Naturally, T.G.I. Friday&#8217;s has to strip the wholesome appeal away and bastardize the crap out of it by having the frightening amalgamation of *NSYNC known as <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Guy_Fieri\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Guy Fieri<\/a> screaming at you to try them. It&#8217;s not just chain restaurants jumping on the boat, though; these ribs have made their way to your local supermarket.<\/p>\n<p>Now you can try the ribs without having to withstand the deafening loudness of T.G.I. Friday&#8217;s as a gaggle of drunk frat brah&#8217;s hit on your date. It&#8217;s better in an intimate setting, on a lazy weekend with the game on. In a way, Jack Daniel&#8217;s appeals to the tailgaitin&#8217; Southerner in all of us with these refrigerated boxes of booze-glazed ribs. I&#8217;ve been dying to try something that can get me drunk and fat simultaneously. It&#8217;s not hedonism &#8211; it&#8217;s efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Within eight minutes, you have a pound of real, unprocessed ribs ready to eat as you watch Peyton Manning and Brett Favre sell you TV&#8217;s and toothpaste during the increasingly-frequent commercial breaks. That isn&#8217;t to say that the ribs don&#8217;t have their flaws. Brett Favre spends most of his free time playing jean-football with his buddies in the mud, but even he would find these ribs to be messy.<\/p>\n<p>The meat is fall-off-the-bone tender, which sounds awesome until you try to actually pick up the rib and watch the meat cascade onto the plate. It kind of takes the visceral satisfaction out of eating a rib. When you&#8217;re me, you need moments like those to keep you going. And this is going to make me sound like a teenage girl, but the whiskey is really, really strong. I&#8217;m not the type to indulge in Smirnoff Ice and Hypnotiq, but these ribs really do taste like they were dunked in a bottle of Jack. <\/p>\n<p>I could lie and tell you that I sucked it up and pounded a few shots of Jack while I was eating, but I ended up dousing the ribs with ketchup and mixing it with the sauce. It was delicious after that. I had completely emasculated myself, but I figured that watching large men in tights jump on top of each other for six straight hours would have done that to me anyway.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutritional Facts &#8211; 1\/3 box &#8211; 500 calories, 30 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 120 mg of cholesterol, 990mg sodium, 31 grams of carbs, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 21 grams of sugar, 25 grams of protein, 2% Vitamin A, 2% Vitamin C, 2% Calcium, and 10% Iron)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Jack Daniel&#8217;s Baby Back Ribs<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $7.99<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  16 ounces<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Albertsons<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Real, unprocessed ribs.
