Only one shall get it....
*wrinkles nose* It won't be me. shake I'm not a fan.
I'm hoping that only American's are going to get the "Funyuns" reference. Haven't we done enough damage to the culinary sensibilities of the world?

No one can blame their heart attack on Belgian endive...

Funyuns, when part of a sensible routine of diet and exercise, can be very....oh, never mind.
Bah!
I'm holding out for the Super Funyuns... of space!
What if you don't like Funyuns?

Nonsense! Nobody doesn't love Funyuns!

People who dislike Funyuns are a myth, like water sprites and Caliente.
OK, the Lash Tot avatar is still my favorite, but this one's pretty good too.

Speaking of, that rotten kid has probably eaten all the Funyuns. All that will be left at the end of the thread is a crumbs and a sad, crumpled wrapper. Bah! Fie on Super Lash Tot!
That kid does love his Funyuns...
Anyone's Funyuns.
Hey! The bag is empty!

Someone munched and ran!
In college, funyuns and Hostess Fruit Pies were a staple of my diet! Every bite is like sweet, sweet glory!
...that explains much, actually.
Anyone tried Brin's GREEN ONION Cheese snack thingies?

Think Funyuns-flavored Cheetos, and you've just about got it...

Although it's good old-fashioned Funyuns that await at the end of this thread....
I propose a group tour of the Funyuns manufacturing facility. I bet it's a lot like the Wonka Factory only the Oompa Loompas have chronic halitosis.

Funyuns - Crunchfunyummylicious!
But what if the Funyun factory is just a cover for that fabled WMD factory that our government just KNEW Saddam was hiding!

Hell, that bag of Funyuns at the end of this thread could bring sudden, explosive (yet pleasingly oniony)...

<span style="font-size: 30px;">DEATH!!!!</span>

eek
Sad fact: now that I have this weird allergy to onions, I can no longer enjoy Funyans like in my youth.

Therefore, I may end up going evil.
OK someone care to explain just what funyans taste like to someone from the old mother country
Funyuns! The Main Ingredient is Fun!

Sooner or later a marketing rep from Frito Lay will wander into this thread, be bowled over by that super-ultra catchy ad line, and then I'll be on Easy Street. Yup.

Frito Lay guy, please don't read the following-

(Faraway Lad, get a piece of styrofoam, smother it with onion powder - Ba-Da-Bing - Funyun)

Oh like you need an excuse to go evil.
What is the shelflife of a bag of Funyuns?
According to my future employer, Frito Lay, delicious oniony Funyons are best when consumed by the "use by" date on the package. As a future company suck-up, I'll have to concur and add that it's probably not a good idea to eat them after that because you'll go into convulsions and then DIE!

Funyons - Eat them NOW or DIE!
Wow! Two great slogans from Ram Boy. You must be a marketing genius.
Why, yes I am. And thank you for noticing, Quislet. After Frito Lay hires me, I plan to "upmarket" the Funyon brand name.

Funyons - Too Good For The Likes of You

I also think giving away opera tickets with every bag would be a good "promotional" "tie-in".
Don't tell anyone, but earlier I ate... Cheeto's.
Hmm, it seems we might be losing one.

Funyons* - Cuz Chester Cheetah iz EVIL!

* Coming Soon! Francesco the Funny Funyon Ferret!
Fritos, instead?
I had a bag of Funyuns last night! They were FUN! They were YUN! Er, I mean YUM!

For the record, here's the ingriedients list directly typed from the bag: Enriched corn meal, corn and/or soybean oil, salt, fun, corn starch, soy flour, sugar, corn flour, onion powder, monosodium glutamate, dextrose, caramel color, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, natural flavors, garlic powder, turmeric gum, gum arabic and extractives of onion.


"Gum arabic"? Great space! Funyuns are terrorists!!!
Now I'm flashing back on that King of the Hill ep where Bobby and his pal went on the mystical quest to taste a nacho chip just as it came off the assembly line at the factory.

Maybe you could have a Funyuns quest as the jumping-off point for the next roleplay or something...

...We like junk a lot
But it makes our insides rot
So remember, it's your body
And the only one you've got !!
Speaking as someone who HAS eaten a frito direct from the line (elementary school field trip), I can say that I totally understood Lucky & Bobby's quest in that episode of KotH.
Does the LMB have a scientific genius who could rig our toaster ovens to help us recreate that experience at home ?

I don't think Ram Boy's bosses would approve of such a device, as it would likely produce satisfaction in the consumer long before he or she felt a need to put away the entire bag in one sitting. Probably the inventor of such a device would end up like that person that figured out how to make autos run on trash...
Tamper Lad might fit that description...

He can usually be found here
I've never had Funyons ... what makes them fun exactly?
Try them and see!
they, um, frighten me ...
Well, they are terrorists, so this understandable...
Also, I'm a little confused about the "extractives of onion" ingredient in FUNYUNS. What is this? Onion DNA or something? Odd.
Glad you asked Mr.MLLASH !

Extractives of onion (also known as Purity Juice) is an almost magical substance that we here at Frito Lay are just certain will one day be proven to minimize wrinkles, increase sex-drive and cure death. Once "science" catches up with us that is! Until then, just enjoy and stop questioning things so much!

Funyuns - Godhead in a Bag!

Cheetos eaten today: 2 small (lunch-size) bags

Funyuns eaten today: 0

UH oh...
Don't worry, MLLASH. Even as you're digesting that toxic orange goo, we're working on an experimental vending machine that delivers a 100 volt shock whenever any other button beside the Funyuns button is pushed. It's a Pavlovian thing! Before too long people won't dream of selecting any other snack.

Chips - zzzzzt, WRONG!
Funyuns - That is Correct.

Remember Underoos? "It's underwear--that's fun to wear!"

Funyuns-Same principle-They didn't make you cry, and you didn't have to cook them, so they're Fun Onions!

Alas, I used to eat more Funyuns, but then I got into patient care, and if people pass out due to your breath, that's frowned upon. Plus, my Mom always claimed she could smell them on my breath or skin days later. Yes, I bathe.

SO, THEREFORE, I deserve a bag of Funyuns! I have been deprived!
By the time we get to the end of this tread those Funyuns will have long since gone stale.

So I'll fix that by eating them now...
I ate some pretzels today ... they were salty ...
It is I, lovable furry old AFOB, and I will get the Funyuns at the end of this thread. I will make sure they are not opened until I get them. If anyone tries, *PLORP!* *THWACK!* *THWACK!* *THWACK!* *THWACK!*
Oww! Stop that! The funyuns have been gone for days... Oww! Oww! Enough alrea... Oww!
there are still a few crumbs on the floor. You can still fight over them.
I miss the good old days, when all we ever fought about was art, politics, philosophy, religion and the line-up of The Rolling Stones. sigh

Also, there should be glow-in-dark-Funyuns that can double as jewelry at rock concerts, carnivals and sporting events.

Holding out on us????
Today, as I was walking from my car to my workplace, I looked down and saw...a bag of Funyuns!

True story.
HAhah!
I wonder if the bag Stealth saw had real Funyuns inside, or just something stupid and boring like bundles of fifty-dollar bills...
A "big grab" size bag of FUNYUNS is only a mere 4 points on Weight Watcher's plan!

FUNYUNS: EAT THEM AND LOSE WEIGHT!*


*as part of an otherwise healthy diet and excercise plan
Funyuns are yet another awesome thing you can buy at a gas station!

Why, just check out what you could get during an LMB road trip:

Funyuns for Lash
Porno for Pov
Gas for LMB car
Teenage girl at the counter to flirt with Cobie
bump

Because it needed to be done, by damn!
Still no @#$%ing Funyuns?!?!?!
If you've experienced the any following symptoms after consuming one or more bags of Funyuns -

Funyun Breath
Funyun Fingers
Funyunitis (scraping of the mouth palate)

- Then you may be entitled to compensation. Please contact me and find out if you're eligible to join a class action lawsuit against Frito(They'll-Eat-Anything)Lay, the makers of this dangerous, dangerous "snack".
Crap. Here I all was, sitting here on a Friday night trying to get the urge to get off my ass and go out for a drink or something, and then the Funyuns thread comes back. The grocery is right next door... so, so, SO much closer than the gay bar...!
Great space!!!! Surely a sign of the apocalypse...

Yes, but waking up bleary eyed with an empty bag of Funyuns stuck to your head is never any "fun".

Fight the urge, MLLASH!
Which urge-- the one where I go buy 2 bags of Funyuns and gorge myself at the laptop while bumping years-old threads in the LEGION forum, or the one where I go out, get drunk, flirt with people and then get yelled at by my bf?

Both urges are strong... SO strong...
MMLASH, avoid the Funyun Shoppe and then follow the plan outlined below.

Step 1: Tell boyfriend you're going out to feed insomniac orphans
Step 2: Head straight to gay bar
Step 3: Dance, flirt and be merry
Step 4: Make sure to find a new boyfriend before last call, because your probably going to need one when the current one sees through the insomniac orphan ruse.
Choke! I'm a failure on all counts! No Funyuns, no gay bar... I did go to the grocery for some hard cranberry lemonade and Coors light, and I had my, er-- traveling pharmaceutical rep bring over some "over the counter" mood enhancers... so I get to get drunk andc moood-enhanced while still bumping years old threads! Surely I can find someone online to flirt with!! Plus I still get to get yelled at when the bf gets home at midnight and discovers I'm all drunk and mood-enhanced!
confused

Not to play relationship cop or anything, but I'm mystified as to why one couldn't pick up a bag of Funyuns on the way to the bar. Surely man was not meant to live by pretzels and peanuts alone!

Coors Light??

*Coors Light*???

Failure to obtain Funyuns is the least of your problems.
Oh, is Coors Light sentient now, too?

Because that would explain a number of things... urk
I was just thinking that Cajun-blackened Funyuns would probably be marketed as "Blackest Night" Funyuns.

I hate myself for this. evil
Say, those OnYums are giving me a <span style="font-size: 14px;">BIG</span> idea to get rich quick! I'll market my very own onion flavored corn meal snack and call it...get this...OrgasYums!

Cha-Ching!
Don't do it!

My own brand, called UnFUNS, was a big bust!!!
sigh

They say there's a broken heart for every discarded bag of "Corn Diggers" and "Chippos" on Broadway...
So I've been chowing down on these things lately. (Don't be fooled into thinking that I'm succumbing to diet-mania. A careful perusal of the nutrition information proves that they're pretty much the vegetarian answer to pork rinds, only with more sodium.) I'm totally visualizing some kind of party game where one loads these into a double-wide straw (the kind you see at Asian Bubble-tea shops) and shoots them through a Funyun held aloft by an enterprising friend.

I just need to think up a catchy name for the game, and --boom!- I'm the hottest thing to hit the internet since Cat Macros!
Fear not, sweet cleome, for I'm a wiz at marketing.

Call it (drum roll, please)...Pea Through a Straw!
[wipes away tear]

Thank God you're here, Sir!

[snif!]
or The Pea, The Funyun and a Stupid Friend Game.
Would it seem more down-home if we could just work the "double-wide" reference in there somewhere?

Unfortunately, I have a meeting to attend with the comptroller, but meanwhile, please help yourself to a manly bonus from the manly men in Accounts.

It has long been a desire of mine to take multiple bags of different brands of onion-flavored snacks and mix them in a big bowl together like chex mix...

After a stop at the dollar store today, this dream is closer than ever to coming true.
I so need to raid your food stash my friend.
breath mints also provided smile

Our worst fear has come to pass! LASH has... <span style="font-size: 17px;">LOST HIS HEAD...</span> over Funyuns!

I just had Funyuns a bit ago when I was reading comics in my big chair!
Another charm of the word "Funyun" .... it reminds me of Fine Young (Cannibals)! smile
It's been awhile since I had Funyuns.
Kroger has lil lunchbag-sized portions for 50 cents....
I may go and get a bag of Funyons at lunch
I almost got some just now at the store, but they didn't have the regular kind. frown
I thought of Funyons too! But alas, I never could quite wrap my ahead around the part of Lash's jeenyius that liked Funyons.
bump
The only time I like Funyuns is when I smoke a grassy substance.

This is not a bad thing.
Mmmm...greasy, crunchy, salty, mildly spicy snack foods. Love 'em. Unfortunately, I can't eat 'em too often anymore if I'm serious about becoming a cougar.

I saw funyuns at the grocery store today. The fat guy inside me reached for them.
To this day, I don't think I've ever eaten 'em (my enduring love for this thread aside), but I have had both Wasabi peas and Bugles in the last couple of weeks. But not every day, because I have no desire to be transformed into a pillar of salt, Old Testament-style. laugh
