By the way, you know those "great articles" I keep alluding to for this month? I started putting the first one together, and by God, get yourselves excited right now. Trust me on this one. I was hoping to get it up by Friday, but that might be tough, so Monday at the latest. (weekend readers might get a early look) Rarely do I get so amped about an article that I don't know where to start, but this one is throwing me for all sorts of loops. You won't believe it. This is the big one. Stay tuned...

Mmmm, death by fettucine. To create an entire article out of a can of old and forever dead slop is a journalist's dream. Matt, you are my dream, and the dreamer is tired. Time for bed! Fare thee well!

Chestnuts roasted by Xen @ 11/05/2003 08:52 AM EST
Matt, somehow your expired food and your taste-testing supposed "foods" are some of my favourite articles. And though I'm somewhat disturbed to know how excited I get to see an expired food article, I hope you never stop making them. That said, I gotta ask: what does your girlfriend think about some of the things you do for the site (like having rancid-ass Chef Boyardee smell permeating the apartment (well, his pasta, not Chef Boyardee, himself))? Or does she just chalk it up to you suffering for your art?
Can't wait for the new stuff: it sounds better than a million orgasms all wrapped up in a bow.
Chestnuts roasted by Molten @ 11/05/2003 09:38 AM EST
Another quality article, Matt. I have to ask, though - where did you get those Ultimate Muscle toys? They are ace.
Chestnuts roasted by Sparky @ 11/05/2003 09:48 AM EST
Where the hell did you get the little newspaper and notebook? Also, those figures are really poseable. I've never seen a figure with swivel fingers so they could wave. Good job.

Chestnuts roasted by jjgoreha @ 11/05/2003 04:02 PM EST
I'm pretty sure the Chef no longer makes Fettuccine. I'm a regular at his section of the grocery store, and I haven't seen it. His website http://www.chefboyardee.com/pages/parents_lounge_our_products.html also makes no mention of the fabled pasta. You win the prize, Matt!
Chestnuts roasted by Tony @ 11/05/2003 04:09 PM EST
That symbol on Orion’s shirt is probably some Chinese/Japanese character but I couldn’t help but think of The Greatest American Hero when I saw it. Maybe he’s the Asian equivalent.

Hey Matt, I think I know why a deli is selling you ten year old cans of shitty pasta. You've been buying your article materials from a fucking bodega man. I guarantee you, the only thing that's fresh there is the pot.
Chestnuts roasted by D-MoN @ 11/05/2003 06:47 PM EST

Chestnuts roasted by Sergio @ 11/05/2003 07:18 PM EST
The symbol on Orion's shirt is Japanese. It means "naka", which means "middle, within, inside." Can't say how accurate that is, though. I got it from a Japanese-English dictionary dated 1988. Could be out of date.
Chestnuts roasted by Mr. Mr. Mr. @ 11/05/2003 08:06 PM EST
*shows off knowlege of Japanese* Mr.Mr.Mr.'s translation is right.
Don't know why it is it on Orion's shirt though...

Chestnuts roasted by Xen @ 11/05/2003 10:05 PM EST
it means china in this case I would guess.
Chestnuts roasted by megaboy x @ 11/05/2003 10:09 PM EST
Theory on the Japanese symbol--
If the symbol means "in the middle" and the symbol is in the middle of his shirt, I'd say it's a joke from a postmodernist perspective that's simply there to say "I'm smarter than you."
Or it could mean that he's all up in the middle of that shiat, or that he's the inside man, the one with the skinny.
But it's probably just there because the sculpter thought it looked cool.
Matt, does Ugo ever have you do more premieres and press conferences? Just wondering if we could ever expect more of that. It sorta made ME feel famous in a way.
Chestnuts roasted by inkmage @ 11/05/2003 10:09 PM EST
I don't believe Chef Boyardee makes Fettuccine anymore - at least, it's not avalible in this part of New Jersey or at the convience-store-sized grocery store I work at.
All I can say on the article is...Matt, please tell me you didn't eat that stuff, right? Then again, if you did, you might have been around to post the tale...

the symbol on Orion's shirt is Chinese/Japanese. it does in fact mean middle. it is also the first character in the Chinese word for China, which literally translated is middle country. help any?
Chestnuts roasted by some random person @ 11/06/2003 12:42 AM EST
You know, unless they're infested with botulism germs, canned food doesn't really expire. The expiration date is a formality, like with aspirin.
In the 1950s or so the British opened up a can of hundred year old tin of meat that had been kept as a memento of a polar expedition. It was still perfectly fine.
Chestnuts roasted by Regault @ 11/06/2003 02:30 AM EST
Speaking of Chef Boyardee, do they still make Roller Coasters in the States? I know the Roller Coaster noodles are basically the same as the Chef Boyardee Lasagna noodles except with meatballs added, but the tomato sauce was totally different, a lot sweeter than any other Chef Boyardee sauce, perfect for dipping white bread into. Actually, if I think about it, I think every different variety of Chef Boyardee product has a slightly different formula for the tomato sauce, because I can't ever remember two different Chef Boyardee products tasting the same.

Uh...two notes:
-Amstel and Orion are in fact really Kid Muscle and Ramenman. I was under the impression that the whole world watched Ultimate Muscle. How wrong I was.
-That coupon is still valid!

Roller Coasters? I've never ever seen Chef Boyardee's Roller Coasters.
I've always been more of a SpaghettiOs man anyway. With meatballs of course.

Revoltor - isn't Ultimate Muscle awesome!!! It's just started over here in the UK. I feel like such a kid again for watching it. Do you happen to know where I could get the Kid Muscle toy that Matt has? All the ones I've found online don't have that outfit on, they just have him in trunks.

Chestnuts roasted by Slacker @ 11/06/2003 10:56 AM EST
I'm sad to say I don't have any amusing anecdotes about horribly old food, but I do have a story about an outdated Boyardee commercial.
We have this tape (taped off the TV: NBC's Movie of the Week- "Annie"), loaded with commercials from '87. One of them is a Boyardee commercial featuring an extremely 80's babysitter feeding kids the pasta, saying how glad she is to have Chef Boyardee because it's easy to make, mostly fat-free and the kids seem to like it. Old Skool Boyardee logos were rampant here, but sadly, no spaghetti on a plate, still in the tin can shape.
So anyway, fast forward about ten years. I was casually watching TV and I swear, this old commercial came on! Old skool logos, makeup-laden 80's woman and everything. It was like some creepy TV time warp. I hadn't eaten Boyardee spaghetti for years prior to this. I was scared.
I think I'm going to watch this tape again and see if there's any mention of Fettucine.

Do they still make the tortilini? I remember that one about the same time as the other pastas. This was during the serious stage of the Chef.
Chestnuts roasted by DomoOriGato @ 11/06/2003 12:22 PM EST
Hey Matt, you mentioned Sailor Mercury in one of your articles one time, didn't you?
Anyways, will you ever do an X-E review based on one of the Sailor Moon episodes?
Or perhaps an episode of DragonBall?
It would be absolutely priceless to read you goding about Goku, Serena, or Queen Beryl! :D
Chestnuts roasted by animefan @ 11/06/2003 12:32 PM EST
Grr. Those Ultimate Muscle figures mostly serve to remind me how much I want some of those Naruto action figures they have in Japan.
They also remind me of 4Kids paying for a second season of Kinnukiman to be made, only with less action and more fart jokes.
Here's the thing that really annoys me. The TMNT aren't allowed to stab anyone, but the Kinnukiman characters dole out Roman Suplexes at the drop of a hat. A roman suplex is a lot more emulatable for a little kid then stabbing someone with a ninja weapon.

Chef Boyardee still makes the tortellini, in both cheese and meat varieties.
I bought a family size can of spaghetti with meatballs last night. Never fucking doing that again. Ever.
Chestnuts roasted by TEd @ 11/06/2003 01:36 PM EST
Petition to keep anime off of X-E . . . unless of course Matt's having more adventures with Pokemon. Otherwise, no anime on X-E. It's just not the kind of material the site is interested in showing, am I right? Don't get me wrong, Princess Mononoke was brilliant, but the medium just wouldn't stand the X-E test. Or maybe that's just my opinion. I want to hear what O.G. Readmore has to say.
Chestnuts roasted by inkmage @ 11/06/2003 04:36 PM EST
Hmmm...the coupon claims to have no expiration date, so I guess it's it's still valid. But I'm not sure if you can still get Chef Boyardee Fettucine. If you can, it'd be really funny if you went ahead and tried to use this coupon.
Come to think of it, this reminds me of all those Kool-Aid points I still have. I don't know if they're still good, but I doubt I'd want any of the crap that they now give away. After all, who wants a a pitcher shaped like the Kool-Aid man? Wait a minute...don't answer that. (immediately gets up to go count out his Kool-Aid points while grabbing his car keys to go out and find a store with an order form)
Chestnuts roasted by Nate @ 11/06/2003 06:27 PM EST
CK: your friend is on crack. either that or he's pulling your leg (aka has no clue at all how to read Chinese) the symbol does not mean wisdom. I really should know what I'm talking about as I've living, working and studying in China and have been for the past 3 years. which reminds me... I really should send some of the cheesy stuff I find here to Matt. all the fake Pokemon stuff alone is great, and cheap to boot.
Chestnuts roasted by some random person @ 11/06/2003 06:44 PM EST
I must agree with inkmage - I'm bombarded with anime in every semi-popular medium I peruse, X-E seems like such a blissful retreat.

Chestnuts roasted by allicat @ 11/06/2003 07:20 PM EST
How utterly revolting; Matt, I can't help but wonder each time you do this, but does the checkout clerk ever say anything at all when you toddle up to the counter with something that's obviously even to him, terribly past expiration, possibly even older than he is? Or does he just dull-ly scan it over the reader, after perhaps an ever so slight pause, when a non-brain stem neuron flashes in recognition of something slightly out of the ordinary?
And I couldn't really tell from the article, but did you, uh, you know, eat it? ( p.s. your fruity bubble gum HiC was even fouler; if you like 'donations', I'm going home for christmas and could swear I've seen the same 'new' container of Betty Crocker vanilla cake frosting in the pantry for the last 10 or so years; settling of contents may have occurred so just give it a good shake...)
Chestnuts roasted by Krappy Kat @ 11/06/2003 07:26 PM EST
They never say or do anything to indicate that they "know," but, if a deli's selling shit this old, the owners probably aren't the most caring of the bunch.
Strangely enough -- not sure if anyone remembers those old cans of Pac-Man Pasta I found and put on the site, but my last apartment made that place my most local deli, and I became pretty good friends with the owner. He's since changed his ways, but boy, the time I spent in there was hilarious. They sold cold cuts, and five minutes after selling some guy a roast beef sandwich, he came back complaining about the meat being rancid -- and it was, because the entire store stunk of it as soon as he opened the wrapper. I turned around in that "hey this is none of my business" gesture, and what do I see? A bag of Sprinkled Chips Ahoy. Wish I woulda bought it -- it was bought (or removed) when we went back.

Also, to the british guy who wants Kid Muscle: That's King Muscle you're seeing. He's the one with the trunks, and the one the people who collected M.U.S.C.L.E.s have twenty dozen of.

Arrg! We are smurfs now!
I don't mind anime being kept off of X-E, but I think Matt should review at least ONE episode of Sailor Moon. It doesn't MATTER that I haven't seen an episode of it on TV for at least 3 years--it is still the uniform cartoon of 4-year-old little girls everywhere. A little cousin of mine who's just around that age was in town yesterday, and asked me what my favorite TV shows were. I told her--SD Gundam, Lilo & Stitch: The Series, Teen Titans, and AFV. And what did she tell me hers was? "Sailor Moon!" Even I had a stage where I loved the Sailor Scouts--Merc was always my favorite. For the longest time, I wished I could be a Sailor Scout too... and my friend Erin! Who was her first character? A Sailor Moon fanchar. It's engrained in American pop culture, it's X-E worthy.
And just to let you know, Matt: If you did nothing on this site but review rancid food, I'd still visit you every day. If I was going to organize my dream X-E Action Figure Banter with my toys, it'd involve my Invisibilty Cloak Harry Potter, Impa, my entire Pikachu collection, and my seriously old Magic Glow Friend.
Hey, X-E'ers, can you jump-start my memory? I was looking through my old stuffed toys today for a yardsale we might be having, and I found this old one--what was the name of the line? They were polar bears and they had these little medallions with shiny stuff in 'em and some weird liquid. You'd put the medallions in the freezer, and after a while you'd pull it out and rub it over the bear, and parts of it would change color. I remember that mine changed blue, though I think all her color-changing is worn out by now.

Chestnuts roasted by ineptitude @ 11/07/2003 08:45 PM EST
Meh... while I, with 100 or so DVDs of the stuff, certainly wouldn't mind seeing more anime stuff on this site, I do get the idea that anime in general just isn't Matt's bag and that he was including the M.U.S.C.L.E. figures just because it's a semi-popular toy line currently.
I'm one of the biggest adult male Sailor Moon fans there is (I got the uncut, subtitled 1st season boxset for my birthday... 46 episodes, baby!), but, if I ever want to see Matt review anything Sailor Moon, it's got to be the new Japanese live-action Sailor Moon series currently circulating on the various file-sharing services. It's more wonderfully cheesy than I ever could have possibly dreamed it would be; it's sublime.
(If Matt's interested, I could always burn the first 5 episodes to CD...)

Sorry to burst the bubble, but the modern "Nutrition Facts" label pinpoints the can to 1994 at earliest. I'm not sure when Chef Boyardee stopped using the oval can label design with the old logo, but that definately happened well before 1998, when I ate a Chef Boyardee product for the first time.

My friend Brandy found a 17 year old box of Ninja Turtles pasta at her grandma's. It was in the style of Kraft Dinner with a packet of "pizza sauce" mix. Our law teacher made us open it in class on the last day of school... good times.

I remember Roller Coasters. They used to be one of my favorites. I haven't seen them in years though.
I'm surprised there isn't a site somewhere devoted to discontinued Chef Boyardee pastas.

That's not so bad. When i worked in a grocery store we replaced all the shelving. This shelving had been there for 20 years, and lots of product feel behind it in that time. We found 15 year old kraft mayo and salad dressing, and a lot of ammusing products that came out for like, 3 weeks back in 89 that i remeber being psyced about when i was 5.

They stopped making Roller Coaster Pasta back when I was like 12 or something. Damn that was like 28 years ago... I really missed that stuff.

Well, the Deli of Christmas Past has struck yet again. You might remember a fairly recent blog entry about some old packs of Jell-O I picked up at one of our local (and really filthy filthy filthy) convenient marts -- I thought I'd finally cleaned the place out of all the foodstuffs capable of killing a person, but check out what we found last night:
