$22 bucks for testicles.......

This past weekend, was the annual "Rocky Mountain Oyster Feed." It is biggest feed in the west. Being that i am living in Idaho, this was an event to be at. My friend Justin and i thought it would be hilarious to see what kind of people actually would put a testicle in their mouth, chew it up and enjoy it. Now i do not know how to describe what a fried testicle smelled like, but it did not entice me to try one either. We could smell them sizzling from miles away.

As we approached the feed, there was a pretty big line waiting to get in. It was amazing to see the different types of people all gathered together for one common goal. To eat as many testicles as they can. So we get to the front of the line and they tell us it is going to be $22 bucks. That was for unlimited nuts and four beers. I am not a drinker, but was thinking that if i was it was going to take a lot more than 4 beers to get me to put on of those into my mouth. So $22 bucks for testicles, no thanks. We laughed at the idea, and left the nuts at the nut feed.

This is a commercial that did not run for too long here in Boise. It created major controversy and you will see why. It quickly got cut from the air as complaints came flooding in.

I am imagining rocky mountain oyster eaters much like wine tasters. You first sniff it, then place it in your mouth. Roll it around...Ok that's enough. Does your mother know you posted this? Just kidding! This was so funny! I totally would have gone to watch people at this thing!

I have never been to the Testee Fest but I have heard that it is a white trash festival! I love the commercial! How funny is that! Hope summer is treating you well!

Whoa! That commercial is brave, I can see why mothers would not want their young children viewing that. I will admit that I am a little confused by the name of the festival I have no idea how oysters and testicles are related, am I having a blond moment? However, I am 100% disgusted thinking of people eating balls. I mean just putting them in your mouth is bad enough....hahahah, just kidding...

Crystal,
I have always wondered that. Where did they get rocky mountain oysters and testicles. The only thing that testicles and oysters have in common is that i will not eat either. I wonder what the history of the name is. Do some research would ya! Ha!
