Regarding the ad war between certain soup companies:

Ahahaha, so that's why I've been seeing that stupid commercial. (And that's also why my favorite soup line is such delicious goodness. I knew MSG pops up in a lot of places. Thank you for the clarification, Colbert Report! :D)


In other, very related news, I need to convince Dad that we should make Chex Mix this year. 8D

We put MSG in our Chex mix. That is why our Chex Mix is the best recipe I've ever tried. That, and at least a pound of butter. (The "official" recipe is alright, but it really can't compare to Grandma's recipe. They call that stuff "Aji-no-Moto" for a reason.)




...although I think Dad will probably say no, due to the aforementioned butter and the rather disreputable state that the kitchen is currently in.

I'm one of the 5% of people who have a bad reaction to MSG. I get a fever and break out in hives. It sucks because I hear MSG is wonderful. :(

That really sucks. MSG doesn't really have a taste, but it definitely adds a sort of depth of flavor to foods.
On the other hand, the first time I made chex mix, Dad didn't tell me what exactly it was, only to not eat it on it's own, because it's poisonous like that....or was he talking about cream of tartar?


Hives....well, that just sucks. DX (I'm on good terms with my dermatologist for a reason.)
