
| |
I admit that the title is not spectacular, but
my description is, for me, worlderfully put.
It puts flavor in them words, and makes
me chuckle uncontrollably whenever I read
it over and over and over again. There is
only a thin line between genius and crazy. |
|
| |
[[[ i've changed the title to "nasty-pops"...
seemed appropriate. |
|
| |
I was always told that success was the difference between genius and crazy. |
|
| |
[skinflaps], according to google everything tastes like chicken. Happy now? |
|
| |
My guess is it tastes like everything. |
|
| |
At least everything that has a flavour. |
|
| |
"Nasty-pops" doesn't quite make me want to run out and buy some, should I ever feel so inclined, or desperate. How about "Mystery Pops"? Damn! Already taken! OK, then let's try "Surprise Pops". Holy Cow! That's been used, too! "Omni-Pops" seems to be available and is certainly truthful in its description. You could bend Frito Lay's slogan to say "bet you can't even finish one!" |
|
| |
Nice. A lollipop that does with flavour what a gobstopper does with colour. + |
|
| |
You can't mfd something based on flavour surely (although maybe for using the US spelling 'flavor'). |
|
| |
If someone had posted jelly beans on here (assuming they weren't baked) they would have been mfd'd. |
|
| |
but there are lollipops with at least three flavors already and what about Tootsie Pops where under the hard candy layer there is a soft Tootsie Roll? Isn't that similar? |
|
| |
yes, similar to other candies, but what
it's
not just flavors, it's the experience. |
|
| |
For instance, would adding bits of
chicken
bone be only a flavor concoction? or a
new
formula for success, flavor, texture,
after
taste, vomit appeal, all these lines are
little
blurry in this idea I admit, but
concoctions
this extreme can't be relegated to being
just flavors. |
|
| |
And it's still not totally about the flavors
anyway. I mention flavors because this
is an edible thing, it's food, how do I
not mention flavor? It's part of the
experience, but not the whole of the
idea. |
|
| |
I would love to try this. Can you have a "map" that tells you what layers are what? You know, like when you compare Jelly Bellies on that little plastic card and can't tell the difference between watermelon and jalapeno. |
