7 of The Best Food-Related Moments in Muppet History

April 29, 2010 by Chris Durso

What started with a sock on his hand, Jim Henson eventually turned into a global empire that has created some of the greatest characters in history. There’s a good chance that anyone reading this article learned the alphabet from a giant bird or fuzzy monster that Henson created.

Today, Foodiggity will explore some great moments in Muppet history. We will stay specific to food, not only because we try to keep topics food-related, but it actually gives us a good opportunity to go back to the beginning—when Muppets shilled for food companies in order to pay the rent.

Is Tracy Jordan Responsible for the KFC Double Down?

April 27, 2010 by Chris Durso

In this episode of 30 Rock from Season 1 — while trying to promote his invention, The Meat Machine — Tracy Jordan may have unintentionally given KFC the idea for The KFC Double Down.

The Meat Machine’s slogan ‘Meat is the New Bread’ appears to come directly out of the Double Down’s own marketing strategy. However this episode of 30 Rock precedes KFC’s campaign by a good 3 years.

KFC even adopted the Dr. Spaceman theory that choosing more meat over bread was a healthier option. Perhaps KFC has a few graduates of Ho Chi Minh City School of Medicine on the payroll as well.

A Dose of Ephemera, Quisp Cereal

April 26, 2010 by Chris Durso

Originally released in 1965, Quisp was your typical kiddie-crack in corn cereal form. The cereal was named after its mascot, Quisp the Alien — a lovable, propeller-headed goofball with a severe speech impediment.

Quisp was discontinued in the late 70’s, but was reborn the following decade with limited distribution, and has since become an internet sensation.

Not long after this article was originally written, Quisp started showing up in limited release throughout the U.S. Are were you more of a Quake person?

'Andre with Cheeseburger', by Akira Beard
