Fitness Romance SagaTasting! Burger King Microwave Frypod
January 19th, 2010 • 35 Comments | Leave a Comment »
It’s the Frypod; that new state of the art Burger King contraption you buy at the grocery store. It contains microwaveable seasoned crinkle fries and empowers fast food lovers to sit on their azz to eat Burger King without the hassle of drive thru.
Surely the healthy hippies don’t know about this fancy, polygon-shaped wonder? And I do apologize for forcing you to behold such blatant un-healthiness. I’m just curious.
The easy transport Frypod directions told me to “shake, vent, zap, tap and rip”. And then I tasted it…….
Boo! Hiss! FAIL! I cannot take it.
Frypod fries are not crispy at all. They’re mushy in some spots and greasy-nasty all over with spicy seasoning gone wrong. Please get these things away from me. I’d rather eat pan-seared rat giblets dipped in boiled hogwash. Maybe.
The Frypod also contains “Disodium Dihydrogen Pyrophosphate”, which sounds like a digestible weapon to self-induce a shortened life span. I’m obviously not eating this again. Like I said, I was just curious.

i Haven’t seen those, probably a good thing since I would have done my own taste test on them, and I’m boycotting Burger King, so I’d feel doubly bad. Thanks for the thumbs down review!

Congratulations. The pure nastiness of this Taste Test is no longer contaminating your system.

I love the way you take one for the team. Those looked nasty [well the idea] before you even reviewed them.
I love knowing what not to buy.
Thanks for the review.

HOLY SH*T! I would never even think about trying this cause I don’t eat fast food anyway BUT with those nutritionals.. OMG, that is crap! You certainly put yourself out there for us!

Josie January 19th, 2010 at 22:30
I ate exactly one crinkle fry before discovering the glistening greasiness that made me hiss.

Frypod sounds like something that would come out of Cow’s rear end after he ate a bad piece of grass. Except it wouldn’t slowly fall like a chunk but spear out like a rocket. Some fella like Joe Dirt would be like, “It’s a meteor!” and cart it around in a wagon for month. Yeah.

seriously josie… these don’t even look tasty… you must be running out of yummy stuff to try… how ’bout a chocolate mint milano taste test… it will perk you right up, my friend

Erin January 19th, 2010 at 23:57
Yuck! Sorry but if I want Burger King I’d rather go out and get the “real” thing than eat a grease pod!

oh c’mon, it was probably really good…

amanda January 19th, 2010 at 21:39
These don’t even sound appealing. Plus isn’t it cheaper to buy burger fries from Burger King then get these nasty mushy ones?

Senior Debutante January 20th, 2010 at 2:46
Maybe I’d been restricted long enough with those burgers that I want to have a “taste” of one. At least I did! Thanks!

Josie January 20th, 2010 at 5:59
JC, I should have invited you over for this Taste Test. To fed you mushy fries one by one and talk greasy to you is kind of a dream of mine.

You have convinced me to never purchase a box of these.

Whhhhhaaaaaattt? For REALS?
“Disodium Dihydrogen Pyrophosphate”… that’s injecting poison into the bloodstream right there
I can’t decide if the fact that this exists is hilarious and laughable or if I should be hiding and sobbing in a corner.

Crabby McSlacker January 20th, 2010 at 10:39
That is hilarious! I had no idea they existed and I’m so glad you were brave enough to try them so I never even have to be tempted.
Thanks for taking one for the team!

Pole climbing or climbing rope is the hardest work ever. TOTAL arm workout and core. You go girl!

Did you say microwavable? I have stopped using my microwave two years ago because of what it actually does to food warmed or cooked with it.
Yeah, I totally agree. Disodium Dihydrogen Pyrophosphate sounds like a poison to me. Anything spelled too long and too cryptic for me to read on the ingredients list, and I’m leaving it on the store.
Love your posts and the information you share. I think I’ll be a regular here

Of the fast food places, Burger King has the worst french fries. I think they are not even real potatoes! Some kind of science project gone wrong potato! And now they can assault out taste buds even more! No spank-you!
[Reply]
kittay skeezah January 20th, 2010 at 16:32
Girlfriend, you are far, far braver than me to actually try those things. “Boo. Hiss! Fail!” LOL I’m guessing they taste like those cones they used to give us in high school, with the greasy, seasoned fries in them. Anyone know what I’m talking about? Bleecckkk..

Diane Fit to the Finish January 20th, 2010 at 16:36
Did you know my post was on drive-thrus? Now we have to avoid Burger King in the grocery aisles as well!
[Reply]
Tara January 20th, 2010 at 18:16
hehe I can’t say im all that surprised, you should try home made baked potatoe fries, they are crunchy and allow you to spice them in any way you please!! =]

Nicole January 20th, 2010 at 19:02
Rat giblets! Haha! I didn’t know rats had giblets!

Those look interesting. My kids might like them but I would never buy them…LOL!
I always laugh at your kids responses.
