A few days ago I was eating my Fish 'n' Chips from Captain D's, and as usual I threw aside the pukey Fancy Ketchup and whatever that other abominable sauce is that they pack with it. But then it suddenly occurred to me to wonder how many other people simply throw away all those putrid condiments that fast-food places pack with their meals? Surely nobody actually puts that stuff on their food! If most people are like me, then it can be shown that Americans throw away enough food every day to feed the rest of the world. What if we all took the stuff we normally throw away and donate it to the starving children in (INSERT FAVOURITE COUNTRY HERE)? We could solve the world hunger crisis with throwaways from junk food! We could call it... JUNK AID! Sure, we may not like it, and it may not be extremely nutritous by itself. But those poor starving people have to subsist on wheat and rice and other primitive foods, and these little ketchup and sauce containers could really help make that food more palatable, if nothing else. And many things we throw away are nutritious in themselves. How many times have you ordered fries and walked away with an armload of ketchup that weighed more than the fries, and had to throw most of it away, or leave it on the table at the fast-food place for someone's little kids to pick up and spurt at each other? What a waste! I propose that we start a list of things we could donate to our favourite starving countries. Things we get with our fast food, or get free in the mail, that we just throw away cold-heartedly. I'll start it out with the stuff I throw away: (1) Fancy Ketchup from Captain D's (2) Abominable sauce from Captain D's (3) Fork and napkin from various places (I eat with my hands and lick my fingers) (4) Horsey Sauce from Arby's (Yucch!) (5) Fries from Mrs. Winner's (Virtually inedible, but comes with most dinners, and might be acceptable if you're starving) (6) Parsely or kale from Shoney's (7) The awful "snacks" they serve you on airlines (8) The awful "dinners" they serve you on airlines (9) The skin off your baked potato (10) New Coke (They pass this off on you when you order a drink at most fast-food joints, and by the time you discover the switch it's too late. Save that Coke! Starving people need to drink too!) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Kirby ( ...!ihnp4!akgub!cylixd!dave) (The views expressed herein do not necessarily reflect those of RCA Cylix.

They're the only ones I've ever had that are actually improved by ketchup. And how about cole slaw in a little plastic cup from almost anywhere?

How about those potatoes (and gravy?) from KFC. Now I like KFC chicken, but wouldn't (or maybe just might) be caught dead eating those fake potatoes. -- This .signature file intentionally left blank.

My friends and I were returning from a fraternity gathering in Los Angeles, and we stopped at an Arby's to get some food for the road. One of my traveling companions snagged a container of this 'stuff', and as we drove through the Santa Monica mountains, he sprayed other cars with it (my apologies if any of you out there were victims of this). Well, of course my car got sprayed with this, and when I attempted to wash it the next day, I found that this Horsey Sauce left a very pernacious residue on my paint job that refused to come off, even after 10 washings over a 2-1/2 month period. It eventually wore down, and today I can just barely tell that it was even there. I suspect that the residue was probably due to guar gum. Anyone else have theories to its real formula??? sam mccall -- =============================================================================== Sam A.

The active ingredient in Horsey Sauce is obvious - casein - made from ground horses' hooves, of course. Which explains why the Horsey Sauce glued itself to your car. +++ Larry Lippman @ Recognition Research Corp., Clarence, New York +++ +++ UUCP {decvax,dual,rocksanne,rocksvax,watmath}!sunybcs!kitty!larry +++ +++ VOICE 716/741-9185 {rice,shell}!baylor!/ +++ +++ FAX 716/741-9635 {AT&T 3510D} syr!buf!/ +++ +++ TELEX 69-71461 ansbak: ELGECOMCLR {via WUI} ihnp4!/ +++ +++ +++ +++ "Have you hugged your cat today?" +++
