Original Sack Lunch

The Deerfield (Michigan) Testicle Festival is a fundraiser for American Legion Post 392 that’s been held every March for over two decades, started by some folks with a great sense of humor. 

They buy hundreds of pounds of Rocky Mountain Oysters—deep-fried bull testicles—every year, a few volunteers cook them up a day or two before the event, and they serve them on a first-come-first-serve basis

Shelf Life

Will Twinkies last forever? 

This is the iconic shelf stable baked good that was made popular during WW2 via a substitution of bananas for a cream-like filling. The rationing of all food during the war, including bananas, lead to major shortages. Some folks went 6 years without eating a banana during that time. After the war? They kept it as the cream filling because they sold way more and it became the most popular and loved shelf stable baked good of all time.
