Ed! Eats Things

11.7.11|Ostrich Jerky

Recap:  As it is nearing the season of insane electoral politics, fact checking has become the modus operandi for many a news website.  We here at Ed! Eats Things believe that no one is immune from being vetted.  This includes of course, Ed!  So, here we go.

1.  The Ed! Eats Things apartment hasn’t been cleaned in 5 years. 

This unfortunately, is mostly true.  What can we say, we’re dudes.

2.  Other Ed estimates that [the ostrich jerky] is about a year old.

False.  Other Ed is a moron that can’t count.  Said jerky is in fact about 3 years old.  We’re very happy that Ed! didn’t die after eating it.  Also, in Other Ed’s defense, he didn’t think Ed! would actually eat it.  But, refer to above moron comment. 

3.  Jerky goes bad.

True.  Beware the false sense of security you get from cured meats people.  

4.  Potassium sorbate caused the confusingly chocolatey taste.

Probably false.  The deep 5 minute research the team did on this matter revealed only indications of a bubble-gum like aroma and flavor.  This wonderful compound is probably the reason Ed! didn’t die after eating 3 year old jerky.

5.  Ed! actually owns those tie-dyed pants.

True.  

Verdict:  We need to clean our apartment more often.  Or less often.  Whatever.
