We missed you guys last week, but we had some glitches that had to be fixed first, but we’re back this week with even more crazy food stories from around the country and the world!
Steal Food? Instant Karma!
In Odessa, Texas, a local pharmacy, Sunflower Rx posted a really funny comeback when it discovered that a teenager availed of a five-finger discount for the world’s hottest gummy bear. According to the store, the teenager walked out of the store, and a few minutes later, ran inside and grabbed a cold drink before rolling over the floor grabbing his stomach in pain.
Although the store wasn’t pointing any fingers, it was found out later that a packed to Lil’ Nitro, The World’s Hottest Gummy Bear went missing and we all probably know where it went!
The store went on to post a very cheeky response and all we can say that it’s GOLD.
Wait, Texas Pete Hot Sauce isn’t Texan?
Texas Pete Hot Sauce is now facing a lawsuit because it’s not made in The Lone Star State, despite the name. A Los Angeles man has filed a class-action lawsuit against TW Garner Food Co for false advertisement. Well, in a way… he is right. I mean, with a name like Texas Pete, one would assume that the hot sauce, at the very least contain some elements of Texas, maybe ingredients or at least the recipe right? Wrong.
Well suffice to say, Texas Pete, which is from North Carolina, is in for a Texas-sized mess if this case pushes through.

Artisanal Pizza Baked in a… Volcano?
We all know that great Neapolitan (and most artisanal pizzas) are baked in ovens that have insanely high temperatures but in San Vicente Pacaya, Guatemala, an enterprising pizzaiolo is taking it to the next level by baking his pizzas in a volcano cave! Yep, an actual cave in an actual volcano.
I don’t know about the temperature control in that cave but one thing’s for sure, you won’t end up with an undercooked pizza! In all seriousness, it’s actually a good idea and nothing beats a pizza after a long hike! Props to David Garcia for coming up with the idea! You can enjoy the pizza while sitting on a lava rock made chair to complete the experience of watching a volcano while eating your volcano-baked pizza.

Mexican Caviar Anyone?
So previously we talked about bugs being the future of food, now we have another strange food item, and this time, it’s Mexican Caviar! While everyone knows that Rocky Mountain Oysters aren’t oysters at all, well, Mexican Caviar isn’t actually caviar! For thousands of years, ‘food of the Gods’ or Ahuautle has been also known as Mexican Caviar.
Mexican Caviar is… well.. bug eggs. Don’t let that gross you out though! They’re usually serves as croquettes and fried in hot oil. There are some Mexican restaurants that have them on the menu and people who love them say that the flavor is exquisite! I actually want to try some myself!

Will a Meatless Filet Mignon Work?
So, Juicy Marbles has apparently made a meatless Filet Mignon. Yep, not ground beef or nuggets or anything that will mask the “truth’ of the kind of meat. Whole cuts of meats have always been the most difficult to make because of the nature of meat but if this venture by Juicy Marbles is as good as they say it is… I’d be willing to give it a try.
