The Fasties – Awards for Fun Food!

While I may not 100% agree with these winners, I agree with the awards! Thrillist’s 3rd annual Fasties are a PERFECT opportunity for horizontal eating of some important Fun Foods.

Five competing restaurants per Fun Food category and 15 categories so a total of 75 opportunities of horizontal eating experiences!! French fries, onion rings, tacos, cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets plus more – each are Fun Foods. And perhaps future Fasties will incorporate meat alternative categories to broaden their appeal as everyone’s tastes broaden.

And you can’t beat their perspective – their awards are Fun not serious and perhaps a bit educational!! I’m going to go track down the New Menu item of 2022 – Taco Bell has a new Crispy Chicken Sandwich Taco!! And also Burger King’s Ch’king with it’s award winning “thick-cut” pickles!

Easter Fun Food Extravaganza!

It is the long Easter Weekend and there is an abundance of Fun Food!

This handy summary of key Easter candy comes from a survey by Instacart. Egg shaped candy comes out on top of Bunny shaped candy and chocolate is #1 no matter the shape! I cannot believe that a majority of people believe Easter candy is better than Halloween Candy though…

My fave apple cinnamon hot cross buns from Cobs are popular and hard to find – they will be baking them until approximately Wednesday. AND McDonald’s has an Easter Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry, I may have to go tomorrow while it is still the long weekend!

Easter Candy Corn – Someone’s Fun Food…

I’m a BIG fan of Easter Candy (currently missing my FAVOURITE Ganong Easter Cherry Eggs as they were not produced in 2022…!) but as I have already put on the record, I am not a fan of candy corn.

As this Pure Wow article shares, Easter Candy Corn comes in very cute colours. The article also outlines the history of candy corn that stretches back to the late 1800s…! The cute colours are a more recent update.

And I find it very funny that one brand of “candy corn” is calling their version Easter Chick Poop and it is sold out on Amazon…! Seems fitting somehow but I am amazed it is sold out.
