FuBeLa - Our Favorite Cereals
play

How To Find Your Favorite Cereal

When it comes to cereals, there are countless ones to choose from. Years ago we made an attempt to rank the best cereals, but at the end of the day it's about personal preferences. The first question you need to ask yourself: "How much sugar do you want?" Some people go HAM with the sugar, others save the sugar for their coffee and eat boring cereals. Next up is asking yourself "how fast do I eat cereal?" If you are a slow eater, you'll need cereal with integrity: it doesn't get soggy quickly.

The final round of cereal decision making centers around function and nostalgia. Sometimes we can't say no to that cereal we ate as a kid, or wished we could eat and now can buy as an adult. When it comes to function, it's about your diet. Do you need protein? Are are your poops? Do you need cereal to help you pushing out some turds? These are the main questions a consumer needs to consider after factoring in nostalgia, sugar, and cereal integrity.

FuBeLa - Best Pasta Shapes

06/16/20 • 53 min

Best Pasta Shapes Ranked

Our fans did not disappoint with their reasoning and responses. After tallying the votes, here is the list of top pastas:

  • Bowtie
  • Fusilli
  • Shells
  • Angel Hair
  • Penne

Pretty much every type of pasta got some love. Some sleeper hits that didn't make it to the top of the votes included bucatini. If it was more popular, this pasta would have had a good chance at taking it down. As for honorable mentions, Star Wars Mac and Cheese got some love. Our personal favorite from the poll was Spencer's Gifts Penis and Boob Pasta.

FuBeLa - Chick-fil-a Vs Wendy's
play

09/08/20 • 61 min

Wendy's Dominates Once Again

Our poll demonstrated that people really care a corporation's values. Since Chick-fil-a has openly donated funds to some heinous organizations that spread hate, CFA got slammed in our polls. Wendy's has been under fire for things before, but the same evidence doesn't exist against the Sassy Twitter Clapbacker as does the cows with their broken English. Also many commentors spoke up against the waffle fries, and championed Wendy's for a better spicy chicken sandwich. If Chick-fil-a can't care for all humans plus lose a chicken category, then it's an easy win for Wendy's.

Our Fans Have Incredible Taste In Chips

Shout out to all the people of the FuBeLa Nation. Ya'll did incredible in this poll. The clear winners were Kettle Cooked Chips and Doritos. Some other wild flavors made their way to the top, but they couldn't dethrone these behemoths of the chip game. The best wild flavor is probably Coney Island Hot Dog with Mustard Potato Chips. Such an intriguing and specific flavor. Did they accomplish it? For one of our fans, the answer was a resounding "yes".

FuBeLa - How To Order 69,420 Calories
play

02/09/21 • 47 min

How To Order Calories at Ruby's Diner

First and foremost you will need a big appetite, money in the bank, and plenty of time to eat. Also having a Ruby's Diner near you is helpful. The magic number of 69,420 calories in one order comes from a special combination of 73 menu items. You'll need to average about 3 of each breakfast, and double of most sandwiches and entrees. Just one of each of the salads, since they don't really add much besides more chewing. If you have someone cut up the salads with scissors to do some pre-chewing for you, then it might be worth; however, deviating from this list could mess up the math.

FuBeLa - Celebratory Food
play

Best Celebratory Food

What foods are at the top of the list when it comes to party time? We asked our listeners, and here are the most popular answers:

  • 7 Fishes
  • Steak
  • Sausages
  • Homemades
  • BBQ
  • Sushi

The food you choose really depends on the occasion and how many people you intend to feed. BBQ could work great for a backyard cookout with a bunch of people. Steak is probably received for the core squad in the immediate family. Overall the 7 fishes was cited the most in our poll.

FuBeLa - Juice is so Codependent

Juice Is There To Help Us Express Our Deepest Desires

Juice really lets a person become free, to express their full person. It has this power if you are also on drugs, or had a sick high roll out the womb with great mental health. For most of us, juice does not provide these benefits. Instead it's a drink with consume at the right time in the right place.

From our poll, people seemed to like a variety of cool juices. It was spread across pretty even, and there was no clear winner. Honestly the winner was the human race, because it would be a sad existence if we never figured out how to juice.

FuBeLa - Best Canned Food
play

03/10/20 • 55 min

Top Ranked Canned Food

There is a wide range of canned foods to choose from. It really depends on your preference and upbringing. Most of the people in our social media poll chose Chef Boyardee products, because of the nostalgia factor. Many contributors to the poll nominated niche products, like particular banned of canned tuna or fried rice. The best suggestion from a comedy perspective was the canned sandwiches. That's right. You can get a PB&J or a honey BBQ chicken sandwich right out of a can! Quite a beautiful world we live in.

Here's a quick list of the top ranked canned foods from our poll:

  • Chef Boyardee
  • SpagettiOs
  • Tuna
  • Beans
  • Tomatoes
  • Pineapples
  • Beer

For real, beer is an amazing answer to this poll. If more people considered beer a food, this would probably win outright.

The Fans Make It Possible

Special thank you to everyone that made this episode possible. The fans of Full Belly Laughs (aka the citizens of the FuBeLa Nation) really make these polls fun. Thank you!

Ice Cream Cake Is the Best Cake

Is it technically a cake? Probably not, but it doesn't matter. The people have spoken, and they pick ice cream cake more than any other cake (according to our social poll). Some other fun choices include a simple chocolate cake and jello funfetti madness (honestly not sure about this cake).

FuBeLa - Favorite Pies
play

07/14/20 • 50 min

Our Top Picks For Best Pies

The fans did not disappoint with their top picks for pies. According to the votes, here is the list of best pies:

  • Warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream
  • Pecan pie
  • Chicken Pot Pie
  • Pizza
  • Lemon meringue pie
  • HOT blueberry pie

Many other received some love in the polls, but didn't reach a significant number of votes (example: strawberry rhubarb pie). If you want to interpret this question broadly, pizza is probably the true best answer. We would happily give up pies forever to keep pizza. Assuming we keep the conversation to dessert pies only, warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream was the clear winner.

The #FBLRecommendation this week is Hikaru Nakamura.
