Welcome to Food Crimes! This community is here to collect all and any post about cursed food and generally unusual consumables.
Right now, here’s the rules:
- Posts must include an image or video containing food or drink.
- It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.
- No AI posts whatsoever, and any images that were altered (Ex: Photoshop, Gimp) need to be tagged.
How to tag:
To tag your posts, please prepend or append the tag name inside square brackets. For example,[OC] Foo bar baz or foo bar baz [Meta] would be acceptable. Multiple tags will require separate pairs of brackets, like so: [Edited][OC] foo bar baz
Here are the current tags:
- Edited - The image was manipulated with editing software.
- OC - You made this cursed food yourself!
- Meta - Relating to the community itself.

(BTW, I’m looking for someone to help mod here! I myself would not be enough if this community goes beyond a few posts a day.)

I will not hear a single bad thing about these. They were a gift of the gods and were only removed to punish humanities sinfull nature.
Repent, I say. REPENT!
I've had these, and they are actually pretty good. But you will burn your tounge. Badly.
I’m starting to suspect Dr. Oetker’s credentials may not be real…
No, it's real. He got an actual doctorate and a specific patent on baking powder.
I didn't come here to learn something!
Pretty sure Ashens covered Trekking food in an old video on yt.
I've noticed Ashens is kind of winding down, release schedule is basically just the holidays now, has he announced anything? Retiring etc?
Haven't heard anything about retiring yet. I think part of it is a lot of the pound shops he depended on for tat have gone away. On top of that, after all these years I would guess that he is running out of novel junk from his collection to talk about. He's also been working on his feature films too, which may be more rewarding to him in the long run than reviewing wonky toys and terrible food.
I'm cool with him slowing down as long as he's enjoying himself.
I think he is running out of stuff a bit, yes. IMO he should open his PO Box back up. though the more spaced out releases do make it easier to post new videos in [email protected] "on time" (quotes because it's not really as on time as you'd think)
I think he's making another movie.
after Polybius Heist?
Yeah, he making a horror film - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ashens/turn-back-a-folk-horror-film-told-in-reverse
It’s a risky business model, going all in on catering to the post-apocalypse last-resort pre-cat-food desperate survival market.
FWIW - this picture has been floating around since the mid 2000's; the person who blogged about it cooked it super wrong. The instructions said to use a bain marie, and they didnt know what a bain marie, but saw you boiled water in it, so they just boiled the can. If you boil a can, water is 100% going to seep into it, and turn it into...what you see here.
Wait are these cans not watertight?
They are in the same way any canned good is. If you boil it, the can is likely to warp slightly and allow water in, also things like plastic liners and other chemicals can leech into your food, you generally aren't supposed to cook food inside the cans they come in.
Ok so wtf is a bain marie?
It's a lower pot that you boil water in with an upper pot that you put the food in. No water gets near the food, it's meant for applying even, indirect heat
I think that context just graduates the food crime from second degree to first degree
