It's just like the old gypsy woman said.

You know that feeling you get when you're about to cork a bottle of cheap Korbel? That's what I was feeling here. But Ashens and I have the exact same corking gizmo! But throw that away too if you drink wine! Shit, you can have mine. I hate wine.

Not saying he should try these though. I like you ashens. Shit now I've gotta watch the video.

Bottle conditioned beer actually improves with age, like wine. Force carbonated beer just gets skunky or the hops break down and it tastes lifeless/flabby.

Yeah, this was Miller High Life, so it was definitely the latter. But I thought I was going to get sick or die or something.. panicking and looking it up online the next day. But I still drank the whole thing since I didn't want to waste my two bucks and panicked later.

The worst was some bar back in Milwaukee Wisconsin who had a certain microbrew on tap that had a sludge similar to this. There was some sort of sediment in it that sank to the bottom that I tried to avoid, the way you avoid the gelatin in bubble tea when drinking it without a straw. :)

That was my first thought when I started watching the video, that the olives might still resemble olives and be marginally edible.

I guess the brine got contaminated with sea water or something.

I always thought that deli boss guy was full of shit, but I assume a lot of sea life is preserved pretty well, and the fish you're eating raw could very well be older than these olives!

I think the oldest thing I ate was some sauerkraut when I was at my parents house one christmas, this must've been 2006 or so, and the expiry date said 1998, which means it was probably opened in 1994 or so. Tasted like any other sauerkraut really, and I was fine until I checked the date thereby producing an illness that I think was just psychosomatic.

When I was a teenager, I used to mix up a bunch of every food ingredient from around the house, put it into a bottle, and then leave it sitting around forever until we popped it open for the ultimate stink bomb. I think the longest one was about 18 months, where the cap shot off the instant the volunteer loostened it, with enough force that it hurt his hand.

I have this weird extreme empathy thing. I don't ever kill any insects (except things that actively bite like mosquitoes), and my main reaction to this video is imagining some poor anthropomorphic olives sitting in a bottle for 130 years yearning to be free as they rot into sludge, praying for the day when erosion finally breaks down the glass and sets them free.

Is that weird? I blame watching The Brave Little Toaster as a kid: the #1 hoarder inspiring movie ever.

I'm drunk. Happy New Year!

Yay happy new year! My dad used to work at a brewery and a summer camp and each year he'd fart in the unused beer bottles (back when you could open and reseal them) and leave them there for the returning counselors at the camp for the next year under the bunk beds and such. Some poor junior counselor got a whiff of my dad's 12 month-old fart when he thought he found a beer that was stashed away.

God the Brave Little Toaster gave me nightmares. I wonder if kids these days who grow up with Veggie Tales and such are going to have the same feelings towards vegetables. It was on here a while back but that shitty Captain N rip-off Video Power had Kwirk (the talking tomato with sunglasses) trying to stop the tomato burglars who are going use them all in pizza because they're his brothers and his sisters, and two seconds later throwing the tomatoes at them making them go splat. This was normal when I was a kid, but it's kind of fucked up and is sort of the vegetable version of Polanski's The Pianist.

God knows how many hoarders Brave Little Toaster and Toy Story made.

I got slightly bit by the bug that anthropomorphizes everything to the point where I won't throw out anything that still works.

That fucking IKEA lamp commercial killed me :(

Heh I'm actually curious about those 2,000+ year old bottles of Roman Ketchup I mentioned above.. turns out it's more like a fish sauce similar to Garum mixed with tomatoes and other stuff. But I wonder how they found that out? I know there's robots that can sort of do taste tests when a company is doing new flavors and such (I think), but would it recognize something so old? Without trying this, these "olives" or that "Ketchup" could be anything in the world

After visiting the ICA so many times, I came up with my own idea for performance art: a video of dumping an entire shopping trip worth of groceries directly down the toilet.
