First the was the F-Bomb, and then the A-Bomb, now there is the C-Bomb! (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28844163/)


MEXICO CITY - Mexico has long been known for tacos and tequila — but cheesecake?

Chef Miguel Angel Quezada says 55 cooks spent 60 hours making the world's biggest cheesecake — a 2-ton calorie bomb topped with strawberries.

The monster cake used nearly a ton of cream cheese, the same amount of yogurt, 350 kilograms (772 pounds) of pastry, 250 kilograms (551 pounds) of sugar and 150 kilograms (331 pounds) of butter.

Carlos Martinez of Guinness World Records declared the cheesecake the world's largest on Sunday at an event sponsored by Kraft Foods, maker of Philadelphia cream cheese.

There wasn't much competition. Guinness had no previous record for cheesecakes.

Organizers gave out 20,000 slices around Mexico City.

I bet Mexico plans on dropping hundreds or thousands of these on the US, thereby making us all too obese to stop them when they invade!

Hear hear!

This must be the latest step in a program that's been going on for years.

I'm fairly certain that we're already too obese to stop any incursions across the border. This cheesecake is just the icing on the...cake.

My metaphors fail.

Oh come on, its a big fat opportunity.

Why wasn't I invited? :(

'Cause you didn't RSVP.

This is too rich.

Those Mexicans really got our number don't they? Crafty. Pretty soon we'll find tunnels under the border used to illegally traffic confections.

When the druglords start investing in bakeries, that's the sign to be very afraid.

Yeah, most cheesecake I come across is too rich, but maybe these guys made it just right.

'Cause you didn't RSVP.

I thought it was some kind of trap. Non Aligned States has tried that on me several times.

strawberries? on the cheesecake?!! way to go and ruin a perfectly good dessert :(

Perhaps it was. I know one of the motivators was mud...

This is madness.

Madness?

THIS IS TARTA!

Why wasn't I invited? :(
Because they didn't want anybody jumping into the damned thing and rolling around, flinging bits of cream cheese at the other spectators.

Cheescake is perfectly fine without strawberries or cherries. The original is always the best when it comes to food ;)

Oh come on LG, give me a little credit. If it was a trap, it would feature one of your lifes necessities. Like booby trapped mud.

You're the sort of person who doesn't like ice cream cake, aren't you?

I've never had the pleasure of trying one.

I dont think theyre really as good as it sounds....

I mean, the cake part is usually frozen to accommodate the Iced Cream...

and when it thaws it gets all soggy....I prefer to just get some cake, and get some Ice Cream, and mix the two, lol...

But, really nothing beats a good Cheesecake, or Pecan and/or Caramel Pie, lol....

I don't know, double dark chocolate cake with a tab of vanilla ice cream with a spoonful of coco dusted around it is awfully good :)

You just made my arteries harden with your post. Good show I say...

Pfft. I only see Weapons of Mass Consumption here. :tongue:

Regardless it is quite clear that we need to invade and prevent these Mexicans from using this devastating device!

Either they ship it over and we eat it here, or we invade and eat it there. Either way, we lose.

It's the ultimate foe.

I only request that I be at the forefront of the reaction/invasion force.

Its my patriotic duty.

This is where we mention that the first wave will be drowned in the Rio Grande to form bridges for our tanks.

Did I say first wave? I obviously meant that someone of my superior intellect and charisma would be best suited to provide tactical advice from way behind in the rear.

Yeah, but then you're going to miss out on the cake.

Join the CIA's SAD, and go in before the first wave. You'll get first shot at the cheesecake.

Also, you'll probably be killed during a prison uprising, but that's the price we pay.

Well one can never really go wrong with dark chocolate.
