Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Cracklin' Edition

Oh my god, that chocolate popcorn seems incredible. On the other hand, I like me some pork rinds but wet pork rinds sound like THE WORST.

Now I want to buy chocolate covered popcorn.

Yeah, didn't Jeff say he was going a few weeks ago?

There were some good bits in this mail bag. The patrick creme egg addict, southern man pork brad, black dog tax man

I like the Blueberry/blue Red Bull. I figure the Lime/silver Red Bull would work well in some kind of alcoholic mixture the likes of which I avoid (due to rampant alcoholism in my family, and having an addictive personality myself I avoid all alcohol).

Cadbury Creme Eggs are so fucking glorious.

@zmilla: And motherfucking Paul Newman! But seriously, I would pay an extra 50 bucks a year for a weekly filmcast. That bombcast they did early in the year when the gaming landscape was barren that basically turned into a Cronenbergcast was amazing, and made me sad I'm no longer in college with a gang to riff about movies with at any time.

DARK DOG.

Dark Dawwwg

They are the worst but they're also the best! Kind of like Gremlins 2.

bummed no one said "the raisenettes" is their new art rock outfit.

I'm in the UK and can confirm the chocolate popcorn is GREAT!

Oh. DARK DOG!

Yo the Vin-Dog is growing a sick ass mohawk fo-sho!

Lies! Outrageous!

Was that an LA Xtreme jersey Jeff is wearing? XFL for life.

Pork scratchings! I have 3 bags in my cupboard. So nice.

Well now I'm just watching men eat candy.

Crackling goes down a treat with a pint! Good shit

I had a bunch of creme eggs over Easter. I had a box of 6 plus 2 more that came from an egg. I like the bite the top off then suck out the gooey middle then just eat the empty chocolate shell.

I hadn't been to the supermarket in a while (since I don't usually need to), but when I did, I discovered that the 'Choc full of...' thing is apparently not just for popcorn, since chocolate covered pretzels are making their comeback too. Though the last time I had those, years ago in school, they were Nestlé rather than Cadbury. I prefer Cadbury chocolate, but I'm also not convinced they are actually pretzels and not just biscuit shaped into pretzels. They weren't as salty as I remember the old ones being.

Meeting about more video content? Sign me up.

Oh my god I never expected Jeff and Brad to be eating Mr Porky today.

Put it in your mouth.

Put it in your mouth.

Put it in your mouth.

Put it in your mouth.

This box is unacceptable.

Goddamnit, I just finished a packet of Mr.Porkey's, now I want another. THANKS GIANTBOMB!

Maybe they should just shoot everything they do with 3 different cameras and mic setups, and then upload the videos separately, and nobody will ever be starved for video content.

When did they change from scratchings to crackles? Crazy!

It's weird seeing them have UK snacks - I dont have any jealous feelings towards not getting to try it.

Red Bullion should be the name of an energy drink.

Jeff not wasting time with that Creme Egg. I've never eaten one whole like that in my life.

I muttered an audible "Jesus" when Jeff put that whole creme egg in his mouth. Also i have only had two packets of Mr Porky in my life and felt like i was going to die both times.. But man they are good.

Cracklin' Wednesdays ... make it happen.

Choc full of popcorn are great... I want some.

Real deal! Patrick seemed ecstatic and bewildered when he was offered a creme egg lol. Haven't had one of those in ages! Those pork cracklings actually sound quite nice, I'm a sucker for crispy animal skin!

I hate that he's got an LA Xtreme jersey and it is in better shape than mine.

im with jeff, caramel eggs are where it's at, one creme egg is enough to make you sick

He was definitely sporting a NY/NJ Hitmen jersey recently as well. Classic.

This is a good Mailbag. I like it when people don't go overboard with their offerings. You don't need to send fifty pounds of every single snack from the convenience store. Less overkill please.

Huh. I never noticed it before but Brad bears a striking resemblance to a young version of my father. This is very unsettling. O____O

Surprised the cream egg wasn't deep fried. The English love deep frying deserts about as much as we do with everything else.

@cthomer5000: i wear an XFL tv shirt to the gym and get weird looks. Of course that may just be my fat ass. One never knows.

"You think that would kill a man? 100 creme eggs?"

cream eggs and pork skins on the itinerary tomorrow. but first coffee.

Glad everyone enjoyed this and the guys kinda enjoyed the goods? Mr porkys I however dislike muchly, just thought it would be interesting to see if everyone else would feel the same...I was wrong

Interesting what dark dog actually tasted like, sounded bad ass so I bought it

brad wouldn't eat a whole hard boiled egg? has the man never been strapped for cash and hungry?

That feeling you get when you've had too many sweets... I just got that from watching this.

ahhh dark dog, one of the finest. That can design just screams BUY AND DRINK ME AND ENTER MY SURREAL WORLD.

Delicious. Also, if you want top notch pork scratchin's, go to the Czech Republic. They are the kings of scratchin's. Possibly. Maybe GB should host a pork scratching tournament? Ok.

The British Cadburys is the proper Cadburys

Chocolate covered popcorn looks amazing.

I remember we used to have Dark Dog in Norway...
