Food. The Brains brought up food in many, many episodes. What is your favorite? For me it has to be Hamdingers. Not only were they Joel’s exit device, but they sound darn tasty! Too bad they aren’t around anymore.
I kinda like The Mads’ breakfast bazooka.
You?
If you have WDT ideas, email me at msampo at aol dot com.
I’ve had those before. Personal opinion, it’s not very good. Tastes like a bunch of stuff that shouldn’t be together.
Okay, every episode seems to be covered, except for those appetizingly marketed cartons of ice cream from “Selling Wizard”.
(Dish of ice cream?–Don’t tempt me!)
And yes, I don’t know exactly what the flavor of Chick’n in a Biskit is meant to be, but it’s one of the few strange things you can eat that doesn’t taste like chicken.
Corn Dodgers! I love ’em! Well I think I would…Uh what the hell is a Corn Dodger?
For dessert I will treat myself to a big bowl of Monkey eats.
Wild Rebels cereal actually looked pretty good. Sugary Linda’s, tasty oat-Rod’s. And, there’s a cheap stupid prize inside the box!
Over three kinds of vanilla!
One I always recall is from Teenagers from Outer Space when the “teen” Captain torcha first exits the spaceship and Joel riffs, “boy I sure could go for a hamburger sandwich and some french fried potatoes. I’m a teenager after all.” And of course, “Pancakes…oh I blew it.” Just watched A Touch of Satan last night, so “moldy olive loaf” is still in my mind.
Who can forget Atari in Mighty Jack? He liked his eggs, toast and coffee before going on a super secret spy mission.
Two words – Klack Foods
What’s in a Thruster Buster? Mmmmm… oven tempered meal food…. Honestly, I always wondered if they just made up the Splunky. it seems like some kind of smoothie, or maybe an icee of some kind, with different flavors.
Personally I prefer the “little wing-ed potatoes”.
Also, Dinty Moore Beef Stew. Not only is it yummy, it has all that sodium for killing panty raiding sea monsters.
In Phantom Planet they make much ado about the good and the beautiful, one representative pair being Tawny Kitaen and a plate of sauerbraten. We were perplexed by the descriptions of the dish (sauerbraten, not Ms. Kitaen) but if Mike and Servo thought it was both good and substantial…
I think I’ll go to the club car and get myself a bite. Mm, this tuna melt sammich really tastes quite nice.
And so reasonably priced!
I want to eat at the restaurant Crow and Tom are at when they’re doing their middle aged women from the upper Midwest bit. They do it up so nice.
Hamlet –
Our dark German rye bread MSTed version left out this line wherein Hamlet expounds on the eventual equality of us all:
“A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm”
How’s that for an epitaph, Folks?
Schlitz Beer – a proud sponsor of “A Very Special Joe Don Baker Christmas”.
“Come eat Quisp with me at the junky table.”
“All you packed is rice?” “Yep. Sure is good for ya. Bleached and enriched.”
My college roommate made his own Hamdingers, without realizing that they were a real thing. So his were ham and cheese in puff pastry. Delicious.
My favorite food running gag was how in Season 10, Crow became a master of dipping sauces. Try his peppercorn ranch!
The massive steak, baked potato & peas in THE HOME ECONOMICS STORY looks delicious.
But, as hospital food, maybe not so much.
Avocado Man from Robot Holocaust.
“You could get a job at Chi-chi’s. You could be the job.” – Crow
Waffles!
Good work everyone! RAM chips for all!
Great stew: Chicken, corn, green peppers, chili, onions.
The stew was already mentioned, so here’s another good food riff:
Gamera is really neat, Gamera is filled with meat, We’ve been eating Gamera!!
The dog’s meat.
Have you seen it?
Ye gods, I remember Quisp! Do they still make it? Ah, memories of sugary cereals and good cartoons and Bowery Boys movies on Saturday morning TV,
My mom always made fantastic homemade tamales so it gave me great pause when I heard negative riffs about a food product called “Derby Canned Tamales”.
Yep: Brought back in niche markets, and our local street-store market always has a box, for those of the same age and memories. :)
(For those who don’t, imagine a lighter Cap’n Crunch, with less resistance.)
No online-order link, though, unless you’re looking for a bulk box of 12 at Sam’s Club.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned fluffernutters yet!
I never heard of them before MST3K, and was enlightened by MSTies on the old AOL forums. One even was kind enough to send my a jar of marshmallow fluff. A fluffernutter is the same as a PB&J, except you use marshmallow fluff instead of jelly. I liked it.
Don’t forget to try Cake n’ Shake, with a real male stripper baked right inside. Oh Frank, you’ve outdone yourself! Just a sliver.
From Batwoman, how about the henchman’s Chocolate milk and macaroons for a snack?
Once upon a time, I’d have jumped at the chance for a bulk order of Quisp. Now…I’m seriously considering it.
Chili peppers burn my gut!
It doesn’t matter what we’re having, as long as we’re having it at EAT!
And maybe later, we can stop at “Drink, Boink, and Regret”.

Beef and Bean Chongorito with extra Peso sauce.
“And Emmett Kelly’s STILL eating!!”
