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.
Finished checking out all the posts here? Also checkout !shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca!
(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.)

Oh my fucking God.....they are like shitty Cheeto soup

If you make it as-is then yeah, I'm sure it's pretty mediocre, but similar to ramen, if you use some simple food hacks, then this stuff is friggin' delicious. Here's some tips:

If you're going to go through all of that for Cheetos Mac n cheese you're far better off just cooking actual food.
Not true.
As with loaded ramen, it takes very little effort to make this kind of meal.
Yeah, it might seem complicated for a first-timer, but if you simply experiment a couple times, you'll hit on a personalised, tasty hot snack that you can pretty much make in your sleep.
Making a real meal doesn't take much effort also. Your talking about preparing boxed mac and cheese as if it's real cooking.
That's meaningless without an example, and just dodges the point of what I'm saying.
A "real meal" could be almost anything. Last night for example I was in the mood for french fries. So I spiralised a large potato, soaked it in two cold water baths (IYKYK), pressed, drained, brushed with oil, then spent about three 10min intervals air-frying and carefully turning & separating, repeat. Finally seasoning them and enjoying them.
Guess how much more effort that took than doing the loaded mac & cheese?
It takes less effort and ingredients to make agio de olio for example.
Dude. If you add veggies, spices and parmesan to pasta, that's a meal. You don't need a packet of Cheeto flavouring. It will only make it worse.
I'm just gonna take your word for it lmao
It's like if Ramen was soaked in really gross Mac n cheese and also some how more unpleasant.
Water?! I've never made mac and cheese without milk, occasionally cream if it's all i got.
Then again i can't stand tomatoe soup made with water and not milk either.
Guess its just what you learned to expect from being a kid
