We owe everyone an apology for allowing this to happen.
Never for a second trust anyone who tells you that cinnamon + meat is a winning combination. That idea is the driving ethos behind Skyline Chili (and all Cincinnati-style chilis), a concoction inexplicably not banned by international treaty. If a hyper-intelligent race of aliens passing by the Milky Way ever catches wind of the existence of Cincinnati chili, they will vaporize us from orbit, and we will deserve it. I have no doubt that if they discover the existence of Fireball chicken wings, our punishment will somehow justifiably be worse.
Amazingly, this is still not the most awful food thing I’ll be posting about today. Stay tuned.
* You’re not off the hook for this either, Canada. Fireball Whisky is your fault (that’s the whole reason “whiskey” is spelled wrong in the name as Deadspin’s Tim Burke points out, it’s actually called “whisky” because it’s cinnamon schnapps and there are no regulations on what can be called “whisky”).
