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 !shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca!
(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.)

Why are these dogs so hexagonal. Could I get octagon dogs?
They are vacuum packed very closely and in large numbers so they get that shape by reducing the empty space between them. Kinda like honeycombs.
I see, octagonal dogs would only be possible with one thick dog surrounded by slimmer dogs with this process.
cylindrical cans on conveyors do the exact same thing. we usually call it "nesting", but I always explain the phenomenon with the honeycomb analogy.
a good amount of time and energy gets spent on figuring out how to prevent it, since the formation is incredibly stable, and difficult to move once it's settled.
Why would you want octagonal dogs? Hexagons are already the pinnacle of beauty.
