    FIRST! YEA, SUCK IT Trebeck. I would perfer used ones to give it that extra kick.

  2. Depraved says:

    Poster has it wrong, this isnt some inept attempt to soak up grease. This is just 1 more crazy step in American’s obsession with deep frying everything. Deep Fried Maxi. The next iteration is of course the Deep Fried used Maxi, or perhaps Bloodied Deep Fried Maxi.

  3. el says:

    not sure what’s more disturbing… that someone would use pads as grease absorbers… or smelly’s post

    baaaaaaa

    The iPad can’t do this.

  6. LadyRenegade says:

    Day 256: I have finished the zombie pit trap and will be luring them in with a new bait. If the pit trap doesn’t get them, the trans fats will!

  7. X to the Z says:

    The iPad CAN multitask!

  8. Gspusi says:

    Now it still looks fine – how will it look after using.
    And how will it taste, after showing it the invited guests…

    • Martin says:

      Yeah… I don’t think they are meant to be eaten but to soak up the fat.

      On the other hand, sprinkle them with some sesame and they should be indistinctable to your regular burger bun taste wise.

    • waldo says:

      After the first keg, who cares if they were invited? Just tell them “Spot season is open and enjoy.”

  9. Ramizan says:

    And I thought my idea of using these to wipe sweats are obnoxious…

  10. snotnose says:

    flavor pads!

  11. criolle johnny says:

    … and you can re-use them as fire starters!

  12. Jompe71 says:

    Please, Please, Please, let Gordon Ramsay into this kitchen!

  13. Demetrius says:

    And, the ones for use with (chicken) wings are labeled as such right on the box!

  14. Maggie says:

    Eeeeeeeeeeeeeewwww. Just eeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

  15. Firefighter says:

    I think I just vomited a little in my mouth…

  16. Torri says:

    Disturbing. OMG, now how am I going to get this image out of my head next time I sit down to eat fries? Or wings? Or for that matter, every time in the future I use parchment paper?

  17. Alcysio says:

    Well, as if it isn’t disgusting enough to cook with that much grease…

  18. anodean says:

    Once you’ve fought in the Gulf War, paper products are paper products.

    • kc/cc says:

      Ahaha! And anyone can get used to the baby powder flavor of food, right?

      • Anna Rexia says:

        I’m sure they’re unscented (and thus without taste {ba dum bum!}). They could have done this for laughs, or they’re too baked to drive somewhere for paper towels and the munchie fits are super strong. Those pads contain a small amount of super-absorbent polymer like that used in diapers. They absorb more water than oil, but I guess they’d work in a pinch.

        • VelmaDinkley says:

          I’d be worried about the polymer getting out. Those things aren’t exactly food-grade, and they might melt a little under the hot fries. Still, though, I’m kinda tempted to try it, now that I’ve seen it. It’s a good thing I’m out of potatoes.

    • CC says:

      bless your heart for saying that, really made me laugh,and i totally needed it!

  19. jamisings says:

    I don’t think it’s gross because at least they’re clean and freshly opened. HOWEVER, what they should’ve done is first cut open a brown paper bag and laid it in there inside out. Then put paper towels on top of it.

  20. gregaaron89 says:

    How is this gross if they’re clean? Just get past the mental image…

    • Sir Fix-a-lot says:

      They’re not designed to withstand the hot temperature of boiling oil therefore, very likely to yield harmful chemicals to fries. Definately not food-grade.

  21. Lady J says:

    Noooooo .. just..NO >.< *shudder*

  22. RiderLeangle says:

    How to Maxi-mise on absorption in the kitchen?

  23. Jompe71 says:

    Cousin Redsagna?

  24. Dogmeat says:

    When Aunt Flo came to visit for a few days, she tried to make us forget about the inconvenience over by offering to cook dinner and rent a movie. I was skeptical. Of all the shows out there, she rented one from 1995…Crimson Tide. I said nothing and tried to stay optimistic. However, when she lined the bottom of the tray with pads to absorb the french fry grease, I was mortified! This was absolutely without question THE worst idea ever. Period.

  25. mamarosa says:

    Would you like deodorant fries with that?

  26. kc/cc says:

    Hmm. Depends AND Wesson, better together. I’m thinking we’re going to see Florence Henderson back on TV again real soon in the ads.

  27. lolbod says:

    “that’s nasty..” -Cleveland

  28. herds789 says:

    Usually I like to have blue cheese with my hot wings, but not today thank you.

  29. herds789 says:

    Wait, are those fries cooking in light or heavy flow oil?

  30. herds789 says:

    Just don’t ask her to squeeze a little lemon on the fish.

  31. grillologist says:

    Unfortunately for his dinner guests, Bob misunderstood the term “sanitary napkin”.

  32. Bodikaria says:

    In fact, it’s probably cleaner than using absorbing paper, but as it is more expensive I’m not sure it is used a lot (even though it’s not a bad idea).

  33. peregrin says:

    Then add a little tomato sauce, then some cheese, and another layer of maxi-pads. Continue until it reaches the top of the pan-or until your guests run out of the house retching.

  34. Aj says:

    I guess the plus side is they aren’t used…

  35. Daniel says:

    This is not what I had in mind when I ordered wings and fries.

  36. FadedLY says:

    Have a happy lunch period. – ALWAYS!

  37. poo says:

    ew, flower scented chicken fingers fonight

  38. Gomie says:

    OMG I am a woman and that is still so gross!! WTF!

    • Meticularius says:

      Gomie, I am sorry it is an American male culteral (sic) heritage to try to outgross each other. I am more startled by all the comments than I am by the displayed use of the product. Especially since we boys have used condoms for water baloons. The last time I saw a maxi pad it was on a deep wound of a guy’s leg and he was grateful for it.

  39. Onion says:

    Some of them come with ketchup.

  40. OhNoNotAgain says:

    This is obviously the tool table for a redneck doctor about to deliver a baby. Note the strategic placing of the fries for when things start to go bad.

  41. chobo says:

    This is wrong on so many levels.

  42. Morna says:

    They are shipped in sterile, sealed packaging, which means they are probably cleaner than paper towels. It’s just cotton. I’d do it if I were a starving college student.

  43. weenie says:

    First, I am going to kill myself. Then I am going to kill the cook.

  44. waldo says:

    Where is Texas Pete when you need him?

  45. stanman13 says:

    For those days when your chicken wings are feeling “not so fresh.”

  46. kc/cc says:

    It appears there are two different kinds of pads on this tray. I don’t know what the significance of that fact is, but whatever it turns out to be, I think it may raise the creepiness factor a notch or two.

  47. Flo says:

    I’m thinking this is a camping trip, and that somebody had an oh sh*t moment when they realized they didn’t have paper towels. This was the kludge to get dinner cooked?

  48. Patrik says:

    Seriously though – those pads are loaded with a gel that is super-absorbent to *water*, but probably won’t do anything whatsoever for grease! Bad idea altogether.

    I recommend tampons instead…

  49. Citric says:

    Going by the ads, now you can have dinner, ride a horse, and go rollerblading with a dog.

  50. one small step says:

    “Modess… because.”

    But you’d have to be my age to remember that years ago they weren’t actually allowed to tell what the product for when they advertised it on tv.

  51. Chris says:

    I guess if you find yourself with a surplus of pads its better to do something with them then to waste them all.

    • kc/cc says:

      If you find yourself in the same dilemma, please use the time you would have spent on the fries to find a women’s shelter, and donate them! You’ll feel better about yourself later, trust me! ;)

    • mamarosa says:

      You might be a redneck if…
      ….you use these for dinner napkins and think they look kinda nice with the fancy napkin rings.

  52. bearcatnat says:

    Yum, yum…goes great with ketchup!

  53. AK-47 says:

    McDonalds and Carefree, the official sponsors of Olympics, brig you this new take on a classical Romanian dish : Grace-wraps, now with less trans fats.

  54. criolle johnny says:

    “Would you like thighs with that?”

  55. slapch0p says:

    The pot holder quietly watches the pan menstruate.

  56. Lobo says:

    Pennes should never go in there, the pan is obviously on its period.

  57. dono1 says:

    I know you kids wanted to have french fries tonight but you can’t. Sorry, but it’s that time of the month.

  58. slapch0p says:

    After the bitter divorce, Walter roamed around the empty house for days. Finally, hunger got the best of him, and he bitterly proceeded to cook his own french fries. Then he discovered the ex-wife took all the paper towels. Damn it!
    But, alas she left the super maxi-pads.
    Thank goodness for small victories!

  59. Meticularius says:

    Once you get past the psychological association then creative opportunities are many. I have used these as first aid for severe cuts and 2nd-degree sunburn blisters. I keep in my job site first aid kit a fresh light one along with the usual gauze and square gauze pads. I remember when I was a child how my siblings and I were horrified by my Dad’s suggestion to use toilet paper to blow our noses, but we got over it…eventually.

  60. debirlfan says:

    FYI – on a related note, tampons are often used “in the field” to plug bullet wounds/control bleeding.

    • A_Smith says:

      They’re amazingly effective for clearing paintball guns after breaking a ball in the barrel, grabbing shell fragments, absorbing paint, and wiping the barrel on it’s way out. The attached string also aids in the ballistic properties.

      Insert, add water, aim at opponent, wait for therapy bill…

  61. Yamabushi says:

    And we used to used those big Kotex when we waxed our cars.

  62. blkgrrl says:

    Aw, HELL to the NO!! GAG *heave*

  63. catfishjoe says:

    How not to make authentic “Pad Thai”!

  64. oi says:

    I think the term you want is ladysauce marinara.

  65. Rachel says:

    Thats not right. You use diapers for french fries.
    You use pads for bacon.
    At least they’er clean………I bet they feel fresh

  66. Chowda says:

    Next time try Always with Wings for a light, airy batch of fries

  67. Miss Silver says:

    That is freaking SICK. Why would you want to use maxi pads?!! I know they’re super absorbent, but using it to absorb grease from food is just wrong! Think of the connotations! OH GOD!

  68. CaptainObvious says:

    It should be obvious to anyone who has seen the price of pads this is a set-up joke. Nobody would really do this even without the gross-out factor.

    Pads are really expensive, way too expensive to use as a paper towel replacement.
