World's 9 Worst Convenience Foods

9. Post Oreo O's (Kraft Foods, Inc): A substance, supposedly a breakfast cereal, patterned after the notorious Oreo cookie. Oreo O's look exactly like used cat litter. They smell and taste so bad my dog won't eat them. Put milk on Oreo O's and you have a bowl of something that looks like oily refried beans. If Kraft had deliberately set out to make the  foulest cereal possible, they could not have exceeded the putridity of Oreo O's.

8. Meeter's Kraut Juice (Stokely USA): Yes, that's sauerkraut juice, which is even worse than it sounds. The taste and smell can be a bit, well, harsh, but KJ is reputed by its fans to have certain medicinal benefits (as a source of vitamin C, cure for intestinal  bugs, etc.), which adds up to a classic case of the cure being worse   than the disease.

7. Guycan Corned Mutton with Juices Added (Bedessee Imports): The best  thing about this Uruguayan canned good is the very pouty-looking sheep on the package label -- he seems to be saying, "Go on, eat me already." The second-best thing is the presence of both "cooked  mutton" and "mutton" in the ingredients listing, which would seem to  have all the mutton bases covered.

6. Armour Pork Brains in Milk Gravy (Dial Corp.): If you're really looking to clog up those arteries in a hurry, you'll be pleased to  learn that a single serving of pork brains has 1,170 percent of our  recommended daily cholesterol intake. All the more ingenious, then, that the label on this product helpfully features a recipe for brains and scrambled eggs.

This is actually true and has been known for some time that cabbage juice, i think it was something like a quart a day over 4-6 weeks, will actually heal ulcers.  I have taken cabbage juice, I made it fresh, and it is bloody awful stuff but it works.  Purple cabbage is slightly less offensive than green cabbage, and is supposed to be higher in other nutrients but I kind of forget about all that.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

And all can be found in your local 7-11 from hell.  Overpriced and out-of-date-code, of course.

Rye, kraut juice, and soda makes for a great highball.  Easy on the kraut juice - I go with 2 jiggers of Jim Beam Rye, 1/4 jigger kraut juice, poured over ice and topped off with soda (or ginger ale if you prefer).

Of course, I just use the leftover brine from sauerkraut - I've never even seen the brine itself sold anywhere.
