He Eats Things So You Don't Have To


You know when something is past its expiration date, and it looks all right, and you try it, but then you realize that it is, in fact, super yucky? Or when a stray Cheerio falls on the floor and you pick it up, dust it off, and pop it in your mouth? Or when you see the sketchy Chinese in the sketchy food court and think, "But I love orange-flavored beef soooo much?"

Those are just minor food risks compared to what Steve does.


This guy should be on Fear Factor. He'd win big. He doesn't just eat the kind of gross stuff--he goes all out. I mean, this guy ate wild fungus, "silkworm snacks," and Beggin' Strips. Dogs may not know it's not bacon, but Steve sure as hell does. This is NOT for the faint of stomach.

What brings this out of the realm of the third-grade boy is that Steve is really funny. From the Beggin' Strips post:


"Beggin' Strips slogan is "Dogs don't know it's not bacon!" Newsflash: Dogs are retarded. Mine used to eat his own vomit, and wag his tail while he did it. I'll be the one to decide if this stuff tastes like bacon or not."

He may put anything in his mouth, but at least he can joke about it. Plus, he also has warnings for people not to eat the things he's eaten. Because his stomach must be made of steel.

I guess someone on the internet has to eat whatever comes across his path, and Steve's just the guy to do it.

I found this guy's site once and read the entry about huitlacoche, which is also called corn smut. It made my stomach turn more than any of his other trips down inedible lane, only because this is something that people really eat. People really eat diseased corn. I have a hard time wrapping my head around that.
