(Editor’s Note #1: It’s the final day of Reader Request Week here at the Impulsive Buy and today’s review comes from the same person who requested the first review this week, lightpinksheep. This time we will be reviewing the scary, yet intriguing Funyuns With Wasabi. <\/p>\n
Don’t know what wasabi is? Well read on.)<\/i><\/p>\n
(Editor’s Note #2: The following review features stunts performed either by professionals or a not-so-bright quasi-product review blog editor. Accordingly, the Impulsive Buy must insist that no one attempt to recreate or re-enact any stunt or activity performed in this review.)<\/i><\/p>\n
Otherwise known as Japanese horseradish, wasabi is a very spicy condiment, sort of like mustard, except with wasabi, you may experience pain comparable to having your nipples twisted with metal clamps.<\/p>\n
No wait, that actually feels kind of good.<\/p>\n
Wasabi is so spicy that it has been known to make grown men cry. It’s green in color and is usually eaten with sushi.<\/p>\n
To prepare for this review of Funyuns With Wasabi, I decided that I needed to remember what wasabi tastes like, because the only time I ever tried it was for a dare in college, which involved me consuming a pea-sized dollop of wasabi.<\/p>\n
Well the experience was so traumatic, that I don’t remember what wasabi tastes like. All I remember from that is a blur of constant glasses of water and laughter directed towards me. Oh, and the dollar I earned for doing it.<\/p>\n
The dollar was sooo not worth it.<\/p>\n
As I said before, wasabi has been known to make grown men cry. I’m a total wuss, so imagine how much of a little crybaby I became when I put a dime-sized dollop of wasabi into my mouth to try and jolt my memory of what it tastes like.<\/p>\n
Let me tell you, it did jolt.<\/p>\n
After swearing like a sailor, drinking several glasses of water and milk, and wiping the tears away from my eyes, my mouth slowly returned to normal. The taste and burning sensations of wasabi are now tattooed on my brain permanently.<\/p>\n
Now that I remembered what wasabi tastes like, I could now move forward and try these new Funyuns With Wasabi.<\/p>\n
After I opened the bag, I could instantly smell a hint of wasabi coming from it. I gagged a little bit, but composed myself and began chomping them down. <\/p>\n
I could definitely taste the wasabi. It’s not even close to being as strong as eating wasabi straight, but I could feel a slight spicy burn from them. I got through about one-sixth of the bag and then I had to stop. I couldn’t eat anymore, so I them gave them to my friend, who ate the rest of the bag. <\/p>\n
He thought they were pretty good.<\/p>\n
I guess mathematically someone in the world had to.<\/p>\n
Item:<\/b> Funyuns With Wasabi
\nPurchased Price:<\/b> $1.29
\nRating:<\/b> 5 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Unusual flavor. Waaay better than eating just wasabi. Eating wasabi straight makes for a wonderful dare or prank. My friend likes them.
\nCons:<\/b> The wasabi flavor is definitely not for everyone. Slight spicy burn. Leave eating straight wasabi to professionals and not-so-bright quasi-product review blog editors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
