the chocolate wins.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Those egg rolls better be the shit

[Mikey]

They are magnifico. Do you think I would dirty up 2 frying pans, 3 pots, a half dozen plates, the entire kitchen, plus slave away with the boiling, chopping, mixing, tossing, rolling, dipping, and deep frying if they weren't? I'm way too lazy for that kind of shit.

And one batch is like 100 mini egg rolls. I'm serving it with chicken and shrimp here - everyone I know just eats the egg rolls as their entree.

[Angle]

Right now, Mike's my choice to win this whole thing

You and me Dead, you and me.

New Coke would swing 3 or 4 of the first round matchups for me. If Brad had New Coke, rather than Vergina, I'm taking him over Fishy. New Coke was the fucking shit.

I can't vote against myself here though. Gotta pass on the New Coke if broccoli and fucking OCTOPUS is also on the menu.

[Lucky]

I really don't remember New Coke beyond its rep and after reading Wiki I know know why. I was 5 when it came out. I definitely remember at some point in my life deciding I preferred "Classic Coke" but I have no real memory of what "New Coke" tasted like.

But even if I loved it Blitz' meal is very underwhelming. I had my first Big Mac sometime last year and was very disappointed. Broccoli's a fine vegetable but there's no proper meal with it. I've actually largely abandoned salt as anything but a cooking ingredient in general efforts to improve my health. And raw octupus just sounds more disgusting than Moose's meal.

Mike's meal doesn't have anything I know I'd like as I'm not really a shrimp or egg roll guy and a lot of the meal is based on chocolate and sweets, but its definitely the meal I rather try.

Went to the World of Coke in Atlanta back in '94. One of the rooms there was a soda fountain in which you put your cup under the dispenser and the "soda" shoots like a garden hose from about 15 feet in the air in an arc down to the dispenser, where it then "comes out." Anyway, they had the renamed "Coke II" there, and I must've drank 24 of them before we left that area.

It was like Classic on steroids. I can understand why people didn't like it - what I don't understand is why they didn't run them as parallel products.

[Lucky]

Didn't they run it parallel for awhile as Coke II? I definitely remember it existing for awhile and may making a choice. Which would have had to mean it lasted long enough for me to be outing buying soda that rotted my teeth away from my parents after school or whatever. But I definitely remember it being an option.

But "Classic on steroids" may explain why I didn't care for it. The reason I've always chosen Coke over Pepsi is Pepsi tastes like "too much" to me whether that's sweet or kick or I don't know. But that probably explains why I didn't want a stronger Coke.

[Chris Eco]

I eat Blitz's meal regularly. But I love me some egg rolls.

[creepy]

Unless it's in cooked food, I never touch salt. I'm actually kinda healthy for it, too. I don't drink sodas. I don't eat fast food unless it's mexican. LITs give me heartburn. A bad case of it. Chocolate martinis just scream "flaming douchebag" to me. Octopus? I like broccoli. But the egg rolls and hibachi stuff would be awesome. I'd just fill up on that stuff untill I couldn't eat anymore.


Short version: Mike

[Batman]

I'll never understand the appeal of the Big Mac. Why would you want an extra bun on a burger? Why would you want thousand island dressing on a burger?

Obviously, I voted Mike.

[Byrntrigan]

I love me Chinese food. Mikey all the way. But if Blitz had MSG with the salt, it'd be winna winna chicken dinna.

[Habs]

Mike. It sounds like an awesome meal!
