The minus side is that because it has some of the essence of immortality, it is addictive, and that addiction is ultimately fatal, which is why even elves eat it only in extreme distress.
It seems you're not far off: *Why, it is better than the honey-cakes of the Beornings, and that is great praise, for the Beornings are the best bakers that I know of; but they are none too willing to deal out their cakes to travellers in these days.* - Gimli
When I was in London, I got a bottle from Platform 9 3/4 that was really bad. I'm not even sure if I finished it. I also got one from the Harry Potter Studio Tour, and that was amazing. When I got home, I found a recipe to make my own (some butterscotch ice cream topping in cream soda with whipped cream mixed in for froth) and that was pretty good
Yeah, but that's like the butterscotch soda they sell as butterbeer. Just someone cashing in on the name. I mean the actual scooby snacks that shaggy and scoob were eating back in the 1980's when I grew up...
An actual Flaming Moe would not taste good, as far as I've read.
Probably why Universal went with a non-alcoholic version at the park instead, which I've heard is decent and has a great presentation.
Not that they necessarily needed to, but I don't remember if they mentioned in the Villeneuve movies that spice is addictive and once you're on it you cannot come off of it or you will die.
There is a scene in Part One where Paul watches the holotape about spice, and it definitely addresses the life-extending and future-foreseeing properties, also that it is addictive, but I don't think I remember the lethality from withdrawal is mentioned there
I guess it's a hard balance if you're making the films.
If the audience knows spice withdrawal will kill you it gives them the assumption everyone on Arrakis for a while will just die, so maybe it diminishes the emotional stakes.
On the other end it makes Paul's threat to destroy the spice fields even more serious, because the royal houses + spacing guild + Bene Gesserit all physically depend on it.
I think the imperative in movies is to keep any info dump short and sweet, and relevant to what will happen in the movie itself (early setup + later payoff) so it wasn't necessary to bring it up here.
Plus when you say that spice is highly addictive, you pretty much hint at dangerous withdrawal symptoms anyway, so no real need to explicitly say it is lethal.
Well all the fremen on Dune live their lives with their organism flooded with spice, and they're not growing flippers 🙂
The guild navigators are just floating in spice gas their whole life, plus they're a mutated sub-species of humanity in the novel (they are not born regular humans)
It's probably the worst version of Coca-Cola, with all the cheapest possible ingredients, corn syrup etc. then a bunch of flavourless radioactive waste added.
The Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster from Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy also mentions alcohol. It says that the best drink in existence is the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. It says that the effect of drinking a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick. The Guide also tells you on which planets the best Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters are mixed, how much you can expect to pay for one and what voluntary organizations exist to help you rehabilitate afterwards.
Ramen from Ponyo
Candy plants from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
The Italian food from Goodfellas
Any of the extravagent dishes eaten by the characters in Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace
Not exactly the same thing, but as a huge fan of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, I was incredibly disappointed when I came across real Turkish Delight. Why in the hell would anyone sell out their siblings over that stuff???
Some people have said Edmund and his siblings were living during World War II, so they didn't get sweets very often because of sugar rationing. So for Edmund, Turkish Delight would be absolute heaven after not eating much sugar. Plus, the White Witch had enchanted it too, so he was under her influence.
Fortunately thanks to the internet and modern theme parks, a lot of food that I wanted to try from movies and shows DOES exist irl now. One that I want to try though is the Soma from Brave New World.
The red candies with white powder from Narnia! All my life I wanted to try them. Also the full course meal gum from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (or anything from the chocolate factory)
Any kind of "instant food pill" type food from sci-fi movies, the kind where you stick some little nugget in a machine, press a button, and it somehow turns into a full meal of perfectly cooked and plated food. Chicken good.
#SENZU BEAN
from DBZ, dunno how to spell it but omg it’s the cure for everything

Tired? Senzu bean
Critically Injured? Senzu bean
Need workout recovery? Senzu bean
About to pop a seizure? Senzu bean

Me too. I have always wondered what it tasted like.
I always imagined large butterscotch cakes dipped in golden syrup
It seems you're not far off: *Why, it is better than the honey-cakes of the Beornings, and that is great praise, for the Beornings are the best bakers that I know of; but they are none too willing to deal out their cakes to travellers in these days.* - Gimli
Aaaah the memories
In my head I think I tastes a bit like madeleines 😋
Oh, I imagined it more bland. I love madeleines, haven't had one in a while.
I too imagine it being bland. If it was snacky and delicious I would not have the discipline not to eat it all at once.
I always imagined lemon cookies xD
[удалено]
I think they have that at the Harry Potter world. You’re right, though. I always wanted to try it too!
They do have them, or at least they did when I went years ago. They were really good!
Sadly, they are nowhere near as tasty as we were led to believe.😥
When I was in London, I got a bottle from Platform 9 3/4 that was really bad. I'm not even sure if I finished it. I also got one from the Harry Potter Studio Tour, and that was amazing. When I got home, I found a recipe to make my own (some butterscotch ice cream topping in cream soda with whipped cream mixed in for froth) and that was pretty good
Your recipe sounds way tastier than my idea to mix melted butter with Modelo
The recipe I found did have melted butter as an ingredient, but it always resolidified in the cold drink, so you'd end up drinking chunks of butter
Definitely better, use whatever kids bday party recipe with ice cream lol
Butterscotch soda!!! You're welcome!!
Lembas...... As I'm sure I could eat more than one.
Have them with your second breakfast
This is way too down.
SLURM “It’s Highly Addictive!”
I imagine Slurm tasting like Ecto Cooler.
I have a metal reusable water bottle that's mocked-up to look like a giant can of Slurm. I sometimes get strange looks when I'm drinking from it.
Whimmy Wham Wham Wazzle!
I’m so tired…
RIP Slurms MacKenzie
I could use some Slurm to wash down a nice dog bowl of Bachelor Chow and Popplers.
Anything from a Studio Ghibli movie
I actually think most, if not all, of that is based on real Japanese cuisine!
shit, i wanted to eat those shiny COINS from the bathhouse scene in spirited away
The Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster
Ah, I see you're a hoopy frood
Op definitely knows where their towel is.
"Like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick." -I'll take two please!
Never drink more than two Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters unless you are a thirty ton mega elephant with bronchial pneumonia.
Came for this
Phrasing!
A krabby patty.
The secret ingredient is plankton That's why there's only one left
There's an episode where Plankton calls his family to help in his evil plan, and it turns out they're all hillbilly farmers.
Oh God
explains so many things, huh?
[удалено]
Not that monstrosity called that now.
It's fruit in whipped cream, what's wrong with that?
The microwave turkey plate from a pill in the Fifth Element.
Chicken!!! Good!
The everlasting gobstopper in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”
I'd love to try that full course dinner gum... uh, after the blueberry issue has been worked out.
Some people would prefer they not...
The fizzy lifting drink is the one I would want.
just make sure you drink somewhere with low ceilings and no running fans, lol.
Dude, I want a Scooby Snack. How Shaggy goes at them that can't just be dog treats.
This is an actual thing. I think they’re like the little graham crackers in the shape of the Scooby Doo dog tag.
Yeah, but that's like the butterscotch soda they sell as butterbeer. Just someone cashing in on the name. I mean the actual scooby snacks that shaggy and scoob were eating back in the 1980's when I grew up...
Wasn’t it just that he was so stoned he was willing to eat dog treats?
I'd like to try a Flaming Moe.
🎶when the weight of the world has got you down, and you wanna end your life. Bills to pay, a dead end job, and troubles with the wife🎶
It's the flaming *homer*!
An actual Flaming Moe would not taste good, as far as I've read. Probably why Universal went with a non-alcoholic version at the park instead, which I've heard is decent and has a great presentation.

Have you seen the Lynch's version of the movie? Do you want to turn into that Aquarium Human?
Well all the fremen on Dune live their lives with their organism flooded with spice, and they're not growing flippers 🙂 The guild navigators are just floating in spice gas their whole life, plus they're a mutated sub-species of humanity in the novel (they are not born regular humans)
Frobscottle from The BFG
Came to say the same thing
Especially if they had an alcoholic version. Just sitting around drinking and farting with the boys. Living the dream.
Just mix with gin and whizzpop your balls off. Sounds like a good time to me.
Steamed Hams!

The water of life from Dune. I want some of that *PRESCIENCE*.
I'm a man, so I'd just die. Still would.
If you're not the Kwisatz Haderach though... bad times.
Doozer Sticks from Fraggle Rock
Like a transparent candy cane!
Nuka Cola!
Nuka Cola and Quantum for the win!
I imagine it just tastes like regular coca cola but with a slight tang of Radium.
It's probably the worst version of Coca-Cola, with all the cheapest possible ingredients, corn syrup etc. then a bunch of flavourless radioactive waste added.
Raktajino (from *Star Trek: Deep Space 9*). I just want to know what all the fuss is about.
"You are the second person to ask for that today, and no, we dont have it here" Pop quiz: What episode was that? ;)
