I absolutely love opening them. You never know if it will do a big pop or a little pfft. Nice little surprise.

My wife sometimes buys it and forgets to tell me and about 3-4 hrs later a resounding pop will emit from the shopping bag.

So if you peel it too much it will sometimes pop while peeling.

If you don't peel it enough and wack it on the counter, it won't pop. So then you try peeling it again.

Sometimes that will make it pop. Sometimes not.

It's the unpredictability of the damn things.

Autism.

I don't think I knew these existed. Thanks 👍

I've always loved karate chopping them open, and yeah, giving a big ole "hiiii-yaaa!" basically fixed the jump scare.

When my mom was a kid, the house next door exploded from a gas leak. Killed everyone inside and her trauma from that made her have to leave the room when I, the assigned can popper, popped one of these open. Same with balloons, anything with a loud, sudden noise.

PTSD is real, yo. That shit lasts a whole lifetime.

I always wanted to take this and Operation apart to find a way of combining them to make the "punishment" of failing Perfection more intense. I never had Operation and thought it actually shocked you.

Omg.

No. I would not.

Yeah, it's carbs on carbs, no nutrients or fiber to be found. They're really dangerous, I don't allow myself to cook them because I'd probably eat the whole tube in one sitting

These were great when I was a kid. Same with the cinnamon rolls. I didn't know how good real biscuits were.

Got one on a whim a while back and it was beyond disgusting. Tasted like what a machine thinks a picture of a cinnamon roll might taste like.

Yeah they definitely have added sugar

Imagine bread dough, but it's more like a slightly pressurized paste in a cardboard tube

I'm pretty sure most Europeans would burn you at the stake for crimes against bread

It's premade dough that cooks into biscuits. But not the cookie sweet kind.

American biscuits which are mostly just butter and flour. They are pretty good fresh. Like muffins but get dry and stale fast. Like muffins.

Part of the prep (if you are making home made,) is rolling the dough out and layering/folding it over and over.

So the biscuits pull apart easily. Like in the direction of hamburger buns. Making it easy to turn them into little breakfast sandwiches.

Where I'm from, in the Midwest, it's very popular to eat them with sausage gravy. Just the biscuits and gravy. Nothing else.

Used to be cheap to make at home and even cheap at restaurants.

A lot of (all?) 24 hr tuck stop restersunts serve them. So it's also popular with drunk people at 3 am.

(Truck stop restaurants are usually small dinners attached to gas stations. Usually outside city limits. That are open 24 hrs to serve truckers. But also popular with night people. Sometimes they even have showers. )

I remember reading a story about someone that called 911 from their car thinking they had been shot and their brain was leaking out. Turned out some biscuits had violently popped, threw one at the back of their head, and when it hit they instinctively grabbed for it, and were holding the biscuit against their head, convinced it was their brain matter.

It was purported as true at the time, but I have a lot of doubts -- probably just one of the many urban legends that got passed around last century.
