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.)

That would make for a good post theme: "Why do people keep going back for food they don't like?"
Off the top of my head I'm thinking about stuff like fruitcakes, chalk-tasting valentines hearts, candy corn for Halloween... except those all have a holiday / special day theme. Hmm...
Gotta sprinkle a little crack into the mix to get em coming back for more
Good point in reality.
Don't some fast food joints (like McD's) add artificial flavoring agents to the hot food such that they get diffused in to the air, whetting peoples taste buds?
Point is that the food never quite tastes as good as it smells, and in fact might make you feel downright badly afterwards. Yet next time you pass by, you might just smell those delicious smells and make the same bad decision again.
