Yes, 1994 was a year that was full of surprises, political struggles, and cultural revolutions. However, any of these type of things pale in comparison to the ultimate event of 1994.
That's right, Frito-Lay introduced Flamin' Hot Funyuns to the consuming public. I'm sure many people have had the privilege of enjoying a flamin' hot snack food in their lifetime. Many people have tried Flamin' Hot Fries, or Chester's Flamin' Hot Cheetos and I'm sure many of these same people yearned for the Funyun variation.
In 1994, these people's dreams finally came true as Frito-Lay merged the power of Flamin' Hotness with the mouth-watering onion force of Funyuns. The result was nothing short of the garden of Eden itself in bag form, waiting to burst upon your taste buds like a tsunami of flaming onions.
Unfortunately, this legendary snack-food did not make it out of 1994. It was put to rest along with Kurt Cobain, as two legendary figures of a great era.
You will be hard-pressed to find someone 10 years later who has ever tasted these delights, or even someone who has seen a bag. Many people believe Flamin' Hot Funyuns to be a myth, but they existed and there exist a handfull of people today who have eaten them and will tell you, "they are good."
The only other documentation on the internet of Flamin' Hot Funyuns besides this post (as far as I can tell):

I thought it was pretty funny... just, because it was stupid.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
94 was the year I could legally buy booze though, happy days.

We will just call this post an experiment. I will see who gives this a -2 while giving JMG's ode to the Cadbury Egg a +2. Draw your own conclusions.

What is it with Southerners and their spicy food snobbiness? I never said that these were too hot to handle.

Not introduced in the South? Probabaly becaue the South could not even feel the burn. Ever tried Aunt Joanie Maye's Burnnnin' Cajun Sauce? I think not.

dude, I didn't even notice that rating on my interview. I hadn't even looked back on it until now. Claiming retaliation is pretty paranoid of you.
You are hypercritical of other people's writings, then you posted about 1994 being the year of the flaming funyun or whatever. I just thought it was lame, that's all.
Keep your pants on. I like most of your writing.
And... random joe, that -2 was the opposite of hand holding on Ubersite. wal mart is oldschool. This whole hand holding thing blows my chips... do you think I called Tom?
Tom: Hello?
Jeremy: It's Razor! Hey!
Tom: (laughing like a nerd) What's up sharpie?!?
Jeremy: Someone just had the gall to give me a zero! Go -2 their post and give them the fucking smackdown!
Tom: As you command, oh great one.
This is the stupidest shit I've ever heard.

uh oh, looks like you've run afoul of the hand-holding gang. That -2 b.s. they cry about is exactly what's wrong with this site. You sir, get a plus two (even though it doesn't count).

As for Tom, he just hates me. I can accept that. And by accept, I mean I really don't care one way or another.

Razor is just pissed at me because I called him out on his own post (Interview with JohnGalt) with this zinger:

It appears you can now give blowjobs through IM. Technology has cum so far!"
I thought it was pretty funny, but apparently Razor is not secure enough with his sexuality to just let it go as a joke.
No hard feelings.

I do concur, Flamin' Hot Funyuns are enough to make 1994 the greatest year ever!
Funyuns suck dude. End of story.

Angry reviews? I am assuming you are talking about your post which I reviewed a few minutes ago. It wasn't even angry, it was a joke. I gave you a zero! How is that angry?
