Welcome to Food Crimes! This community is here to collect all and any post about cursed food and generally unusual consumables.

Right now, here’s the rules:

  1. Posts must include an image or video containing food or drink.
  2. It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.
  3. No AI posts whatsoever, and any images that were altered (Ex: Photoshop, Gimp) need to be tagged.

How to tag: To tag your posts, please prepend or append the tag name inside square brackets. For example,[OC] Foo bar baz or foo bar baz [Meta] would be acceptable. Multiple tags will require separate pairs of brackets, like so: [Edited][OC] foo bar baz

Here are the current tags:

As a vegetarian I'm not 100% certain I should be eating this. It includes "chicken flavoring (list of seemingly vegetarian, but not vegan ingredients)," on the back and I think it's fine so I YOLO'd it. This flavor combo made me go looking for specifically chicken in the ingredients list, and I suspect it's more British takeout inspired. Although this is for the US market and you might be right about the average American consumer.

I've definitely seen "real cheese" labels on pepperoni and other clearly has meat pizzas before, it's a stupid marketing thing. Because once one company does it, it makes you wonder if the others pizzas are also made with "real cheese", and some people actually care if it's not despite the fact that 100% of a frozen pizza is Manufactured Food Product™.
