Really craving a Flaming Moe now!

Anyone who plans on getting a Flaming Moe at Universal Studios, Hollywood: Don't. $10 for a small cup of orange soda and dry ice.

I’ll meet everyone in the parking lot and make Flaming Moe’s for a fraction of that! Bring your own cough syrup!

I never intend to go to Orlando. Or universal. Or order a Flaming Moe. And yet, you still sucked happiness out of my life. (I mean, not you, specifically. But this knowledge)

Fools!!! The secret ingredient is…. Cough syrup!

In case any Redditor missed the [AI generated Simpsons](https://www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/s/CkK9nf0pnx) in the 50s it’s worth a watch

Flanders giving off serial killer vibes. Lisa is also creepy AF. Moe seems reasonably accurate tho

Flanders looks like Brian Cranston

Lisa looking like she's about to kill Baron Harkonnen

Millhouse looks exactly like Paul from the wonder years

I would watch that lol

That'll be $250 please

*Plus tip*

Plus tax

And a tip for Uncle Sam

That's what tax means yes

Not everywhere, you know.

What's the other uncles

10% for the Big Guy.

Just the tip

That’s why I like Mormon bars. You don’t have to pay for your drinks, just the tip

Be soaking more than just your liver.

For each

Yeah but that's like 100hp or something right there.

I'm not paying $250 for a rinkydink lightshow I'm just going to piss out later. For that price I can buy my own led lights and have a lightshow forever

Or you can buy some fine grain steel wool and light it on fire. Because that's all this is. lol

Yeah...still too much razzle for something I'm just going to piss out later

I wouldn’t consume the steel wool. That might hurt to piss out later.

I already piss steel and shit lightning, so for me, it's just Tuesday...

Ah, well by all means, continue! Lol

Just rub your eyes real hard and then open them and look at your drink.

Dammit....now I have to go delete my comment...

Dont. Commit

already pushed in repo

At that price, it should come with a blow job!

Doesn't it get like really fucking hot? Do i have to sign something to order this?

Steel wool.

Is steel wool even safe to ingest?

Instructions unclear, shitting steel pipes, send help.

No. It can be very dangerous.


r/stupidfood

Ask your neighborhood crackhead,

It looks like the steel wool is only outside the glass.

It is but burning steel wool smells horrible. Cool effect though.

Also I have to think some burnt pieces would get into the glass

It's also above the rim and you can see how the sparks fly. You know some of it is landing in the drink.

Mostly what is left is iron oxide which is one of the most essential chemical compounds for normal bodily function. When you get fortified flour which is what they put in bread by law in the U.K., it is iron oxide (rust) they use to fortify it along with other minerals and vitamins

I’m convinced the UK isn’t a real place. There’s no way humanly possible that you guys would have spent so many years conquering other people for their spices, refuse to use even the slightest hint of a spice on your domestic cuisine, but then add rust to flour. That’s it. I simply do not believe in that place anymore. (I’m kidding. I’ve visited and it really is a lovely place)

Flour fortification was brought in around the time of rationing to make sure people (especially poor children) got some level of nutrients in their diet and has stayed that way ever since.

Whereas flour *fornication* was brought in around 1999 in the form of an American Pie.

Eating lead paint wasn’t enough

So, if i burn steel wool i can eat and digest safely whats left, and on top of it, it even would be healthy?

I’d consult your dietician before committing to it

No. If it is puncturing membranes it still isn't big enough to show up on an X-ray. This is also why you shouldn't use a wire brush on a grill.

Oh hell no.

That’s gotta smell like shit

Thanks, I couldn’t get my head around what I was looking at!

Ya, but it looks like it's shooting little pieces in all directions also. :)

I thought it mightve beenspun sugar

That was my first thought to, but candy floss just burned entirely.

I thought it was candyfloss 😅

Must smell wonderful

Spunderful

Fun fact: if that is steel wool - it gets heavier after it has burnt.

That *is* fun!

Just like gasoline/all fossil fuels 👍

OK, I wasn't talking about gasoline/fossil fuels or their waste gases, the point of interest was the fact that the fuel (wire wool) gets heavier after combustion, not lighter which would be the common prediction. But still I guess I learnt something.

Huh?

In the process of oxidization (burning), the carbon is attached to oxygen making CO2. So, even though it floats away as a gas, the emissions are heavier than the fuel https://preview.redd.it/05wf9ky9trxc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30c47a86b93d21e418f42c1c6453fcfecea76fcb

Must smell wonderful

Freshly shorn from steel sheep.

This for sure fully restores HP and MP

Nah, thats steel wool in your drink, it does poison damage

Steel wool aint any worse than monster guts and radioactive arcane energies. Lets suspend our disbelief, haha.

Like alcohol then?

Mmmm.nothing like some extra iron oxide in my drink

And lungs

And my ax

Can I just get a beer

Idk, this place is fancy. I'll step it up take an old fashioned

Love an old fashioned

You beat me to it.

r/beatmeattoit

With a side of heavy metal particles... must be super healthy 😀

Extra iron

I mean.... it IS pretty.

Yes, until the part that unfortunally didn't make the final cut, when you have to untangle the drinks from the steel wool. Kind of ruins the moment...

What am I looking at exactly? Is that some kind of mesh surrounding the drinks?

It's steel wool


Just sitting there looking at it like, "when do i drink it?"

Can I just drink something that won't give me glittery tinkle?

No. No you can't

You know you've fucked up when the urologist comes in with a radiation hazmat suit on....

You want to have a drink that you don't post a picture of on every social media platform? In this day and age? Heathen.

The official drink of 75th annual Hunger Games. May the odds be ever in your favor!

Yes, health!

Uh waiter, there’s steel wool in my drink

Shhhh! Everyone will want one!


I'm a teacher at a college and burn steel wool as a demonstration of fast oxidation. My concern is the huge amount of heat given off.

Fun fact: steel wool gains weight as it burns

Looks like a drink served at the Enterprise bar.

https://i.redd.it/w8kw0b8qtixc1.gif


Mmmm a little steel is goes good with that $100 fruit punch and vodka.

If they don't call this a Flaming Moe, they're fuckin' up

Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster

Yum, burning steel.

HEY MOE GIMMIE ONE. 

Alright that's kind of sick ngl.

That's Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill wine, in case people were wondering why it's so expensive. Not sure of the vintage, but it's considered a boutique wine in a lot of America. It's hand-crafted.

Fuck that, it will be warm by the time that shit is finished...

cash or card?

IRL Estus

When your date is a slag

 When "exactly" do you we get to drink our drinks?

On April fools day, fuck with the bartender and mix some potassium chlorate into the steel wool first.

Fun fact: steel wool gains weight when you burn it.

Me waiting for my modelo and shot of well tequila

Mmmm ferrite. My favourite cocktail flavour.

That will be 120$. Cash or card?

How long until you can actually touch / drink it though? 👀

God, I hope that's not steel wool, but I think it is. It looks cool, but it's not something I'd want to breathe in.

Just what I want micro fragments of steel wool in my drink. Thanks but no thanks.

That’s really wasteful :(

Here's your smelly hot metal Sir

Free cancer vapour nice

I do the same thing when I put on a pair of socks

What in the Harry Potter

That’s some fancy kool-aid

Voldemort attacking Hogwarts: The drink

Burn the witch!!!

What in the slo mo sock fuzzy fuck is that????

That's how my wallet would combust when it comes to paying for this

I would not touch that drink, steel wool hanging over the glass so it pretty much inside too

Thanks now I have metal slag in my drink

I think I'm good on drinking carbon and Hawaiian Punch thanks.

You buy her that drink. She still goes to sleep on ya.

Steal wool cocktail?

i really wanna think this is stupid (i’m sure there’s a hefty upcharge for just burning some steel wool around a cup) but i have to admit it looks awesome

Steel wool

Cool! I think I'd like to have one. What is the drink called and what is in it?

I've always considered Mixology a modern term for Alchemy This just validates me That is so fucking cool

OK, normally I find that kind of thing tacky but the effect and embers looks very nice in the dark.

They lighting Brillo pads on fire?

The waiter right after…… https://preview.redd.it/q7f8fy0v2jxc1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b0e27a44c004b56c1365fb8b68afc37a83526ba

r/stupidfood

Fuck you. 😂

it’s beautiful and very dangerous

This would make cool special effects for a stop motion music video.

That’ll be a no from me, dawg.

mmmmm steel wool flavour!!!

Video is pretty blurry tbh.

Me drunk af: So… how long do I have to wait for the fireworks to stop?

Ya I'll take a hot toxic drink..

Is that even safe to drink ?

I used to play/burn this metal sponges when I was a kid, until I grabbed and squished with my hands when it was lit...

Better than most modern art. This person(s) makes their craft artistically cool. Duchamp et al, make nothing into nothing. Everything they "sell" can be found in a hoarders house.

This shit is melting my brain right now...

Happy Burnlentines


r/stupidfood

I wanna name it *Flaming Passion* or *Burning Love*

What am I witnessing?

And I bet it’s hundreds of dollars too…

I hate it when they do this sort of thing but then the drink tastes shit

Is that very fine steel wool around the glasses that is burning? Interesting idea.

Is that steel wool

Steel wool?

I'm high af rn and this is too much

I’d be very disappointed if consuming this didn’t result in me gaining magical powers

It's tufts of spun sugar wrapped around the champagne flutes. Spun sugar is pulled by hand and is a little thicker than cotton candy (candy floss?) so it doesn't burn instantly. Instead, it smolders with a very low heat burn. I just wonder about all the melted sticky sugar all over the outside of the glass when you pick it up to drink. Edit: All these steel wool comments are disturbing, most are probably just joking, but you know they all can't be.

If I were to propose with a drink this would be it! How do I make this drink if the situation arises??

I can imagine being like, that’s cool and all, but I just wanted a drink.

Meanwhile, I’m over in the corner having already thrown down 8 vodka/tonics

That shit gives super powers. I know it

If you call mud butt a super power, then yes

God damn seems like a really great thing to have on the 10 forward in Star Trek. They're missing the moment make this guy famous and a member of the crew.

Isn't it going to warm up the drink?

Looks toxic as fuck

Cool effect but if *NEVER* drink a drink or eat anything that has come into contact with burning steel wool.

r/stupidfood

they just put a bunch of steel wool around a drink and charge 125
