The Onion A.V. Club’s taste test of Maxxed Pops is moderately entertaining. The first four paragraphs of the piece, however, are comic gold. Try this one:
Pointless autobiographical aside: When A.V. Club writer Nathan Rabin was in sixth grade he did a science project measuring the effects high doses of caffeine would have on hamsters purchased from Woolworths. Though no reputable science journal would print his revolutionary findings, he learned that giving hamsters crushed-up No Doz in their drinking water makes them really crazy and psychotic. Also, the hamsters tried to tear each other’s limbs off. Then they escaped from their Habitrail prison and mated with the local rodent population.
