Home of Rhett & Link fans - the Mythical Beasts!
Oh jeez...once they broke out the pine needles, I knew this was heading in an increasingly worse direction. For one thing, even though baby shampoo is non-toxic, it really should NOT be eaten in large quantities!! It sort of made me ill just watching Rhett pour it into the taco shells...like when they poured glue into their mouths for the Sriracha challenge.
After all the times that Link has predicted or threatened he would retch on the show, I thought he would be able to power through this one, even if just for the sake of saving face. Spoiler alert...he doesn't. D:

Now then, growing up in South Louisiana and having a grandfather who worked for over 30 years for Swift & Company, today the world's largest meat packing company( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swift%27s ), there are not a lot of things I haven't tried at least once. Blood sausage (cajun style) and blood pudding (Irish style) are quite tasty. I've had some blood cake in a Vietnamese dish before (can you say phở ?) . . . not one of my all-time favorites but it was allright.
But I simply refuse . . . repeat REFUSE . . . to venture into the realm of Hawaiian cuisine and pineapple upside-down cake with Spam
