Final Exam, Question 13

I've done this once or twice before: I don't like "bonus" questions on exams but I like to give a little freebie question to lighten the mood. These are the results of the very artistically talented (as well as some of the less artistically talented) students in my web applications class. Disclaimer: don't try to feed a taco to a hippo, they don't eat meat and they're more dangerous than sharks or lions or bears or bearsharks or lionbears. Maybe try a vegetarian taco***.

#10: I appreciate this answer because the author really followed the directions.

#9: There's irony in this much contemplation from a hippo that doesn't understand the concept of words.

#8: I'm surprised there weren't *more* maracas and sombreros.

#7: I don't have any idea what's wrong with this hippo... but I know there's a lot right.

#6: Pretty sure this student thought that Hippo and Taco were some type of web application framework and that this was a serious question. At least that's what I'd like to believe.

#5: Hippocow has sharp teeth.

#4: Most hippos can't bear to stand up when fantasizing about tacos and hot sauce. True story.

#3: Great entry but loses 3 points for not following the instructions.

#2: This one has great depth.

#1: I would think that hippos wouldn't use Comcast, but a quick Google search for "hippo internet" shows Comcast as the first ad and an IE download, so this might be the most accurate of all of them.

*** don't try to feed a hippo a vegetarian taco either

The Gobbler from Arby's

Stop. Stop what you're doing and go to Arby's. Right. Now. Have them make you a Gobbler . This is not something you'll regret. Go. Eat this thing. Look at that bacon. Go. Arby's has a new sandwich. It's called "The Gobbler" and as far as I can tell it's two things: a vehicle for their new deep fried turkey, and an attempt at a Thanksgiving themed sandwich. It's also a third thing: magically delicious. move over Lucky, there's a new holiday mascot on the block Unwrapping: this actually looks like a sandwich. It looks appetizing. It looks like something I want to eat. It doesn't look like the promo photo above, but it doesn't look like someone was flailing around and accidentally smashed up a sandwich, either. sexy Instagram caption goes here First bite: Wow. I mean, "WOW." Holy h*ck this is good. The turkey has a really bold, meaty flavor. It tastes a lot like turkey sliced fresh from your

Get Go Sandwich Standoff: "The General" vs "The Rogie Hoagie"

Get Go has been KILLING it lately with crazy sandwiches that are great for advertising on the radio but I've been wondering if they're actually great for eating. The new one I've been hearing about is "The General" which is like Chinese take-out on a sesame sub roll. I hear ads for it every morning on my commute, and I see a giant billboard for it too. It's basically chicken tenders with General Tso's sauce and egg rolls on a sesame bun. I'm guessing they were inspired by Primanti's and decided to try to apply it to a different cuisine (I'm looking forward to The Russian Borscht sub which I'm sure is planned for later this summer). I ventured out to my local GetGo to try one of these out, only to be greeted by "The Rogie Hoagie" on the screen in addition to "The General." What a great surprise (and additional gastronomic challenge)! I decided to try them both and report back. "The General" only comes

Sheetz Sandwich Standoff: El Gringo vs Twisted Swiss

My wife left me alone for dinner tonight so I decided to check out the latest GetGo offerings... but to my great chagrin, they have no promotional subs. My travels led me to the local Sheetz, where I'd be able to keep eating the best gas station sandwiches around. To keep tradition alive, I picked the two most outrageous "Burgerz" on the menu: El Gringo and Twisted Swiss. The ingredient list is promising: Twisted Swiss is the burger with topped with swiss cheese, cole slaw, pickles, bacon, and whatever "Boom Boom Sauce" is on a pretzel bun. El Gringo is the burger topped with pepper jack cheese, chili, Doritos, and BBQ sauce on a regular old bun. I unwrapped them both and stood back to admire the majesty before me. They're not pretty, but they do look a lot better out of the wrapper than many fast food burgers I've eaten. Twisted Swiss I expected this sandwich to be an awful mess. It just seemed like a bunch
