I'm hoping that only American's are going to get the "Funyuns" reference. Haven't we done enough damage to the culinary sensibilities of the world?

Nonsense! Nobody doesn't love Funyuns!
People who dislike Funyuns are a myth, like water sprites and Caliente.

OK, the Lash Tot avatar is still my favorite, but this one's pretty good too.
Speaking of, that rotten kid has probably eaten all the Funyuns. All that will be left at the end of the thread is a crumbs and a sad, crumpled wrapper. Bah! Fie on Super Lash Tot!

Think Funyuns-flavored Cheetos, and you've just about got it...
Although it's good old-fashioned Funyuns that await at the end of this thread....

I propose a group tour of the Funyuns manufacturing facility. I bet it's a lot like the Wonka Factory only the Oompa Loompas have chronic halitosis.
Funyuns - Crunchfunyummylicious!

But what if the Funyun factory is just a cover for that fabled WMD factory that our government just KNEW Saddam was hiding!
Hell, that bag of Funyuns at the end of this thread could bring sudden, explosive (yet pleasingly oniony)...
DEATH!!!!

Sad fact: now that I have this weird allergy to onions, I can no longer enjoy Funyans like in my youth.
Therefore, I may end up going evil.

Sooner or later a marketing rep from Frito Lay will wander into this thread, be bowled over by that super-ultra catchy ad line, and then I'll be on Easy Street. Yup.

What is the shelflife of a bag of Funyuns?
Posted by Ram Boy on :
According to my future employer, Frito Lay, delicious oniony Funyons are best when consumed by the "use by" date on the package. As a future company suck-up, I'll have to concur and add that it's probably not a good idea to eat them after that because you'll go into convulsions and then DIE!
Funyons - Eat them NOW or DIE!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Wow! Two great slogans from Ram Boy. You must be a marketing genius.
Posted by Ram Boy on :
Why, yes I am. And thank you for noticing, Quislet. After Frito Lay hires me, I plan to "upmarket" the Funyon brand name.
Funyons - Too Good For The Likes of You
I also think giving away opera tickets with every bag would be a good "promotional" "tie-in".

Don't tell anyone, but earlier I ate... Cheeto's.

Posted by MLLASH on :
I had a bag of Funyuns last night! They were FUN! They were YUN! Er, I mean YUM!
For the record, here's the ingriedients list directly typed from the bag: Enriched corn meal, corn and/or soybean oil, salt, fun, corn starch, soy flour, sugar, corn flour, onion powder, monosodium glutamate, dextrose, caramel color, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, natural flavors, garlic powder, turmeric gum, gum arabic and extractives of onion.
"Gum arabic"? Great space! Funyuns are terrorists!!!
Posted by cleome on :
Now I'm flashing back on that King of the Hill ep where Bobby and his pal went on the mystical quest to taste a nacho chip just as it came off the assembly line at the factory.
Maybe you could have a Funyuns quest as the jumping-off point for the next roleplay or something...
...We like junk a lot But it makes our insides rot So remember, it's your body And the only one you've got !! Posted by MLLASH on :
Speaking as someone who HAS eaten a frito direct from the line (elementary school field trip), I can say that I totally understood Lucky & Bobby's quest in that episode of KotH.
Posted by cleome on :
Does the LMB have a scientific genius who could rig our toaster ovens to help us recreate that experience at home ?
I don't think Ram Boy's bosses would approve of such a device, as it would likely produce satisfaction in the consumer long before he or she felt a need to put away the entire bag in one sitting. Probably the inventor of such a device would end up like that person that figured out how to make autos run on trash...

Also, I'm a little confused about the "extractives of onion" ingredient in FUNYUNS. What is this? Onion DNA or something? Odd.
Posted by Ram Boy on :
Glad you asked Mr.MLLASH !
Extractives of onion (also known as Purity Juice) is an almost magical substance that we here at Frito Lay are just certain will one day be proven to minimize wrinkles, increase sex-drive and cure death. Once "science" catches up with us that is! Until then, just enjoy and stop questioning things so much!

Posted by Ram Boy on :
Don't worry, MLLASH. Even as you're digesting that toxic orange goo, we're working on an experimental vending machine that delivers a 100 volt shock whenever any other button beside the Funyuns button is pushed. It's a Pavlovian thing! Before too long people won't dream of selecting any other snack.
Chips - zzzzzt, WRONG! Funyuns - That is Correct.

Remember Underoos? "It's underwear--that's fun to wear!"
Funyuns-Same principle-They didn't make you cry, and you didn't have to cook them, so they're Fun Onions!
Alas, I used to eat more Funyuns, but then I got into patient care, and if people pass out due to your breath, that's frowned upon. Plus, my Mom always claimed she could smell them on my breath or skin days later. Yes, I bathe.
SO, THEREFORE, I deserve a bag of Funyuns! I have been deprived!
Posted by Abin Quank on :
By the time we get to the end of this tread those Funyuns will have long since gone stale.
So I'll fix that by eating them now...
Posted by SharkLad on :
I ate some pretzels today ... they were salty ...

It is I, lovable furry old AFOB, and I will get the Funyuns at the end of this thread. I will make sure they are not opened until I get them. If anyone tries, *PLORP!* *THWACK!* *THWACK!* *THWACK!* *THWACK!*

Oww! Stop that! The funyuns have been gone for days... Oww! Oww! Enough alrea... Oww!

there are still a few crumbs on the floor. You can still fight over them.
Posted by cleome on :
I miss the good old days, when all we ever fought about was art, politics, philosophy, religion and the line-up of The Rolling Stones. [sigh]
Also, there should be glow-in-dark-Funyuns that can double as jewelry at rock concerts, carnivals and sporting events.

Crap. Here I all was, sitting here on a Friday night trying to get the urge to get off my ass and go out for a drink or something, and then the Funyuns thread comes back. The grocery is right next door... so, so, SO much closer than the gay bar...!

Yes, but waking up bleary eyed with an empty bag of Funyuns stuck to your head is never any "fun".
Fight the urge, MLLASH!
Posted by MLLASH on :
Which urge-- the one where I go buy 2 bags of Funyuns and gorge myself at the laptop while bumping years-old threads in the LEGION forum, or the one where I go out, get drunk, flirt with people and then get yelled at by my bf?
Both urges are strong... SO strong...
Posted by Ram Boy on :
MMLASH, avoid the Funyun Shoppe and then follow the plan outlined below.
Step 1: Tell boyfriend you're going out to feed insomniac orphans Step 2: Head straight to gay bar Step 3: Dance, flirt and be merry Step 4: Make sure to find a new boyfriend before last call, because your probably going to need one when the current one sees through the insomniac orphan ruse.
Posted by MLLASH on :
Choke! I'm a failure on all counts! No Funyuns, no gay bar... I did go to the grocery for some hard cranberry lemonade and Coors light, and I had my, er-- traveling pharmaceutical rep bring over some "over the counter" mood enhancers... so I get to get drunk andc moood-enhanced while still bumping years old threads! Surely I can find someone online to flirt with!! Plus I still get to get yelled at when the bf gets home at midnight and discovers I'm all drunk and mood-enhanced!
Posted by cleome on :
Not to play relationship cop or anything, but I'm mystified as to why one couldn't pick up a bag of Funyuns on the way to the bar. Surely man was not meant to live by pretzels and peanuts alone!

Failure to obtain Funyuns is the least of your problems.
Posted by cleome on :
Oh, is Coors Light sentient now, too?
Because that would explain a number of things... Posted by cleome on :
I was just thinking that Cajun-blackened Funyuns would probably be marketed as "Blackest Night" Funyuns.
I hate myself for this. Posted by Ram Boy on :

So I've been chowing down on these things lately. (Don't be fooled into thinking that I'm succumbing to diet-mania. A careful perusal of the nutrition information proves that they're pretty much the vegetarian answer to pork rinds, only with more sodium.) I'm totally visualizing some kind of party game where one loads these into a double-wide straw (the kind you see at Asian Bubble-tea shops) and shoots them through a Funyun held aloft by an enterprising friend.
I just need to think up a catchy name for the game, and --boom!- I'm the hottest thing to hit the internet since Cat Macros!
