View Full Version : MrAngryFace Vending Machine Taste Test

There was a lull at work today, so I made my way to the train of vending machines looking for a tasty treat.

I got a lot of ones back when I paid for my breakfast so money was not an obstacle.

I surveyed what was left to choose from. Crystal Creek cheeseburger. Yum I thought. I noticed a drawing of a lady on the front smiling. The art was in the style of the 60s soda pop shop, or maybe it was from the 60s. Who is to say. I put im my 1.10 and pressed enter.

I knew it wouldnt be enough, so I picked my side dish. Two jimmy dean sausage biscuits. Delicious. My mouth was watering as I entered the 1.10 and pressed enter. Jimmy Dean micowavable breakfast treats are well known for their quality and flavor.

I unwrapped the burger and looked inside the cardboard carton is was nestled in. Frozen bread with frozen onions, cheese (?) and some hamburger (?) was staring me in the face. Gray is a weird color for meat, but I assumed the natural juices of the meat would cook it to the correct color.

However the microwave foodstuffs lacked instructions, so I guessed a minute and shoved it in the microwave. I pulled it out and to my disappointment the meat had not changed color. I put it back in for 20 seconds and said a prayer.

I gave up the second time and decided to eat it. I must say the texture of this treat was an exploration of senses I hadnt visted before, and probably won't visit ever again. Somehow the Crystal Creek Microwave Hamurger Company had reproduced the experience of eating a corpse.

I ran my tongue over my teeth trying to cleanse my pallet for the second round. Surely Jimmy Dean could deliver me from this mistake and provide the delicious game-breaking home run required to enjoy the rest of my day.

Ding.

I reached in and pulled out my minature sausage biscuits which were no doubt fortified with the spit and vinegar that fuels football teams of the mid-west. I took a bite at the edge and the biscuit crumbled in my mouth as if I had placed a cat turd found in a litter box in its place. The grease of the sausage made the entire experience a little weird.

The value in this selection is that I had two sausage biscuits, one cooked more than enough, the other not at all. From the greasy dried biscuit I made a quick journey to the land of frozen bread and grease. I dont think there is anything, save what can be provided by the fine folks at Crystal Creek that can be compared to the curious gift Jimmy Dean had given me this day.

The Tony Roma's "rib" "sandwich" (I separated the quotes because what I received was essentially a barbecue sauce filled Twinkie) was not exactly the fine cuisine I'd hoped for, especially at the ritzy price of $3.00!

For that same $3.00 you could have a delicious healthy, caloric beverage at your favorite beverage company.

Yes, but my curiosity wouldn't have been satisfied. At ALL.

The microwave probably defaults to "high" and that's the worst way to nuke frozen food.

Eating meat (not in jerky form) from a vending machine/carousel is disgusting to me.

Men have died on this soil so I can attempt to enjoy month old hamburgers taken from a large metal box.

I just ate a three day old donut because it was left out in the break room.

It was a little stale.

Just wait until you spend some time on the porcelain throne passing on your curious gift...

There once was a time that I ate things out of curiosity. Flowers, old food, Burger King. The month-old Marie Calendar's apple pie followed by 16 hours of agony and no bodily fluids ended those times rather quickly. Now the only things I keep past a week in my fridge are things in vinegar or 10% preservatives.

You ate Flowers? How'd he taste?

Those Jimmy Dean biscuits are some of the most horrible things I've ever tasted. The biscuits have a texture that's akin to chewing on cotton and an odd taste that's sort of reminiscent of licking cardboard. I get repulsed even smelling them.

Just like you've been imagining all this time.

Kind of fruity and fulla shit, wrapped around a hard, pus-y core? Gross.

I had the opportunity to try a lot of different frozen meals this past summer while temporarily setting up shop in the Mojave. Military PX's stock an unusual assortment of frozen goods. Top marks (of the litter) were given to Red Baron Supreme Pizzas and White Castle Cheeseburger Minisliders. Both, of course, were revolting in comparison to the sumptuous banquet that is Lean Cuisine and its newer Panini's and pizzas. But, man, did they hit the spot at the time.

That's the problem... they put the most powerful microwaves on the planet next to these machines. So even if these things can retain some kind of foodish form, you'll never find out with the nuclear ovens that they supply for you to cook them in.

Ever wonder what happens when you microwave a couple of rats?

Mmmm, rat on a stick!

Carry on.
