MLB's Social Media Team Is Giving Us Some Concession Stand Monstrosities
We're in that weird period of the sports calendar just after the Major League Baseball All-Star Game during which time there is almost nothing happening in the sports world.
Teams are back in action on Friday, but the social media grind never stops, so the MLB Social Squad (they can have that name if they want it, it's okay with me) had to get creative.
So, they threw some highlights and some stuff to get people psyched about the final stretch to the postseason.
That's all well and good but there is still some space that needs to be filled so why not throw some absolutely monstrous concession stand offerings on the ol' timeline?
Well, that's what they did and they dropped a pair of doozies on an unsuspecting public.
First was something the Colorado Rockies are going to be cooking up for fans at Coors Field.
Ice cream spaghetti and meatballs, anyone?!
I don't know how to feel about this one. On one hand, it's probably delicious; on the other, it might be one of the most nonsensical things I've ever seen in my life.
First of all, how are you supposed to eat that? Fork? Spoon? Fold the plate in half and dump it into your stupid face?
And what's with the obsession with making ice cream versions of food? There's this, there's the famed Choco Taco… there are probably a bunch of others, but those are the only ones I could think of at the moment.
Still, it's completely absurd, but yes, I would still order it for science.
And speaking of tacos, we move a little east to check in on what the Royals have going on at Kauffman Stadium:
Now this… this is the final boss of concession grub.
The "Taste of the K Taco" is basically a bunch of foods from around the concession stand, literally rolled into one.
A hot dog swaddled in a cheeseburger quesadilla, with some barbecue brisket, French fries, lettuce and onions (to keep it healthy), Sriracha Cracker Jacks, and 816 Sauce (barbeque sauce).
There's just so much going on with that it seems like it would give your taste buds some kind of spiritual awakening. Like, it would expose you to flavors you didn't know were possible.
It will also overwhelm the plumbing at Kauffman Stadium. That's an old stadium, I don't know if it can handle more than a few people dealing with the aftermath of the "Taste of the K Taco" at once.
Godspeed to Kauffman Stadium and any of its guests who take a swing at the "Taste of the K Taco."
