Personal headcanon: everyone wanted to eats the silmarils a little bit. They’re the ultimate forbidden magical gushers. Holy Tide Pods, if you will. Even the Valar have intrusive thoughts about chomping them.
food studies/sociology is fascinating bc of the obvious reasons but also because it is a relatively new field of study. it hasn't reeaaallly touched internet meme/fandom culture in a meaningful way yet and i just wonder: how far can we push it?
is it possible to look at the tidepod thing and discern certain things about the western consumption habits? what does an analysis of nbc hannibal within a food studies framework look like? would an examination of Jennifer's Body (2009) and the cannibalism therein shine a light on society's intermingled relationships with love and consumption?
well i don t know . these quastions will surely haunt us for generations to come and puzzle the minds of poets and gamers alike for centuries
Forbidden cronch. You know how goldfish go bloub bloub and put the gravel in their mouth and then spit it out? That's what I want in my life. A mouthful of wet, round, fishy gravel. I ate fish food (those little round things not the pallets) from time to time, but I can only dream of eating the fish's gravel.. unless

We’ve all seen it. You’re in a pet supply store, or at a friend’s shop, or at some restaurant or doctor’s office. You look around aimlessly, wandering bored and without meaning… and there it is. A fish tank.
Yes, the fish is cute. Yes, the tiny treasure chest and little boat are cool. Yes, there are fun bubbles. But that isn’t what catches your eye.
There, at the bottom of the fish tank, is gravel. Maybe it’s just one color. Maybe it’s just grey. But more likely than either of those is the chance that it’s bright, neon rainbow colors. It reminds you of the fruity pebbles cereal you were never allowed to eat as a kid. In one intense, all-consuming moment, you are faced with the truth: You. Must. Eat it.
And then your dog barks. Your friend talks to you. The doctor calls you in for your appointment. You tear your eyes away from the gravel, but it will always be there in your mind. There with you as you eat, taunting you with what could have been.
Anyway yeah vote aquarium gravel it looks yum
Tide pods:
We all remember the tide pod challenge
There’s literally a wikipedia article titled “Consumption of Tide Pods”
Looks chewy and it could explode in your mouth. Has fun colors too.
It was a popular delicacy a couple years ago yet also highly controversial. Everyone likee some good drama in a competition.
