Taco Bell Challenge part 3: Pièce de Résistance

  Thing1 ordered both a Frutista Freeze and some Hi-C, in the hopes that an insulin shock-and-awe would sway the judges. Here, Thing 1 reduces the Hi-C down to its most basic ingredients: sugar and red.

  The Frutista Freeze didn't really freeze all that well. Of course, this could be because the Kitchen-Aid was in Thing2's domain. At any rate, it did eventually harden up enough to hold its shape, so long as it wasn't exposed to any heat, vibration, or strong language.

  Thing2 pestles some cinnamon twists. Thing2 really went for presentation on the dishes, a tactic that would probably have worked better if the two judges' scores were equally weighted.

  Thing2's final assembly.

Thing2's finished dessert: a master's class in thinking outside the bun.

Thing1's finished dessert: a variation on a theme by Brahms.
