Welcome to Food Crimes! This community is here to collect all and any post about cursed food and generally unusual consumables.
Right now, here’s the rules:
- Posts must include an image or video containing food or drink.
- It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.
- No AI posts whatsoever, and any images that were altered (Ex: Photoshop, Gimp) need to be tagged.
How to tag:
To tag your posts, please prepend or append the tag name inside square brackets. For example,[OC] Foo bar baz or foo bar baz [Meta] would be acceptable. Multiple tags will require separate pairs of brackets, like so: [Edited][OC] foo bar baz
Here are the current tags:
- Edited - The image was manipulated with editing software.
- OC - You made this cursed food yourself!
- Meta - Relating to the community itself.
Finished checking out all the posts here? Also checkout [email protected]!
(BTW, I’m looking for someone to help mod here! I myself would not be enough if this community goes beyond a few posts a day.)

How likely is that thing gonna catch fire when the meat render out the fat 🤔
A grease fire in an electric toaster? Nothing a bowl of water couldn't cure. /s
(/s because it would explode and could electrocute you at the same time)
It's best to submerge it completely. A bathtub is the easiest option for most people.
WTF is the point of making a joke, putting an idiot-"s" then a disclaimer?
If someone takes you seriously that's a Darwin award waiting to happen and the human race will improve slightly
I used to hate the /s but we live in a global world where there may be young people and non native english speakers reading these comments. What is an obvious sarcastic joke to you and I might get lost in translation and on a case like this where actual fatal consequences could follow the joke being misunderstood there's no harm in the community self policing a little to help keep everyone safe and in the loop.
As an ex-young person and a non native english speaker, definitely agree. Back when I was younger and on Reddit I have missed satire on many different jokes cause the intentions of commenters would be hard to deduce.
Thankfully I wasn’t stupid enough to do something like put out an electric fire with water, but there has most definitely been a case of someone killing themselves because they couldn’t tell whether a comment was a joke or not.
Christ what a boring world
It's much more fun when no one understands it's a joke. /s btw
At the risk of getting obliterated with down votes like you are, I enjoyed your perspective and agree with you at the surface level.
Yes!
Why would it catch fire in a toaster but not under a grill where there's an actual flame?
You'd never get that toaster clean again, but I'm not sure it would catch fire.
FYI, the fat dripping from steak does actually cause flare ups and sometimes even sustained flames in grills. This isn't dangerous in a grill because it's designed to cook with fire at high temps. But it can ruin your steak if you aren't paying attention.
Would a toaster get hot enough to render fat?
