Me too but I like the juice from the sweet pickles, I also like the brine that green olives are in.

Maybe it was due to that horrible shag haircut.

Lubby ~ If you don't shake the whipped cream can, then put your mouth on it and push the nozzle and INHALE a bunch, you will laugh yourself silly.
The gas propellant in the can is Nitrous Oxide - "laughing gas".

I've done all of the above. I have no shame and I'm still alive. And I made smoothies/protein drinks with raw eggs in them for ages. I have also been know to use products past their expiration dates too. But I always taste them first, of course. By mealtime, I figure if I'm not dead yet we are good to go!

I did the exlax thing to a food thief too. Back in the 70's. But there's a science to it. Coating with exlax alone isn't that good and is easy to spot. But with a little creativity, it can be done. You take 3 packages of exlax, a big Hershey bar, a sploosh of cream, and a teaspoon of vanilla. Melt it all together and taste. It's very good! I used doughnuts that had been completely cooled in the fridge. More of the chocolate mixture will 'stick' if they are cold. And we did learn who was stealing the food!

Yes I have tried this

Philly cream cheese has a new line called Sweet Indulgences or something like that. I assume the intent was to spread this stuff on a bagel or some such nonsense. I buy the white chocolate flavored cream cheese and just spoon directly into my piehole when the mood hits me. No one else in the family cares for it, so I don't worry about the whole double dipping aspect. It's as good as raw cheese cake batter, but without the risk of salmonella.

I'm also going to confess that I am a shameless user of monosodium glutamate. I have several versions that come in seasoning mix form, all imported from Europe. It goes in just about everything, including melted butter that I drizzle over my popcorn that I pop myself on the stove (no microwave popcorn in my house). I let my guests know ahead of time because I know some people have sensitivities to it - but I blessedly have no perceivable side affects.
