2010's 7 Worst Food Creations
2010 was an eventful year in food--the McRib came back to McDonald's menu, the worlds largest gummy worm was made, Chipotle announced it would be creating a sister-franchise restaurant featuring Asian cuisine and the twinkie diet went viral. The year also brought us unnecessary food creations; each with their own success rate.
Below are the top 7 Worst Food creations of the year:
1. Burger King's Pizza Burger
If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Pizza and burgers were fine just the way they were until Burger King decided to see what their wonder child would be like. What do you get when a burger procreates with pizza? A 9.5 inch bun with a pound of Whopper patties topped with mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce and herb mayo. 2. Lasagna Sandwich
This prepackaged lasagne sandwich can be easily described as "Atkin's worst nightmare" consisting of "two thick slices of bread and a filling of dice beef in a tomato and herb sauce layered with cooked pasta sheets and a creamy cheddar, ricotta, and mayonnaise dressing." Don't get me wrong, I LOVE lasagna. But I hate the idea of lasagna sandwich--why not eat the pasta? A friend of mine living in Europe got his hands on this and told me the concoction, that is equal in fat to two cheeseburgers at McDonald's, made him lose his appetite for a little over a day. 3. KFC's Double Down
In 2010, the mastermind's at KFC decided that what Americans REALLY need is bacon and cheese sandwiched between two pieces of fried chicken for a whopping 540 Calorie meal. Chickens and clogged arteries around the world shrieked with fear after KFC announced that the limited-time sandwich would remain on their menu as long as customers want it--and customers did want it as KFC sold more than 10 million sandwiches in less than 3 months!
4. Deep Fried Beer
Mark Zabel, inventor of deep-fried Texas treats, introduced this ravioli-esque creation consisting of pretzel-like dough filled with old fashioned beer. In Zabel's defense, this was submitted for a competition to a competition. This patent-pending treat lost in the fair--I guess Homer Simpson wasn't one of the judges.
5. Bacon Soda
I'm not a guy, so maybe I just don't understand. But this creation made me ask, "WHY?" This beverage was conceived by J&D Foods, who specializes in bacon-centric products; and Jones Soda, an independent bottler popular for it's Turkey and Gravy flavor.
6. Candwich
The Candwich is a what the name suggests--a sandwich in a can with a candy surprise in the can. It currently comes in three flavors (PB & Strawberry Jam, PB & Grape Jam and BBQ Chicken) and the makers are working on Pepperoni Pizza and French Toast. Why would anyone need this? I have no idea. How good does it taste? Read for yourself.
7. Breast Milk Cheese
Earlier this year, Chef Daniel Angerer made breast milk cheese after his wife was producing too much milk. The chef claimed that his phone was off the hook with inquiries and requests to try the cheese. I, for one, don't believe that.
Clearly, the list is subjective. What do you think? Are these the worst or do you like some of these?

number 3 looks so good, have to try
I would try breast milk cheese! Also fried beer sounds delicious; don't hate!
Wait did you actually try any of these? Until you try them, no judging!
@LupusInvictus@xanga - PS, a homemade pizza burger is not much different than sloppy joes.
That burger pizza looks like a way people can convince themselves eating 6 burgers is absolutely fine.
And hey, it takes a whole minute to make a pb&j sandwich. Canned is much simpler. Now, where the hell did I put that can opener..?
i always wanted to try #3 :)
@LupusInvictus@xanga - I've tried all but the lasagna sandwich and breast milk cheese! In defense of the fried beer, mine was made by a friend so it *could* have been his cooking.
@RaVnR@xanga - Hats off to you for being willing to try breast milk cheese! I tried fried beer, wasn't my thing--but maybe you'll like it :)
I went to the fair but didn't try the fried beer. Everyone that I heard that tried it said it was gross. Warm beer? Nasty. The fried frito pie was the best there.
The Double Down never appealed to me. Too much meat. I don't understand why there was a huge deal about it though. It had about the amount of calories as any other fast food meal. The doublicious, on the other hand, is awesome. But it's pretty much just a chicken sandwich.Unfortunately, the thought of them actually being produced turns my stomach. Though as a self-respecting man, I have to endorse the Double Down. It's a heart attack waiting to happen to be sure, but it's rank on the epic scale outranks the shortened life span.
I never tried the KFC Double Down :( now its gone
It was only in Canada for a limited time
I heard about 3 and 6. Number 1 sounds wasteful. The fried beer and the lasagna thing sound gross. O_o
i might possibly TRY the first three.. although i'd probably not consider eating them every single day.. they're worth trying!
I have a friend that eats those double downs all the time, I couldn't ever do it, one, look at that thing, two, it stinks, if you have ever smelled one. I keep telling him, man, in ten years you will be one huge fat ass.
haha@the boobiecheese
does that mean they still do the burger pizza? O_O
Not only is the fat content of the Doubledown scary, but also the sodium content. I read that it contains about two days worth of the recommended daily sodium intake for an adult. I can feel my blood pressure rising just looking at it!
Or maybe it was just one whole days worth of sodium. Either way, too much!
@Persiankitty@xanga - Trying it once isn't going to do any lasting damage, though.
wow-I think i'm gonna pass on all of those foods. Who is gonna drink a candwich????
These all look absolutely atrocious. Bacon soda? Something's seriously wrong. Bacon and cheese sandwiched between two slabs of fried chicken? America, on its merry way to heart disease perdition. J&D Foods also makes Baconnaise, which is just mayonnaise flavored with bacon; something Jon Stewart described as being for "people who want heart disease, but are too lazy to cook the bacon."
I think it's kinda weird that people would think breastmilk is gross and cow's milk isn't. Isn't it kinda gross that we're drinking milk for another species baby? I like milk myself, but if you think about it, it's kinda weird.
I've tried the Double Down, and I love it. The Pizza burger sounds interesting, if you leave off the mayo. The other items don't sound all that appetizing to me.
The first 3 didn't sound that bad, but the rest were just ugh sounding.
1, 2, 3 look DELICIOUS.
