Video Thing: Surströmming

Judging by a few comments made by Swedish members, that Surstrômming was waaay past it's prime. Did anyone end up getting sick from it? 

Finally, they opened it. Been waiting for ages

woohoo, swedish! yeah surströmming sucks

Can we get a medical update on Drew and Kessler?  I don't have high hopes.

I am from Sweden and even i would never touch that stuff. I know some northern people that actually eat that stuff and they all say that sourcream,hard bread and red unions is an absolute must, and to do it without beer is just silly.

( also i suspect lots of vodka is involved...)

Oh god, after hearing about this can for so long I don't think I can watch anyone eat that thing. Christ.

eew...

How long has this can been a fixture of the GB office, because it keeps getting mentioned as if it had been around for a while and yet I can't remember having heard about it before even though I listen to each Bombcast?

- Wait, wait a minute. Kessler is the intern, we can make him do it!
- Oh shit.

yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy

lol i bet they cut the part where matt refused to eat it then everyone else were like: DO IT OR YOU'RE FIRED

I just re-watched all the video things. We need more.

Man, I wish they'd bring back the Video Thing. It was one of my favourite features on the site.

Oh man, I could almost smell the disgusting looking fish through my computer screen!

This was back then when this site reported on stuff that really mattered, the good not so old days.

Totally forgot this existed, what a nice surprise.

Damn, unprofessional Friday was coined all the back then.

I love Kessler for this.

Ryan's joyful disgust and disgusting joy at horrible things like this was a treasure.

Happy anniversary!

Ryan

True Dexter Morgan Drew.

This is probably my favorite food. And i am not kidding!

Crazy to think that they weren't even in that office for 2 years. They did so much awesome stuff there. The glory days.

Somehow Kessler has had this but has never eaten a grilled cheese.

Still disgusting, still great.

I miss Ryan.

the OG unprofessional fridays,

miss Ryan.

I fucking forgot about this.

Kessler ate this, but struggled with a fucking banana? What the hell.

I love you jerks

I truly cannot believe Kessler had a taste

@the_nubster: I think this was the turning point. No more experimenting with food. Even a little.

I didn't know this video existed until now, and I legitimately cannot fucking believe Kessler didn't quit on the spot throwing up double deuces and yelling "fuuuuuuuuuuck yaaaaaaa'llllllllll".

One of the best moments to ever be recorded on Giant Bomb

These memories man.

Ten years later and I can still virtually taste this.

This is still absolutely hilarious.

I still love this! Drew is such a champ, he never backed out of trying anything food wise :D

There he goes. Matt Kessler. America's sweetheart.

Never forget.
