My man got a package of those Magic Honeydew Cheese curls just to see what they tasted like. I tried one and they were NASTY, NASTY, NASTY! Truly the definition of:
I remember seeing those chips, haven't seen them in awhile.
Upon looking online, I came across something unrelated, but perhaps if these were hanging out next to the shoyu peanuts and stale Rocky Road's, they would put them in the Romeo bag:
Even back then I thought, Who the hell is buying this shit?
Obviously not enough people, seeing how many thousand unopened packages are for sale on eBay - but the funny thing is, just like real records, there must be some that are harder to find, the most popular of the lesser produced titles, while the lame stuff that nobody wanted (how many kids were buying Charlie Daniels Band) is readily available still sealed.
Somewhere out there is an uber-nerd saying, "yeah, I collect records...BUBBLEGUM RECORDS! Check out my multiple sealed THE CLASH - GIVE 'EM ENOUGH ROPE's ... 2 with unbroken gum disc!"
Bubble gum as a treat is one thing, but where are these snacks being marketed?
Go ahead and call the race card on this one, but these products are ending up in the little corner stores of the worst hoods in this country. (ghetto food) if you will.
If Frito Lay came out with some shit like this, people would be calling for the heads of Frito Lays Execs on a platter for letting this obviously "ghetto marketing"
You and I both know that poor kids in the hood more often then not, make a meal out of the same type of crap, only by a diffrent maker. (frito lay)
Look at the flavors for god sake, Honey BBQ, Spicy, sound simular to another ghetto marketer??..... namely KFC?
Dont look at me like that....you know as well as I do, some of KFC ads are geared towards whites, (i.e.the Chicken snakers or the pot pies), but then theres the Yo yo yo home boy type chicken wing ads they run.
Tell me thats not a form of selective advertising.
Ive said my peace, and these things are so very very sad. and STILL
What I wanna know is, who created Honeydew Cheese Curls?!
Exactly, and what does that shit taste like? Does anyone really eat a honeydew melon with powered cheese? Unusual gourmet reaction like vinegar and ice cream?
Recently Snoop Dogg announced the Snooperbowl, inspiring a Riff Raff-penned history of the link between rapping and sports. Now the Dogg is back with a brand new hot dog line--foot-long weiners called "Snoop Doggs."
Snoop takes advantage of everything,??????? his manager said. ???????This rap money isn????????t long. Just ask MC Hammer.???????
Rappers have a history of food tie-ins, most notably the Rap Snacks brand of potato chips. Each style of chip coincides with each sponsoring rapper's personality. For instance, Youngbloodz are Southern Crunk Barbeque, Master P is Platinum Bar-B-Que, and Lil Romeo is Bar-B-Que with Honey.
Now other rappers are looking to get in the kitchen, and over the last few months several of them have tried to develop their own food products, with varying success. Here are a few:
Young Jeezsteak: Your favorite trapper's favorite trapper now wants a piece of the Philly sandwich game. Reportedly tastier than a regular cheesesteak, for now the sandwich has been postponed until the rapper's lawyers can secure a patent for the sandwich's key ingredient, Jeez-Whiz.
Notorious B.L.T.: Sandwich designers Rob Drubbin and Tim Hobey decided they wanted to honor the late Brooklyn rapper, but struggled as to how, exactly, a B.L.T. could be notorious. Should it be spicy? Should it have a pimp inside? Drubbin and Hobey decided that the "T" of B.L.T. would stand for "Tricks," the trick being that the sandwich is made entirely of E. coli.
Peanut Butter Wolf: The Stones Throw don decided to commemorate himself with a special "run" of Peanut Butter Wolves, which are just regular wolves covered in peanut butter and pretty angry in general.
Jam'Ron: Killa Cam's response to the Stones Throw threat, Jam'Ron is a grape-flavored jelly that protects you from the threat of peanut butter wolves. When the wolf smells the jelly, it immediately becomes sedate, giving you enough time to kick the wolf in the face and use its fur for a delicious sandwich.
40 Cal Fruit Snacks: The Dipset understudy had planned to make a snack that would net a mere 40 calories per bag--but that meant only one-half a fruit snack per bag. Currently 40 Cal is in negotiations to change his name to 1223 Cal.
Inspectah Sandwich: While not a food item per se, Wu-Tang rapper Inspectah Deck used to tell grocery clerks around Staten Island that his real name was Inspectah Sandwich, and he needed to "inspect" their sandwiches by eating them.
The Food: What a shame it is that 50 Cent has indefinitely delayed the debut of this scrumptious something-or-other as designed by Black Wall Street rapper, the Game.
Masta Grilla: For a while Wu-Tang's Masta Killa tried to sell his own version of the George Foreman grille, which was basically a regular Foreman grille with the serial numbers scratched out.
Mobb Beef: Until G-Unit, things were going so bad for the once-legendary duo that they had planned to sell ground beef made exclusively from their own flesh.
Snack Bundles: The mixtape star Stack Bundles tried to get in the food game two years ago, and succeeded, but nobody ever bought the food because the factory had accidentally printed the product description "bundle of snacks" as "bundle of snakes."
Ying Yang Twinkies: Hostess Cakes liked the idea of Ying Yang Twins-branded twinkies at first, but quickly reneged after the Twins demanded the cakes "whisper" sexually transmitted diseases.
1 July 2001, Newark (NJ) Star-Ledger, pg. 1: In Newark, the Outsidaz have tried to make a difference, converting a former crack house into the Outhouse and opening their own ice cream parlor on Springfield Avenue, called "Outrageous Flavors." (The flavors have names such as "Redman's Redrum Raisin" and "Angie Martinez' Butter Pecan Rican.") They're also planning to unveil a Springfield Avenue candy store called Sweets.

This is an outrage. As if crack wasn't bad enough, now these rappers are giving the community cavities. What next are they going to start handing out scissors for the kids to run with?

I know what you mean dude. I was at the supermarket the other day & they had special markings on Kosher products. That schitt is discrimination. I'mma sue those guys who make matzos for racial profiling.
DAMN i need that Billy Joel schitttt! I don't remember these things... are they from like the mid 90s or so? I have digger's nightmares about most of those album covers

Race isnt the issue here, I know , I know..you made a funny, But fer real, its not a race thing.
Its about selling crap to people that dont get regular meals in the first place, Namely kids in poor hoods of America. I doubt youll see a 20 or 30 year old walking around with a bag of Mack 10 Killa BBQ spud joints, but teenagers and little ones...you know youll see that.

Does anybody besides me find "The Outhouse" to be a less-than-appetizing name?

Garbage food for kids and youngins with the face of Rap as a selling point?
Shit....... I was afraid of this, Its real.
This remides me of that Simsons Ep where bart goes to fat camp from eatting to many Scammer $ Z-dog snacks.
see what they tasted like. I tried one and they were NASTY, NASTY, NASTY!
Truly the definition of:
Whatcha getting all steamed about?
It says "Stay In School" doesn't it?
Seriously, though - nothing new about this shit...
haven't you ever heard of CHU-BOPS bubblegum:
Holy crap I totally forgot about those!
Even back then I thought, Who the hell is buying this shit?

Me and Kid Koala, basically. Who didn't want record shaped gum? Okay, maybe just me and Kid Koala...
For the extra nerdy, a Chu-Bops checklist:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/allender/chubops.htm
Those were my shit. I wanna eat the Crystal Gayle record.
Check these out:
On The Go did a thing about these joints like back in the 90s.
I Googled "X Chips" but didn't find them. Anyone ever eat the Malcolm X chips? They were interesting.
Ketchup flavor?
No i definitely have enjoyed rap snacks for years. wise intelligent does it real big with that shit.
I was hoping people could point me in the direction of similarly rap inspired food.

they're just chips, dude. You want to see sad, go check the Father MC thread.

That shit is so sad, like when they get to talking about Puffy and Mary J and the look in dude's face is like "Shit, how did I fuck this all up?"
Heres some.

Riff Raff Exclusive: Upcoming Rapper Food Products
Recently Snoop Dogg announced the Snooperbowl, inspiring a Riff Raff-penned history of the link between rapping and sports. Now the Dogg is back with a brand new hot dog line--foot-long weiners called "Snoop Doggs."
