If there's one adjective that seems to have originated due to the expansion of American junk food that word would be super-sized. Whether it applies to a container of fries, a soft drink, or a candy bar, the term super-size has leaped to new bounds, making it's way into even more and more candies and junk foods. Let's explore a couple of these new ones shall we?

No....your eyes do not deceive you...that is a giant concoction of neon organge cheese-covered god knows what!!! No kidding!! These snacks (if you can call them that) are the size of a golf ball! A golf ball! Now I don't know about you but about the biggest thing I've ever had is a giant jawbreaker. I'm sure many will agree that havn't something that big in your mouth is not that enjoyable. And just think of how wide you have to open your mouth to even begin to chomp down on the thing!
I have also heard work of a rice krispies cereal with pieces three times the normal size...unless rice has genetically been altered to grow three times the size, I'm pretty sure that would mean rice krispies are not as "natural" as many might think. (Hey there's an idea! Genetically alter rice and wheat to grow three times its normal size. BAM! World hunger solved!)
Stay tuned for more giant American Junk Foods!! :P

The title of Iron Chef is not something the Food Network takes lightly, which is why they gather only the best chefs from around the world to compete to become 'The Next Iron Chef.'
As host, commentator and all around cooking guru on 'Iron Chef America,' Alton Brown has seen it all in Kitchen Stadium. Leading the reality competition once again for season 2 (premeires Sun., Oct. 4, 9PM ET on Food Network), Brown opened up exclusively to AOL TV about what it takes to win the title. "We're looking for something very specific," Brown admits. "We're looking for people that can tell stories with their food."
But how does he always know what the chefs are cooking up to tell those stories? (Something about pattern recognition.) And would he ever compete on 'Iron Chef' himself? (This question gets a big laugh out of him.) Lastly, I had to know -- after touting the usefulness of so many kitchen gadgets on his other hit show, 'Good Eats,' what's his favorite multi-tasking tool? (Panini, anyone?)
