If you haven’t been able to tell over the past two years of this blog, I am terrible at making decisions. I can never decide which criminal is more dumb, which video is more awesome, or which smuggling cavity is more disgusting. I always need input from you, my fantastic readers, and this Which is Weirder: Food Edition, is no exception.

First we have a fast food oddity from overseas, The Darth Vader burger, from Europe, a strange, black-bunned sandwich created in celebration of the rerelease of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (is anyone excited for that?) in 3D (no really, ANYONE?). Fast food chain “Quick” will sell the burgers now through March 1st, although I can’t imagine anyone genuinely ordering a burger that looks like its bun has been in the over for 12 weeks.

Now for a some weirdness from our side of the pond: Maple Bacon Ale, a beer made through a collaboration of Rogue Brewery and Portland’s famous Voodoo Doughtnut shop. The beer, which costs a pricey $13 per 750 ml, has not been received with the most excited reviews, with tasters saying it “generally tastes like a dirty, ashy smoked beer,”  and that “the smoke flavor, along with fatty hits of unwanted bacon, dominate.” Eesh, no thank you! However, I admit I am slightly still intrigued by this strange mix of items I love (beer, syrup, bacon), and wish it were available for tasting in my town (as of now you can only purchase it in Oregon or by mail.

So, as always, it’s up to you! Which food product is weirder? The Darth Vader burger, with its terrifying black bun, or Maple Bacon Ale, the beer that has hints of bacon fat flavor?
