We decided to take Yahoo’s new Celeb popularity game cleverly titled Celebrity Popularity Game. for a little spin. We’re guessing Clint Eastwood is secure enough in his masculinity not to take this personally but Beverly might be a bit miffed.
Ooh, once more with feeling.
The real Beverly D’Angelo in the National Lampoon classic, Christmas Vacation:

It’s no secret that we love cereal which is why we have always had a soft spot for breakfast. Not only is breakfast the most important meal of the day, it’s the best meal of the day, because of cereal. However, we know most people like to mix it up a bit when it comes to the morning meal and we’re right there with you, variety is a good thing. Unless it involves any of the grotesque breakfast offerings on our first ever Top 5 Gross Out Breakfast Products list.
#1- Beer Jelly
Ever wake up with an overwhelming need desire for a nice cold one? Sure you have, but it’s 7 am, and there’s no way you’re gonna get away with the old stand by “it’s 5 o’clock somewhere” ’cause basically, it’s not. Well, here’s the product for you, Beer Jelly. Who doesn’t love a little beer with their toast? We’ll toast to that!
#2-Batter Blaster Spray Pancake Batter
Listen, we hear ya, mixing batter and water and an egg is really hard work, what with the carpel tunnel and the tennis elbow. Well the product development gods have heard the cries of the masses and responded in kind with Batter Blaster Spray Pancake and Waffle Batter. It’s organic and there’s no exhausting stirring involved, just a shake or two. Plus it looks kinda fun, like making pancakes out of Silly String. See the Batter Blaster in action:

#3 Green Tea Cereal
Anti-oxidants anti-schmoxidants, we’re not eating this. First they tried to slip in the green tea ice cream and we almost fell for it, but it’s not going to work this time. We only eat cereals that are chock full of candy or marshmallows or are posing as cookies and don’t look like Soylent Green.
#4 Liquid Cereal
Isn’t this really just an excuse to drink soda for breakfast? What would happen if you poured the Peanut Butter flavored liquid cereal over Cocoa Krispies? Planetary implosion or Reese’s Peanut Butter genius!
Here’s a video of how it might go down:
#5 Toaster Scrambles
Ew. Turning Toaster Strudel into a savory selection by replacing gelatinous sugary fruit with bits o’egg and bacon is akin to wrapping a Slim Jim in white bread and sticking it in the toaster. Good luck with that.
