Elbow macaronis with little blocks of molten cheese and little blocks of spam meat. Add in a little kit of ketchup and mayo on the side.

Makes my wife convulse even thinking about it, but I love it. My grand mother would make this for me every now and then as a treat and it never stopped being a treat.

I'm tired of people pretending SPAM isn't delicious.

I'm fond of the occasional Frey Bentos steak and kidney pie in a can but they're getting pricey in Australia.

This looks like a parody product. Like something advertised on Ren and Stimpy

Fun fact, in The Flash movie (guessing nobodys seen it considering it was a flop of the year) Barry opens his mostly empty fridge.. and there's a tin of these in there. Most people probably think it was a prop product but I literally ate them last week..

I have a weird thing about ratios with meat/bread and these are the only hotdogs that don't overwhelm me.

That is a fun fact, thank you for sharing.

I have been thinking about 8 HOT DOGS in Brine all day today. A shame the only place I can find it is amazon for $52

I've only sent a handful of emails to IT over the years while working here:

  1. Hello, AutoCAD says I don't have a license

  2. Hello, I forgot my phone - can you get me into my laptop?

  3. (Literally the next day) Hello, I forgot my phone again...

  4. Hello, my laptop battery is dead, can I have a new one?

  5. Hello, can you please set my Teams profile picture to the attached photo of 8 HOT DOGS in Brine?

Had a good laugh at this one! May the briny goodness of 8 HOT DOGS in Brine be known throughout the globe

Your hot dogs come in cans? 😨

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm equally as astounded as the fact yours come in plastic packagings

When you say it out loud, that does sound weird... 🤔 At least a can makes getting rid of the disgusting hot dog water easier.

Just drink it. The sodium is good for your bonez

The serving suggestion is all eight of them.

Love that food photography style. Two tiny twigs of parsley draped on those huge vulgar sausages. Everything green is somehow greyish.

Angel delight. It's a genius product and so simple

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

never really liked angel delight, but could eat jelly for days.

Sainsburys do a much cheaper, sugar-free version - I keep a few of the butterscotch variety in case of emergencies.

I like the idea of an angel delight emergency
