Pimp My Snack (food made bigger and better)

  • "It doesn't get any better than this." well, as a matter of fact, yes it does. :-\
  • The wagon wheel was pretty neat. The others... not so much.
  • Why does "Pimp my ..." mean "make it bigger"?
  • Those poor Poms. They are so polluted by Yankspeak.
  • Now I'm hungry.
  • It looks like they're getting more skilled as they go, maybe. The wagon wheel reminded me of Moon Pies. Now I want a Moon Pie.
  • I find that my snacks are fairly tasty, even unpimped.
  • meredithea, on Sunday I saw RC Cola at the local market for the first time in years, and wanted a Moon Pie too. Moon Pies & RC Colas
  • RC Cola is really common in Chicago and it's priced to be a premium soda. I was quite pleased when traveling recently to find that in parts of the plain states that it was priced as a discount beverage. $1.29 for Coke, my preferred cola, and $.79 for RC which is my second choice. Pepsi is of course somewhere down the list near carbonated snake venom and August vintage dumpster juice. I did like the use of an iPod for size comparison though, but most of the pimping was quite uninspired. The one on pot noodles looks like a common meal in this house hold.
  • I don't think the people behind that nashville.about.com page on moon pies have seen the site in Firefox 1.5 lately...
  • These ideas are only appealing if you're stoned, which I'm not.
  • Seeing that giant Cadbury egg made me want to puke. I hate those things.
  • This link is stolen from the Mefi thread of the same topic, and is kinda fun.
  • Holy CRAB! Ahh, I'm engulfed in a strange mixture of disgust and food lust... mmmhh, crab.
  • My SNACK bettah have my money. Not some, but ALL o' my cash. *pimpslaps a honeybun*
  • I do understand why y'all aren't super-impressed here - particular ly the creme egg, which is a bit naff and isn't really a creme egg what with the yolk and white all pre-scrambled. Nonetheless: I am entirely enamoured of people who commit themselves to ridiculous projects for no reason but personal amusement. This reminds me of the Lego Suicides (not quite the same level of areal achievement, but I laughed). Bravo, random Brits. Plus, mades me nostalgic for Tescos (I have an odd love for grocery shopping in foreign countries; an insight into domestic life.)(I'm putting too much thought into this aren't I).
  • Maybe it's too UK-centric, but I thought this was a great link. Mmmmmm, giant food...
  • Koko Not only are they appealing to the stoned, they seem like entirely too much work for a stoner.... bravo stoned-yet-focused-and-motivated-Brits!
  • I'd hate to see the kitchen after one of those projects.
  • I'd hate to see the bathroom. (Sorry, the "bog".)
  • Ha ha! The bog! Never gonna call it anything else.
  • Well. I just got back from a very pleasant evening in the pub, and because my local chip shop was closing, I got chips, a saveloy, and a steak and kidney pie, all for the price of the pie. Supersized or pimped or whatever, I'm quite pleased.
  • Excellent. Nothing better than a nice nosh-up after a few bevvies.
  • *prefers to unpimp*
  • Monkeyfilter: nosh-up, bevvies and bog.
  • MonkeyFilter: Not only are they appealing to the stoned, they seem like entirely too much work for a stoner...
  • Chyren: so true. Except, possibly, a few more bevvies.
  • I bet real pimps are pist off coz their pimpness has been so appropiated, like, now they gotta offer up the white or dark chocolate, in either human or culinary form...hmmmmmmmmm, a matter of taste i guess...
