On the internet fame of puffed rice
Mar. 9th, 2009 08:21 pmI just ate a rice cake (Quaker chocolate crunch) and then decided randomly to try to search facebook for 'rice cake'. In addition to the multiple users named 'rice cakes' I can indeed become a fan of rice cakes. They already have 194 fans! I have yet to decide if that is awesome or not.
On a related note, I finally decided to check wikipedia for how puffed rice is actually made. The article was disappointingly short, and apparently the process is not really all that interesting. You sorta just heat it... until it puffs. It doesn't involve forest sprites or unicorns or faeries or anything. I figured maybe they were micro elves using billows to get air into molten rice. That'd be way better.
