Linda says Hide all the white chocolate bread! Posted May 30, 2009, 5:21 pm

Jessie says how are there not a million posts on this already? food fight tips? flip a table on it's side for a shield and use a serving spoon to fling massive amounts of mashed potatoes. Posted June 1, 2009, 11:25 am

Sare says Put less sauce on your pasta. It sticks to targets better that way. Posted June 1, 2009, 11:50 am

Cody says Be careful with the soup course... chilled sorts like gazpacho are safest, and chilled pea soup provides the maximum colorful and dramatic effect. Posted June 1, 2009, 12:17 pm

David says Don't bother trying to duck - just stand up and take it, while throwing everything in sight as fast as you can! Posted June 1, 2009, 12:43 pm

A Street says Take rolls, dip in pasta sauce and fling. Trying flinging meatballs also. Wear a garbage bag for your own protection :-) Posted June 1, 2009, 12:45 pm

Margaret says go for the rainbow effect! Posted June 1, 2009, 12:46 pm

Jennie says If simple cheeseburgers are on the menu, twist off the top bun and hurl. The weight of the burger carries it quite far, the toppings disperse like shrapnel with the burger itself landing with a splat. Posted June 1, 2009, 12:46 pm

Sarah says What an amazing contest! I tweeted the contest @ http://twitter.com/preparednesspro. My food fight tip? Grab a bowl of rolls and fling them at your opponents! Posted June 1, 2009, 12:47 pm

Amanda says if possible go for things with jello and marshmellows, they give a lovely bounce and jiggle when reflected by the enemy. :-) Posted June 1, 2009, 12:48 pm

Erin says I'd go straight for the berry based sauces: red, blue, purple. Your opponent will look like a Jackson Pollack painting in no time. Posted June 1, 2009, 12:48 pm

brilynn says Just get any kitchen crew involved... they'll fight to the bitter end and eat well while doing it. Posted June 1, 2009, 12:50 pm

Annie says the boy says not to bother hiding. stand up and eat everything that comes your way! Posted June 1, 2009, 12:52 pm

Erika says Open squeezable ketchup bottle. Point away from body. Spin yourself silly while squeezing bottle as hard as possible. Posted June 1, 2009, 12:52 pm

Kate says Ketchup AND mustard. And then something small that sticks, like cheerios (the stickiness any mom will attest to!) Posted June 1, 2009, 12:55 pm

Krystal says Think like the Spaniards! Tomatoes just like in their organized food fight --La Tomatina! Posted June 1, 2009, 12:58 pm

Erika says We went to Club Med Ixtapa over spring break this year, and there was always guacamole on the salad table.... Posted June 1, 2009, 12:58 pm

Kelsey says Easy, marshmallows soaked in water become deadly, plus, when they land on someone they stick and are hard to get out of hair and clothes! Or, you can always jump on a ketchup packet and watch it explode on someone! Posted June 1, 2009, 1:04 pm

Hélène says spread some food (sauce, bananas, butter) on the floor so that your opponents slip and fall...And you win the fight! Posted June 1, 2009, 1:07 pm

Andrea says My best food fight tip is: Use individual peas, one at a time, as your weapon of choice. Why? Because I hate to waste even one morsel of a good buffet!
I don't want be a spoil sport, but eye protection should be worn if those are frozen peas.
Posted June 1, 2009, 1:09 pm

Thien-Kim says I've never been in a food fight before, but it sounds like fun! I think I'd use the meatballs like little cannon balls. Posted June 1, 2009, 1:21 pm

Kristen says mashed potatoes are kind of hard to throw but nothing beats that "splat!" :) Posted June 1, 2009, 1:31 pm

Kristen says mashed potatoes are kind of hard to throw but nothing beats that "splat!" :) Posted June 1, 2009, 1:32 pm

Courtney says You know I have been in a food fight. But I always wanted a cream pie at someone. Reach for the pies and toss them. Posted June 1, 2009, 1:35 pm

Kari says I'm a big fan of raw ingredients. Start with the basics - flour, sugar, eggs, baking powder. Also, buy local - food fights with honey from your area makes for sticky social awareness!

(Best food fight ever? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-yldqNkGfo) Posted June 1, 2009, 1:39 pm

christen QCoFM says My cousins and I elevated food fighting to an art form. And let me tell you, getting beaned upside the head with a grilled bologne sandwich is both humiliating and hurtful - but that kid soon had pants full of watermelon, so it's ok. :) Posted June 1, 2009, 1:40 pm

Michael says Lots of red sauce with your pasta, the spatters look like blood... Posted June 1, 2009, 1:41 pm

Elis says Salad bar all the way -- green peas, celery bits, corn kernels & sunflower seeds work like buckshot! Posted June 1, 2009, 1:41 pm

Murthy says Indian food and food fights go hand-in-hand -- They add the color and the spice element to any fight :) Use a tandoori chicken leg to wonk your boss when he is not looking to your side. Throw a bit of aloo gobi on the "michael kors" outfit wearing neighbor's wife - and even M-Kors will be searching on ways to get the color off Posted June 1, 2009, 1:51 pm

Chinamatt says I think durian would make the ultimate weapon for a food fight. The shell makes a great spiked shield and the slippery, stinky fruit would send the opposition running (I'm fairly certain this was once used in actual warfare). Posted June 1, 2009, 2:04 pm

Sheri says Paradise, great food, and drinks with little umbrellas await! Posted June 1, 2009, 2:07 pm

Adriene says Spaghetti with RED sauce! Messy sauce and spaghetti goes everywhere. Posted June 1, 2009, 2:16 pm

Natanya says Hide under a table and use a straw as a sniper to shoot small pieces of food at those fully engaged in the bigger battle. People will never know what hit them. Posted June 1, 2009, 2:18 pm

Digigirl says Have a polite food fight! Send a minion with a piece of something on a napkin to your victim and have it presented. If they don't respond, do it again. Eventually, they'll catch on and send their own minion back to you. Most creative item sent (or presentation) wins! Posted June 1, 2009, 2:19 pm

curt says Mashed potatoes can't be beat in a food fight, but can be improved with modifications of gravy (obvious) or something sticky like apple pie or even just syrup to really stick and ensure a huge mess stays in place.

But how does one challenge someone to a food fight? Throwing down the pot holder? Slapping them across the face with Nitrile gloves? Posted June 1, 2009, 2:29 pm

Chris says Our 8th graders were pretty happy to begin a food fight the last week of school on Spaghetti & salad day. That was the day I asked, "Do I really want to be an administrator right now, or a kid and start participating?" ha! Posted June 1, 2009, 3:08 pm

lumpyheadsmom says Rice bombs, definitely. Rice bombs. Posted June 1, 2009, 3:09 pm

dawn says Hands down, cookie dough makes the best ammunition! Posted June 1, 2009, 3:23 pm

Alanna says i think it would be fun to dump a bowl of chocolate pudding with whipped cream on someone's head. :) Posted June 1, 2009, 3:39 pm

Alanna says i think it would be fun to dump a bowl of chocolate pudding with whipped cream on someone's head. :) Posted June 1, 2009, 3:41 pm

Diana says It's great if there's pitchers of soda or tea around, but get regular soda to dump on someone, diet isn't sticky! Posted June 1, 2009, 3:55 pm

Carrie says All you need is a blender, some water, frozen fruits and veggies and a few large, lightweight cups. Blend it up, pour into glasses, fling at will. Blackberries particularly great, very very messy. Posted June 1, 2009, 4:18 pm

Scott says I'm so impressed with the caliber of food making its way to mainstream resorts these days. Posted June 1, 2009, 4:20 pm

Peanut says Throwing liquids! If you're feeling evil, beet juice. If you just want to have a good time, anything clear and fizzy... Posted June 1, 2009, 4:34 pm

Jennifer says I say aim high, no matter what the food. Gravity is not your friend in a food fight! You want the food on a person, not their plate! Posted June 1, 2009, 4:34 pm

Shelly says This post is too funny! And of course, I'd love to win a vacation! Who wouldn't? :) Posted June 1, 2009, 4:35 pm

Jason says Anything fishy. It will do the initial damage, but the odor will also linger. Posted June 1, 2009, 4:36 pm

Ulla says that looks so lovely! i love desserts with fresh fruit, my favorite! Posted June 1, 2009, 4:36 pm

kairu says I don't think it could get better than mashed potatoes! Waffles could be aimed like frisbees, and if you are in Asia, steamed dumplings are like miniature bombs. Posted June 1, 2009, 4:39 pm

Savor says The 'innocent' food fights in our house always start with the kids opening up their sugar snap or snow peas and then follows with some form of noodles. Guess who usually gets to pick up the mess? Posted June 1, 2009, 4:40 pm

Anne says Snowcones in a hot climate make for great food fights....act like snowballs but taste great! Posted June 1, 2009, 4:42 pm

Jen H says Anything sticky, such a pain for the recipient to get out of their hair. Posted June 1, 2009, 4:42 pm

jodifur says We loved club med sandpiper!

jodifur.com Posted June 1, 2009, 4:44 pm

jodifur says here is my tweet and I followed on twitter http://twitter.com/jodifur/status/1995587559 Posted June 1, 2009, 4:45 pm

Kristin says mmmmashed potatoes and gravy!! Posted June 1, 2009, 4:46 pm

Scott says A wholesale-sized tub of cottage cheese and one of those oversized straws for Boba Tea. Oh and maybe some safety goggles. Posted June 1, 2009, 4:49 pm

alex says Hamburger discus, or of course, a classic pie to the face! Posted June 1, 2009, 4:50 pm

Shar says My tweet is on my page: http://twitter.com/sbonnin and I followed.

my recommendation for a good food fight is to use sticky products like syrup. And in the heat, not very comfy.

my hubby met and honeymooned in Club Meds! Posted June 1, 2009, 4:52 pm

Lyndsey says Grab a bowl of pasta, spaghetti would be best, you can always use the empty bowl as a shield. Hope your peripheral vision is good! Posted June 1, 2009, 4:57 pm

Amanda says I was always a fan of tightly rolled mayo and ketchup packets. They explode on impact, so long as they're rolled tightly enough! Can always stomp on them, too. People focus too much on the face/upper body in a food fight. Posted June 1, 2009, 4:59 pm

Carolyn says Anything with beets, berries, or tomato sauce is fair game. And never wear a white shirt if you're starting the fight. A bathing suit is your best defense! Posted June 1, 2009, 5:02 pm

dianna mangiantini says I'd take the PacMan approach and just eat everything folks were dishing out. However, anyone dishing out zucchini would instead get a spoonful of peanut butter to the hair. That's some gnarly clean up. Posted June 1, 2009, 5:03 pm

Holly says buffets always taste good b/c you're probably on vacation. vacation food is always good. Posted June 1, 2009, 5:05 pm

Jacquie says Definitely desset products are the best...chocolate syrup and then sprinkles. Tar and feather! Posted June 1, 2009, 5:07 pm

Catherine A Gluten-Free Guide says Use bacon to distract them with deliciousness then throw the sticky stuff. Posted June 1, 2009, 5:09 pm

Heather says I would prep by making sesame chicken - nice and sticky! It would be like gum in someone's hair! Posted June 1, 2009, 5:09 pm

Lyndsey says here's my tweet on twitter.. hope it works

http://twitter.com/Lyndzz Posted June 1, 2009, 5:10 pm

Amy says 1) Wear a raincoat and hat.
2) Throw a LOT and FAST and then RUN AWAY!
3) Meatballs are pretty good for targeted attacks. Posted June 1, 2009, 5:10 pm

Jacquie says Definitely go to the dessert bar. Cold/wet ice cream, chocolate syrup, sprinkles... It's like tarring and feathering! Posted June 1, 2009, 5:17 pm

Jess says Mashed potatoes combined with peas. Ball them up and use your spoon to launch them. Posted June 1, 2009, 5:24 pm

karine says cream puffs- they fly far and have a good splat. Posted June 1, 2009, 5:41 pm

Lindsay says I'd be throwing sweets left and right... dessert makes for the biggest mess and the best cleanup *lick* Posted June 1, 2009, 6:05 pm

Paula says Team-hijack salad bar! Spoons=catapults, tomatoes/cukes on floor=moat, dressing=face slopping, tongs=hands-on combat, metal bowls=shield. Posted June 1, 2009, 6:22 pm

Paula says Team-hijack salad bar! Spoons=catapults, tomatoes/cukes on floor=moat, dressings=face slopping, tongs=hands-on combat, metal bowls=shield. Posted June 1, 2009, 6:24 pm

Michele says Mashed potato catapult. Posted June 1, 2009, 6:49 pm

Jackie says Grab a serving tray to use as a shield, then head to the dessert section for the best ammo. Posted June 1, 2009, 6:53 pm

Robyn says I think a fun summertime food fight would take place outdoors with jell-o and the kids. Keep the hose handy! Posted June 1, 2009, 8:03 pm

Shannon says Fling fruit salad -- colorful! Posted June 1, 2009, 8:12 pm

Alejandra says Stay away from salad greens; they get no air and do little damage. Salad *dressing* on the other hand, is perfect. Especially those little squeeze packets. Posted June 1, 2009, 8:29 pm

Lexi says Go to the kids section and pitch some jello Posted June 1, 2009, 10:25 pm

ZaZu says Sip vanilla, banana or chocolate pudding up in a straw--aim and blow hard!! Posted June 1, 2009, 10:47 pm

Denise says It would not be a food fight with our chocolate pudding and a can of spray on whip cream - bring it on!! Posted June 2, 2009, 12:48 am

DebinHawaii says Hawaiian buffets are the best for a food fight--poi sticks really well and cubes of poke and lomi-lomi salmon can be flung great distances... Posted June 2, 2009, 12:56 am

Jocelyn McAuley says tips for a good food fight? be the one to start it... :) Posted June 2, 2009, 1:11 am

kate says Tip a bowl of cold custard over someone's head, run away to a safe distance and then lob colourful items - grapes, chunks of red pepper or tomato from a salad section and see how many you can get to stick to the goo. Top with squirts of ketchup. My real tip? Bring wet wipes. Posted June 2, 2009, 3:35 am

Diana says Don't be afraid to use the gravy! Posted June 2, 2009, 9:03 am

Lily says The best food fight ---pie in the face. Unfortunately I was on the receiving end. It does not want to come off - I am talking gooey, sticky, and icky all over. Although it does taste quite good. The element of surprise is a must, so pretend like you are going to hit the person NEXT to the person you actually want to target! - Lily Posted June 2, 2009, 9:03 am

Amy says Meatballs! Enough said! Posted June 2, 2009, 9:03 am

jodi says boba through a boba straw - isn't that what they're made for? Posted June 2, 2009, 9:04 am

Digigirl says You know, marshmallows and grapes are the best ammunition for those little wooden catapults you can buy in toy stores. Just sayin'. Posted June 2, 2009, 9:08 am

Deanna says Jello is fun, you can grab a colorful chunk and just keep wingin' it at people! Posted June 2, 2009, 9:10 am

gabriel says a hamburger patty, just for the aerodynamics.... Posted June 2, 2009, 9:11 am

Mokona says Mashed Potatoes, all the way. Gotta stick with the classics! Posted June 2, 2009, 9:12 am

Karen says Variety is the key to the battle. The more options you have, the more versatile you will be in the fight. Load up your tray with as many different things as you can! Posted June 2, 2009, 9:15 am

Nicole says spaghetti's the best. It sticks to everything. and the little pieces make it hard to peel off. Posted June 2, 2009, 9:18 am

Carol Simply Gluten-free says It's gotta be mashed potatoes. Spagetti is really good too - and isn't that a lovely look? Posted June 2, 2009, 9:21 am

Sharon says Mashed potatoes can be effectively shaped into "showballs" I like to add green peas for added heft! Posted June 2, 2009, 9:23 am

David says Best food-fight ammo: For "shotgun" approach, Chocolate pudding and tomato juice (bloody mary mix will do in a pinch). Tater tots for pinpoint accuracy. Posted June 2, 2009, 9:25 am

Nathan says Ice down people's shirts is still a personal favorite. Especially when their shirts are tucked in! Posted June 2, 2009, 9:25 am

Cara says sticky pasta, rolls, and mac and cheese! those are great items to fling! go for the people with long hair, the mac and cheese will get stuck! :) Posted June 2, 2009, 9:27 am

angela says Red beets lot of juice. Aim at the clothes especially those wearing white and watch them turn beet red. Posted June 2, 2009, 9:30 am

Eva says Go for a dessert attack: first squirt the sauce of your choice (caramel sticks best!) and then fire away with the toppings. Posted June 2, 2009, 9:34 am

Lisa says Dont be afraid to get messy. Forget the shields. Grab with both hands and start flinging what ever you can get your hands on. Posted June 2, 2009, 9:36 am

Diana says It's cliched, but mashed potatoes on a spoon works very, very well. Add peas for extra effect. Posted June 2, 2009, 9:41 am

Norman says Cheese cubes on carrot or celery sticks. They can be launched like a warhead, are very stealth, and send a message. Using a rubberband like a sling shot you can hit your target from across the dining room without anyone even seeing you. Nothing like being boinked in the noggin by a barrage of cheddar cheese missiles to make your target take cover under the closest table. I say hit'em hard,hit'em quick and hit'em with cheese missiles! Posted June 2, 2009, 9:42 am

Jamie says Throw the liquids first. Anything they can't throw back is good ammo. Once that is done then go for the rest of the food. Posted June 2, 2009, 9:51 am

Lauren says grab the messiest food there is and just sling it everywhere...no need to hide, I think it could be fun! Posted June 2, 2009, 9:51 am

Deb says 'Fraid I would hide under the table... Posted June 2, 2009, 9:52 am

elizabeth says jello.

no more explanation needed. Posted June 2, 2009, 9:54 am

jessie says Pie in the face, all the way. Preferably a cream pie. Posted June 2, 2009, 9:56 am

Wendee says Ooo, good topic! The last food fight I remember was when I stepped out to get ingredients for spaghetti and returned to find my roommates covered in flour and Reddi-Whip. I'm convinced: go with aerosol whipped cream. And wear glasses/goggles! Posted June 2, 2009, 9:57 am

Jess says Go for the Sundae effect: Ice cream first for stickiness, chocolate sauce for contrast, nuts for crunch, and finally maraschino cherry bombs to finish them off. Posted June 2, 2009, 9:58 am

Sara says Mashed potatoes launched via spoon is still number one. There's nothing wrong with being a traditionalist. Posted June 2, 2009, 10:00 am

Sauvage says spaghetti with a lot of tomato sauce... my sons fight with their spaghetti when they were kids... my kitchen was just a disaster !
I was in Club Med Puta Cana in january: beautiful rooms, delicious cooking, wonderful buffets...and nice salsa lessons! Posted June 2, 2009, 10:00 am

Ann says Use an ice cream scoop to ball mashed potatoes, then fling. I think the projectile of potatoes everywhere would have maximum impact! Posted June 2, 2009, 10:01 am

Alanna says how about an ooey gooey warm chicken pot pie to the face! Posted June 2, 2009, 10:05 am

Haley says Jaden, you are too much. Personally, I'd hide under the buffet polishing off a ham, then use the bone to bludgeon people. Mmmmm...bludgeoning.... Posted June 2, 2009, 10:05 am

Monica says Oh the best ones were at boarding school... peanut butter! You can shape it, it will hold its shape while it travels over to your intended target(s) and make a cool “SPLAT”… bonus points – STICKY! Posted June 2, 2009, 10:06 am

Helen says No tip: just grab whatever is close (preferably soft) and just go all out! Posted June 2, 2009, 10:07 am

Chris says Forget the buffet....sneak into the kitchen, grab a bowl full of raw artichokes and start throwing them! ;) Posted June 2, 2009, 10:07 am

Ivete says Muffins and other fist-sized baked goods make perfect grenades -- the crumblier, the better, for ultimate explosion-on-contact! Posted June 2, 2009, 10:10 am

sillyLN says I think one of those PVC potato guns would pack quite a whallop, but would be too dangerous for any close-range fights. Posted June 2, 2009, 10:10 am

Matt says Nothing beats heavily gravied and buttered mashed potatoes launched from spoon catapults. Excellent splat drip and stain ratio. Posted June 2, 2009, 10:13 am

Emily says Two words: Mashed Potatoes

(Ok, ok.... two more: "and gravy")

What a beautifully gloppy projectile! Posted June 2, 2009, 10:18 am

Kristin says Asian soup dumplings flung with a spoon will explode on impact... Is it illegal to use utensils? You could throw your chopsticks at the opponent like spears. Posted June 2, 2009, 10:19 am

Michael says Two things for offense-Bacon wrapped fillets-they have the mass to fly far and uare compact enough to carry dozens. The next-crusted scallops. They leave an imprint of crusty goodness, and mark your opponent so you know when they are coming with their seawater like aroma.
In the area of defense. A foil chafing dish is light enough to carry your projectiles in but strong enough to ward off almost all of the weapons on the line. Posted June 2, 2009, 10:20 am

Asianmommy says I vote for cottage cheese--that clumpiness can't feel good. Posted June 2, 2009, 10:23 am

Carol says You need squeeze bottles of ketchup and mustard to colorfully decorate those withing range, and a pile of meatballs and mashed potatoes and flexible plastic spoons for launching across the room. Posted June 2, 2009, 10:23 am

Julie says Protein hits your target harder than carbs do, but fats make the most mess. Posted June 2, 2009, 10:26 am

Marcus says Avoid vinegar cuz it stings your eyes... Posted June 2, 2009, 10:37 am

Peter says Nothing beats a cream pie to the face. If that's not an option, a fist full of cake smeared across the face is a decent alternative. Posted June 2, 2009, 10:41 am

Justopia says I like to be less obvious and a straw makes for great targeted spitball action. Almost anything can be made into a spitball and you can take what's on your plate and roll it up small enough to have it become a targeted projectile to hit what or whomever you like. Posted June 2, 2009, 10:42 am

Janet says Meatballs are the way to go! Posted June 2, 2009, 10:43 am

Stacey says I have to say, I'm not a big fan of food fights--too many starving children and all, but if I were going to have one, peas seem like they'd be fun to launch. Posted June 2, 2009, 10:45 am

Carla says Use your straw to aim and shoot your peas with deadly accuracy. Posted June 2, 2009, 10:46 am

Loquin says I'd go with stealth moussing...you have to really get up close to your victim though as mousse won't fly far. But it will make a delicious mess. Otherwise there is the old cllassic pie to the face. -loki Posted June 2, 2009, 10:47 am

Margaret says the old duck and cover is not a shameful option Posted June 2, 2009, 10:49 am

Joy says I'd start off by wearing goggles and a poncho so I wouldn't be worried as much about getting dirty.... Posted June 2, 2009, 10:49 am

Christi says Summer camp is the best place for food fights for a reason- mac and cheese is easy to throw and super messy when it hits its target, jello is easy to scoop and launch with a spoon and also hits its target with a great splatter effect. Ahhh. Summer camp and food fights. Posted June 2, 2009, 10:58 am

qma says Hey, I love you. Posted June 2, 2009, 11:00 am

lex says It's a little cliche, but nothings better than giving someone a pie to the face. Posted June 2, 2009, 11:04 am

Sarah says Use filled pastries of any sort - chicken pot pie, turnovers, anything with a thin outer crust so that you stay clean while throwing but that will explode on impact to cover your target in whatever gooey substance is inside. Posted June 2, 2009, 11:12 am

Geriann says Tomatoes are good-- the are like balls- but they splat when they hit their target Posted June 2, 2009, 11:23 am

Nici says Pasta sauce all the way! Posted June 2, 2009, 11:23 am

Jen H says Something sticky will always leave a lasting impression1 Posted June 2, 2009, 11:27 am

Kristin says Haha, I say "Duck and cover!!!" Posted June 2, 2009, 11:28 am

mike says Noodles with just enough sauce to stick or meatballs. The more solid something is the easier it is to throw but it has to have some sauce for the splatter effect. Posted June 2, 2009, 11:30 am

ryan says i'd go for the cheesiest mac and cheese i could find, which would spread around to many people, but also go a good distance. but, if i really wanted to stain people's clothes, i'd prefer radish kimchi, which would do the same as the mac and cheese, but cause a real problem in terms of stain removal after the mayhem subsided... Posted June 2, 2009, 11:33 am

Amanda says Several gallons of chocolate pudding and a baby pool. Nuf said. Posted June 2, 2009, 11:39 am

Rae says My best food fight tip, from sitting at the nerd lunch table all through high school (obvious target) is yogurt! Slam it down on the table and the contents rocket out of the container in dramatic fashion. F=ma! Posted June 2, 2009, 11:40 am

Deborah says I am a chicken. My food fight tip.....hide under the table! Posted June 2, 2009, 11:47 am

Phil says Chickpeas are the best can hit many targets all in one throw.... Posted June 2, 2009, 11:47 am

Joanna says gotta fight with something squishy, skmirdgy or otherwise goobery. what's the fun if it's not messy! Posted June 2, 2009, 11:49 am

Nici says Pasta sauce all the way!

Nici Posted June 2, 2009, 11:50 am

Victor says best food fight tip: keep your mouth open. Posted June 2, 2009, 11:52 am

phillip horner says Chickpeas are the best! You can grab a ton of them at one time. Posted June 2, 2009, 11:54 am

206Guy says Flip up your table on its side to use as cover... snipe people using a bubble tea straw and tapioca! Posted June 2, 2009, 12:04 pm

Brian Jensen says Flying fish! Posted June 2, 2009, 12:04 pm

Kristin says Look for the items with filling. Easy to handle on the outside, and juicy filling has a messy impact. Posted June 2, 2009, 12:06 pm

Barbara says Well, whatever you do - don't run while in the middle of a food fight. There is a great chance that your body will go sailing across the floor from all the slippery goodness that has been flung about. Posted June 2, 2009, 12:09 pm

Gerard says Find the biggest guy/gal and use as a shield while launching your food missles. Posted June 2, 2009, 12:10 pm

Ross says grab a water gun and fill it with tomato soup Posted June 2, 2009, 12:16 pm

Tina says Best food fight food (I hope no points off for redundancy) ever is mashed sweet potatoes. With marshmallows. Sticks to anything, and is absolute torture to remove after it dries! Posted June 2, 2009, 12:19 pm

Laura says Best tip is to treat it like a snowball fight :) Keep it fun and light, nothing hard, and definitely turn on your team. Posted June 2, 2009, 12:19 pm

Vinny says My family would recommend cream puffs. Not because they are particularly aerodynamic, but because they make a very satisfying, "FWOP" sound upon impact. (Ah, yes, the Cream Puff Incident. Good times) Posted June 2, 2009, 12:20 pm

susan says Throw al dente pasta. It will stick to the victims. If it slides off, it's overdone. Posted June 2, 2009, 12:31 pm

Joy says Pasta with sauce is an awesome weapon--easy to glob together to throw, and it breaks apart in the air for maximum coverage when it strikes. Posted June 2, 2009, 12:35 pm

naomi says At a breakfast buffet, start by hurling oatmeal or cottage cheese, follow with various berries you have crushed with your hands (the better to stick to to the oatmeal/cottage cheese), follow with granola or cereal, then maple syrup or pancake syrup. Your opponents will be covered by a slimy, colorful, prickly/crunchy, sticky mess! Posted June 2, 2009, 12:42 pm

Robert says My best advice is to use your kids as you cavalry to distract your opposition. Then use the senior citizens as your generals because this not there first food fight so they when have a winning strategy. If that fails just throw all the food you can find. Posted June 2, 2009, 12:42 pm

Jeremy says Use pot covers as shields and load up on pies. Or you can use spaghetti to strangle someone. Posted June 2, 2009, 12:46 pm

Kristel says mix together a bunch of foods with similar gloppy textures - I'm thinking oatmeal, hummus, guacamole, mashed potatoes... for the ultimate mishmashed sticky mess! Posted June 2, 2009, 12:53 pm

Bonnie says Stay in the cold section of the buffet. Hot dishes are not fun to be hit with. And steer clear if it is a Mexican buffet- jalapenos in the eye- ouch! Posted June 2, 2009, 12:54 pm

ravenouscouple says Splash fish sauce... the small of nuoc mam will stay your target for weeks! Posted June 2, 2009, 12:57 pm

Mari says the classic fling with a spoon move! Posted June 2, 2009, 12:59 pm

aleta says It's mean, but salt. It gets in their eyes and incapacitates your opponent. Posted June 2, 2009, 1:11 pm

Lola says Start with liquids first, then semi-liquids, then powders. Posted June 2, 2009, 1:12 pm

Boulder says Anything pudding-like & a big serving spoon to be able to really fling the pudding-like item with great distance & accuracy. Posted June 2, 2009, 1:13 pm

Cindy says Try Spaghetti! It sticks to everything. Posted June 2, 2009, 1:14 pm

alexis says Best tip is just have fun and watch your back! Posted June 2, 2009, 1:16 pm

Karen says Sit as far away from the buffet as possible. You don't want to get trampled when things get nasty. Posted June 2, 2009, 1:21 pm

Suzi says Homemade biscuits! Duck! They'll kill ya the way I make em! Harder than rocks! Posted June 2, 2009, 1:29 pm

Fiona says squirt bottles filled with ketchup! Posted June 2, 2009, 1:32 pm

leanne says Buffet mac 'n cheese is usually sticky enough to form nice clumps. The weight keeps a nice trajectory on the pasta missile, too! Posted June 2, 2009, 1:37 pm

Jeremy says Depends on the food fight. Some of my favourites:

For an all out fight:
- Pasta. Sauce allows for some good coverage, noodles add some substance/weight for flinging.
- Cheese. The gooey-er the better. Could hurt though, if we're talking about melted cheese.
- Pie. Classic, but effective.
- Ripe fruit. Something satisfying about throwing a ripe tomato.

For the more subtle sneak-attack. My personal all time favourite:
- Bubble Tea! Large Straw + tapioca balls = extreme spitballs. You can even go machine gun style if you do it right. Posted June 2, 2009, 1:37 pm

Connie says When I was in junior high there was a huge food fight during the last week of school. I don't recall much mostly that there was food flying from all directions. What do I remember and will probably never forget is the main security guy yelling "stop it!! or I will take you all to detention!" while holding out both hands signaling stop... all of a sudden I saw a burrito explode on the side of his face - it was hilarious!!! many of us were laughing so hard we were crying. The few that were lucky to see that were retelling the story for weeks the following semester. Burritos... bean burritos... I'd totally use that as my weapon. Posted June 2, 2009, 1:38 pm

Roberta says Hmmm, some of those salad dressings would probably make good hair moisturizers! Posted June 2, 2009, 1:39 pm

Joyce says Sneak attack! Find the stickiest, drippiest, or stinkiest food there and sneak around behind enemy lines and rub it in the enemy's hair! Posted June 2, 2009, 1:42 pm

Chris says Clean off in the ocean. Posted June 2, 2009, 1:44 pm

Megan says Definitely sticky and easy to throw. I'm thinking rolls covered in butter and jam (the round shape will create ease in aim), and maybe noodles with peanut sauce flung wildly. Bananas are a nice boomerang shape and splat upon landing. The options are endless! Posted June 2, 2009, 1:57 pm

Sean says A slip and slide table cloth and several pitchers of water are necessary for personal transportation. Mentos and coke combine for full distribution of food artillery. Weaponized food balls should include mashed peppers (hotter the better), crushed garlic, finely chopped onions, fillets of sardines and anchovies, and lime juice encased in thin layer of Filo dough. Actually, I'm hungry now... :( Posted June 2, 2009, 2:00 pm

Sara says Best food fight tip - be the first to start it and then duck and cover! Posted June 2, 2009, 2:03 pm

Courtney says Anything flat, like pancakes, waffles, hamburger patties will make excellent frisbees. Go for distance! And spread a little something red or sticky on the top for added splat power. Posted June 2, 2009, 2:07 pm

Dawn in CA says If I am on offense, I think something like meatballs or hard-boiled eggs would be best. Not as messy as pudding or mashed potatoes, but more accurate. ;) Posted June 2, 2009, 2:11 pm

Sara says I would say sticky liquid foods would be best for a food fight...something like mashed potatoes, pudding, cottage cheese, salad dressings. Just get a handful or a spoon and let it fly. I was also thinking something like salad toppings like kidney beans or garbanzo beans or peas. You can get some pretty good distance with those. Posted June 2, 2009, 2:14 pm

megan says oil down the area around you and place banana peels all over it! Posted June 2, 2009, 2:14 pm

Hannah says first you get 'em with something sticky, chocolate sauce, caramel, honey, syrup... then you follow up with powdered sugar or flour. what a mess! Posted June 2, 2009, 2:17 pm

MattyB says I have to agree with several of the commenters, mashed potatoes are the way to go. Mix it with some chocolate sauce and your opponents don't stand a chance!

Also, if it's cafeteria style with a tray...you have a great shield. Take off your belt and wrap it around so you have a handle and you're good to go! Posted June 2, 2009, 2:24 pm

Anne says fling fast!, fling furiously!, and DUCK! Posted June 2, 2009, 2:46 pm

Laura says You've got to create some exploding grenades...wrap something saucey and stainy like meatballs in sauce or beef stew in that Kleenex-like white bread. Toss, and watch it explode all over your opponent. Posted June 2, 2009, 2:57 pm

Sandra says Put me at the dessert station! Jello to distract, and ice cream condiments to smother! Posted June 2, 2009, 2:59 pm

Amy says Grab anything and everything and throw as fast as possible! Posted June 2, 2009, 3:16 pm

Melanie says Jello...lots of jello:) Posted June 2, 2009, 3:22 pm

Stephanie says Best food fight option is to stock up on bread products! They make the best projectiles without leaving you messy like mashed potaoes do. I have 3 younger brothers….I know!!!!!

Lynn says Two words: Brussel sprouts. Those little babies nestle nicely inside the bowl of a spoon while the spoon handle provides excellent leverage to catapult one across the room. By the time the brussel sprout lands in someone's hair or plate, you can be innocently sipping your drink. Posted June 2, 2009, 3:42 pm

Laurie says gotta go with the mashed potatoes... they've got a nice heft that they'll sling far, and they stick marvelously, especially to hair. :P :) Posted June 2, 2009, 3:47 pm

Chrissy says Best tip? Gotta use a spoon as a launching device!! Posted June 2, 2009, 3:54 pm

Lucy says Ice cubes down the shirt. And don't food fight on a empty stomach, or you'll be tempted to eat the ammo. Posted June 2, 2009, 4:00 pm

Thad says I bring my scrapple everywhere for occasions like this. I just show them the brick and it's all over. Posted June 2, 2009, 4:01 pm

The Duo Dishes says Cheezwiz on the floor to make 'em slip then toss roasted taters at them for added bang. Posted June 2, 2009, 4:02 pm

Becca says I would hate to see all that food go to waste! But I would try grabbing a person to use as a human shield. Posted June 2, 2009, 4:06 pm

sarah says grab all the rolls; flip a table and GO FOR IT! =D Posted June 2, 2009, 4:15 pm

gaga says Use an umberella as a shield and and a slingshot to get your food to go farther! Posted June 2, 2009, 4:17 pm

Risa says The classic tomato has a satisfying "splat" if ripe enough. Posted June 2, 2009, 4:29 pm

Matt says Dinner rolls soaked in whatever liquid is available. SPLAT! Posted June 2, 2009, 4:33 pm

Jared says Peas folded into mashed potatoes. Sort of a sticky shotgun blast. Posted June 2, 2009, 4:35 pm

Pete says Don't throw anything you plan on eating! Posted June 2, 2009, 5:01 pm

Anna says One word: Durian. The fight will be yours, completely and entirely, even before you start. They will be quaking in fear. Posted June 2, 2009, 5:07 pm

samantha says a poncho is definitely in order. especially when you start throwing pudding. Posted June 2, 2009, 5:11 pm

Tess says make sure you can mash it up into a ball - it flies farther when you throw it! :) Posted June 2, 2009, 5:19 pm

Shannon says Open your mouth- WIDE! Posted June 2, 2009, 5:21 pm

Carol says Um, if there's a cream pie, make sure someone tosses it at my face. Posted June 2, 2009, 5:21 pm

Helen says Ice cream is best for hand-to-hand combat. Just slide it down someone's back, and see them take off (or spend the rest of the fight targeting you!) Posted June 2, 2009, 5:36 pm

Jennifer says Water balloons of soy sauce and mustard! Mixed or separate, these condiments pack a punch. Posted June 2, 2009, 5:49 pm

Bria says What could I possibly suggest but....caramel-covered marshmallows! Not only do they have excellent sticking powers, but they are very likely to distract your opponent (who will be overwhelmed with the need to eat them) and give you the upper hand. Posted June 2, 2009, 6:12 pm

Jaded says Eggs... preferrably raw cuz they would probably hurt your enemy with shards of eggshell. Throw them rapidly so they sting like paintballs. >;] Posted June 2, 2009, 6:13 pm

Marvin says fight with your mouth open. you can fight and be fed at the same time. Posted June 2, 2009, 6:16 pm

Carmen says sticky sugary foods that are hard to wash off and get stuck in the hair! :) Posted June 2, 2009, 6:22 pm

Kim says Any and all sauces - they'll get in people's hair, stain their clothes, get in their eyes so they can't see, and get the floor slippery so they fall down! Victory is mine! :-) Posted June 2, 2009, 6:23 pm

Dan & Joy says use squid ink for water guns. yup. Posted June 2, 2009, 6:25 pm

Dan & Joy says use squid ink for water guns! haha Posted June 2, 2009, 6:30 pm

Thien-Kim says Hmmm, how about hooking up a hose to the frozen yogurt machine? That be so much fun! Posted June 2, 2009, 6:31 pm

Mary says go for the gooey foods like mashed potatoes - they stick the best! Posted June 2, 2009, 6:47 pm

Rachael says It may not win, but I love the *splat* of instant mashed potatoes. Posted June 2, 2009, 6:56 pm

Holly says You know, I'm going to have to stick with a classic - grab any bottled available, especially if they are in squeeze containers, open 'em up, aim let 'er rip - ketchup can squirt pretty far you know (I know from experience!). Posted June 2, 2009, 7:07 pm

Rose says Use the tray for a shield, hide behind it, and scarf the lovely seafood while everyone else is distracted. Posted June 2, 2009, 7:19 pm

Barry says Grab many of anything with confectioner's sugar on it, combine them to use as a smoke grenade to maneuver to get more supplies. Any sauce is nice for a broad spectrum hit but avoid the hot ones. It's not a real fight after all. Posted June 2, 2009, 7:36 pm

Marcy says The best food fight is with jello. Throw it at someone and watch it bounce! Posted June 2, 2009, 7:54 pm

Levi says I envision a food fight of epic proportion, rivaling the main fight scenes in Braveheart or 300. Crisp baguettes used as swords for hand-to-hand combat, giant stock-pot lid for arm carried shield, ripe and juicy beefsteak tomatoes as long distance grenades, strawberry cheesecakes for morale destroying “Frisbee” bombs, cream filled chocolate éclairs for assault on encroaching combatants, fresh drawn butter spread on the floor to destabilize oncoming ground forces, Asian cooking ladles to fling mashed potatoes and gravy, sticky maple syrup soaked Belgian waffle “disc’s of death”, and the obligatory hurling of tangy lemon meringue pies in rapid-fire succession to completely over-power the last remaining participants. With the complete arsenal of a well-stocked buffet at my fingertips, I foresee the absolute domination of my opponents, followed by raucous frolicking celebration, using champagne to dowse myself & victims in a jubilant dance of victorious merriment! Posted June 2, 2009, 7:57 pm

Alisha says I love the colorful food fight in the movie Hook. The more color, the better! Add some food coloring to the mashed potatoes. A squirt bottle of ketchup and jello jigglers make awesome weapons, too! Posted June 2, 2009, 9:04 pm

Sharon from newlywedcooking says Jaden, you rock!! :) ? Well, if the fight ensues somewhere like the Club Med buffet or Ritz Carlton, open your mouth wide if you see something yummy flying in the air!

Posted June 2, 2009, 9:12 pm

Patty S. says My best advice in a food fight? Duck. Posted June 2, 2009, 9:25 pm

Kyong says if there's a chocolate fountain - that would be a lot of gooey ammunition to throw 'round! Posted June 2, 2009, 9:50 pm

Katey says Stealth attack...definitely. Oh and as for the ammunition? Go for the splat factor. My personal favorite? Whole cloves of roasted garlic. It is the trifecta of food fight ammo. It sticks where it hits, it has a long lasting smell factor, and it virtually explodes on contact. Ahh....I can hear it now. Bedlam. Posted June 2, 2009, 9:55 pm

kia says King crab legs make great swords. Posted June 2, 2009, 9:59 pm

gummy says i'd throw all the foods i don't want to eat but feel guilty throwing away, i.e. muffin stumps. it's not wasteful if it's going to a good cause and a food fight is definitely a good cause Posted June 2, 2009, 10:09 pm

David says It's all about Texture & Consistency - Think about what will happen with a direct hit! Posted June 2, 2009, 10:16 pm

Cookin' Canuck says Hide under a table, put any round object on a spoon (take your pick - meatball, hard-boiled egg) and catapult away! Posted June 2, 2009, 10:19 pm

Wendy says Marshmallow Fluff - fistfuls of goo sticking to you AND your prey! Posted June 2, 2009, 10:58 pm

Christine says Ketchup and Hot Fudge in the bottle, for more squirting power. :-) Posted June 2, 2009, 11:37 pm

Lee says Grab that bowl of cocktail sauce and plate of bagels ... dip bagels in sauce and hurl Posted June 2, 2009, 11:47 pm

Hanna says if it's a korean-style buffet, throw the japchae around. rice is also good since you can pretend to be having a snowball fight! Posted June 2, 2009, 11:47 pm

Cathy says Hamburger patties!!! We have actually used this in the past and now that I think of it, it's perfect for a buffet! We had a BBQ at my brothers house, he has land attached to him that's state owned. People illegally ride dirt bikes on the state owned property attached to his backyard. Our kids went on a hike on this property to the reservoir down below. Shortly after the kids past our eye site a group of kids illegally started to speed by on their dirt bikes. My BIL was at the grill and we were afraid the kids on the dirt bikes were going to run down our children. We literally yelled at them, they stopped and looked at us as my BIL pelted hamburger patties from our grill at them. We have a picture of it! It stopped them in their tracks! I would pelt a hamburger patty at anyone in my way at a buffet! I KNOW it will stop them in their tracks! Posted June 3, 2009, 12:03 am

Michelle says I've never been in one, but I think the dessert trays would be the way to go. Sticky and yummy - what more could you want? Posted June 3, 2009, 12:50 am

Mia von Doom says I say stick to condiments in bottles and cans - ketchup, squeezy mayo, chocolate syrup... even whipped cream in a squirty can! Very messy yet oh so accurate!

Jasmine says Everything on the table and don't stop! Posted June 3, 2009, 1:31 am

Janet says You know, if you redirect the blades on those chocolate fountains, and start aiming, you could have THE most awesome chocolate rain shower! Posted June 3, 2009, 1:39 am

Nancy says Waffles -- standard brunch fare AND aerodynamic! Posted June 3, 2009, 1:48 am

Donna says I would shoot olives like a BB gun whoever comes near my way. Watch out! Posted June 3, 2009, 1:56 am

J.D. says Mix up hot and cold dishes to keep 'em guessing. Posted June 3, 2009, 2:07 am

Jay says Grab a bowl as a helmet and a plate as a shield.
Soup in bread bowls make great grenades! Posted June 3, 2009, 3:05 am

Eileen says Gotta use stinky tofu! Throw some mushy stinky tofu at your enemy's face and maybe add some durian, too! Then run run run away as fast as you can! Posted June 3, 2009, 3:25 am

ruth says I would take a Breakfast Buffet fight, First you have Eggs , scrambled they stick to everything , fried can be flung like a discus dripping with oil, hard boiled ,can achieved great speed and explode upon impact, poached, just down right messy. Then you have meats, Bacon , slimy and oil coated, Link Sausage , little greasy batons that can slap you upside the head . How about Oatmeal, just think about the hot stuff sticking to your skin.Pastries of all kinds are super projectiles with many toppings and fillings , chocolate, jam , powdered sugar, fruits. And what about a whole smoked salmon, grab that baby by the tail and swing.
Waffles ,with wipped cream , Pancakes and French toast with hot syurp
And if this Breakfast Buffett has got and Asian audience you may get lucky and get Congee with all the toppings!
Of Course there is Coffee , Tea ,and Hot Chocolate and maybe just maybe a bottle of Champagne to shake and spray just to end the fight with real class.

momgateway says Never been in a food fight but natto rockets sounds gross to me. WHat do you think? Posted June 3, 2009, 3:58 am

Jin says Grab a platter of crudite! Use them as crisp little veggie projectiles, that may or may not be covered in sauces. Get ranch in your opponent's eyes for extra points! Posted June 3, 2009, 5:46 am

Shane says PROTIP: If you wear glasses, take them off ahead of time!! You won't need precision vision to fling food, and you will be a big fat target if you have to stop and clean them a lot!! Posted June 3, 2009, 7:19 am

sheela says Have a watermelon fight- you have to cut open a watermelon without knives. Karate comes in handy. Posted June 3, 2009, 8:04 am

Marcus says someone mentioned peas...that reminds me of a little jingle my siblings and I used to sing when we were in kindergarten, "Peas are explosives, that's good enough for me. Peas are explosives, that's good enough for me." (to the tune of C is for Cookies). I'd have to say though that aside from shotgunning the peas, they don't work out quite as well as the song would imply. Posted June 3, 2009, 8:08 am

Karen says Take two carbonated beverage bottles of your choice. Shake well. Shake again. One more time. Point top *away* from you. Open caps. Enjoy the chaos. Rinse and repeat with second bottle. Posted June 3, 2009, 8:16 am

Maryann says A big ol' slab of roast beef to just slap your way through the melee. Posted June 3, 2009, 8:31 am

Heidi says One word - guacamole Posted June 3, 2009, 8:37 am

Suzi says The most effective is plain old spaghetti! Launched with a Tablespoon, it flings well and splatters nicely! Posted June 3, 2009, 8:56 am

Jean says the messier the better - spaghetti! Posted June 3, 2009, 8:59 am

kribss says animal house style- food in your mouth and pop like a zit spraying said food all over. Posted June 3, 2009, 9:13 am

Amanda says Flapjack frisbee. :) Posted June 3, 2009, 11:15 am

Nici says Pasta sauce baby!! Posted June 3, 2009, 11:22 am

Rivka says Count me in for the contest! Gotta agree with the commenter above -- best food fight is flapkjack frisbee. Especially with camp pancakes. Posted June 3, 2009, 11:22 am

Jean says At all times be prepared with a plastic spoon in your pocket. In addition, always always have mashed potatoes on your plate. This strategy will provide you with instant on the spot ammunition. If you are foresighted enough to have additional hamburger patties on your plate you have frisbees!!! And melon balls? Whoa baby!!! Posted June 3, 2009, 11:24 am

nanaenay says broccoli holds the dip quite well in a fling! and it's tasty too. Posted June 3, 2009, 11:25 am

Lark says Sticky Rice!!! It's like having a snowball fight. Plus there's the added shrapnel affect when the rice ball hit's it's target! Posted June 3, 2009, 11:38 am

David says If it's a breakfast buffet, grab for the danish! Their circular shape gives them great aerodynamic lift and you can fling them like a frisbee - they'll sail a mile! If no danish, bagels will work in a pinch. Posted June 3, 2009, 11:44 am

Sharon says individual pizzas get nice distance and have a satisfying splat-ratio! Posted June 3, 2009, 11:49 am

Yolanda says Jaden -

Good afternoon. The recipe for a great food fight is pasta sauce, it stains the opposition clothes. Posted June 3, 2009, 12:34 pm

Jennie says Hmmmm. You gotta go with the old standby Spaghetti. Posted June 3, 2009, 12:54 pm

Ivar says I'd say go with the classic cream pie to the face just like The Three Stooges would have done it. Make sure to watch a few of Moe, Larry and Curly's classic shorts to get the proper technique down first, however, as it's not as easy to accurately toss a pie as you might think. Posted June 3, 2009, 1:18 pm

Kusuma says smear wasabi all over your opponents' nose ... and the buffet is all yours, at least for a while. Posted June 3, 2009, 1:27 pm

Kelly says Bean salad scattershot. Posted June 3, 2009, 5:13 pm

Carolyn G says Have a variety of food available. Make sure to have some mini appetizers, then you must have something mushy like polenta, whipped cream for the slime factor. THen make sure you have something substantial like cake. Always make sure to not run out of food! Posted June 3, 2009, 5:14 pm

Blake says I think mayo would be the ultimate, stinky food fight weapon. Posted June 3, 2009, 5:14 pm

Jen H says Potato Salad all the way! Posted June 3, 2009, 5:15 pm

Milcah says Show me the food. :) Posted June 3, 2009, 5:20 pm

Anne says All this talk of food fighting is bringing out my OCD! Can handle the thought if strictly virtual! Posted June 3, 2009, 5:25 pm

Bria says Wear overalls - more places to hide ammunition. Posted June 3, 2009, 5:27 pm

rachel says stay away from the beets! Posted June 3, 2009, 5:29 pm

Teri says Don't be afraid to get messy! Posted June 3, 2009, 5:34 pm

Jasmine says Develop a strong throwing arm! Posted June 3, 2009, 5:34 pm

Natanya says Let's not forget putting ice down someone's shirt to distract them. There should be tons of it on a good buffet! Posted June 3, 2009, 5:34 pm

Thien-Kim says I was making a cheater's paella today and thought, why not fling sticky rice? That would be hard to clean. Posted June 3, 2009, 5:40 pm

Brittany says anything in a squirty bottle! just point and shoot! =) Posted June 3, 2009, 5:40 pm

Brandon says Yes, count me in for the contest, as well!

And butter as the ultimate weapon--flung, smeared, strategically applied everywhere for maximum take-down-age. Posted June 3, 2009, 5:42 pm

Crystal (Cafe Cyan) says Never been in a food fight, but I'd say mashed potatoes would be fun! Posted June 3, 2009, 5:51 pm

Mary says A food fight's the only good use for Jello as far as I'm concerned. Waffles are good - fling 'em like frisbees. Posted June 3, 2009, 5:55 pm

JohnTheBastard says Emptying a boat of brown gravy down the back of someone's pants more or less puts them out of commission. Posted June 3, 2009, 6:04 pm

jennifer says Will probably gain a ton of weight, but count me in!!! Posted June 3, 2009, 6:05 pm

jennifer says Balloons filled with liquid...water, gravy, soup, wet jello...sure would explode spectacularly. Posted June 3, 2009, 6:09 pm

Sallie says Always keep your hands full... and your head down! Posted June 3, 2009, 6:19 pm

Cindy says Find cover... fast. Posted June 3, 2009, 6:24 pm

Carla says wear swimming goggles and cap. Posted June 3, 2009, 6:32 pm

Doreen says LOL... some fabulous and creative suggestions appear in the comments here ... I'd probably find a vantage point far enough out of the action to watch from ... and then make a sneak attack as all of the action is dying down ... Posted June 3, 2009, 7:19 pm

Brian says Eat during the chaos, then launch leftovers when everyone else is tired. Posted June 3, 2009, 7:32 pm

Doreen says I followed clubmedcuisine and twitter and tweeted "Follow @clubmedcuisine and enter via http://cli.gs/4qjRrJ for a free vacation at Club Med's Food and Wine Festival!" Posted June 3, 2009, 7:34 pm

ravenouscouple says Slam a durian in someone's gut.....these spikey fruits will stop anyone in their tracks. Posted June 3, 2009, 8:30 pm

Debbie says I go to "all-you-can-eat" lobster and shimp just for ammuniition for a potential food fight. Not only does a lobster leg have a nice heft to it, but the scent will linger on the players. Posted June 3, 2009, 8:31 pm

reva says I would go straight up pie. You have crust for some body and the filling for the ooze factor. The best of both worlds there. Posted June 3, 2009, 8:34 pm

Debbie says “Follow @clubmedcuisine and enter via http://cli.gs/4qjRrJ for a free vacation at Club Med's Food and Wine Festival!” Posted June 3, 2009, 8:39 pm

Steve-Anna says Same advice for an earthquake - duck, cover and hold on! Posted June 3, 2009, 8:53 pm

Elisabeth says Salad condiments, salad condiments, salad condiments! Posted June 3, 2009, 8:57 pm

Patty S. says Stand directly across from the guy throwing lobster. Posted June 3, 2009, 9:01 pm

Cris says Don't be afraid to take a hit. In a food fight the odds are that the object will be both soft and tasty. Posted June 3, 2009, 9:51 pm

Lauren says Use a colander with a long handle to fling mini marshmallows. You can get them to fly quite far! Posted June 3, 2009, 10:00 pm

Kelly says In battle I'm all about stunning my opponent to gain the upper hand. I find a nice scone to the back of the head usually does the trick! Your opponent is dazed based on the weight of the item, and it leaves you free to pick up items that have maximum weight and distribution advantages: bread pudding, chunks of meat from the carving station. Don't waste time with the small stuff, or anything that will break apart upon propulsion like vegetables and pasta unless the pasta is in sauce. And no matter what, just keep throwing. Even if you can't see. Even if you feel like your arm may fall off because of how hard and frequently you're throwing. Pretend like you're leading your squad out of Vietnam and show no mercy. Posted June 3, 2009, 10:24 pm

Ashley says go for something bouncy like a hard boiled egg, or something splattery like mashed potatoes...and get ready to duck! Posted June 3, 2009, 11:18 pm

Helen says Focus on the items you can throw by hand that are slightly sticky. Pieces of french toast covered in syrup would be perfect. Posted June 3, 2009, 11:52 pm

Amy says Go for the salad bar.......cherry tomatoes, hard boiled eggs and peas make good ammunition! Posted June 3, 2009, 11:58 pm

Lola says Throw for short distances and go for quantity. Posted June 4, 2009, 12:29 am

Michelle says Chocolate sauce using a squeeze bottle. Posted June 4, 2009, 12:38 am

Michelle says Chocolate sauce in a squeeze bottle. Posted June 4, 2009, 12:41 am

Amy I. says I hope this counts... I'd stay the heck away! Posted June 4, 2009, 1:56 am

Janet says Blintz Bombs!! Oh the splatter is nasty!! Posted June 4, 2009, 1:58 am

emy says I don't want to waste food.....hiding one of the chocolate cake is a sweet revenge...

Posted June 4, 2009, 2:10 am

Bryan says Bucket-o-pudding from the salad bar. Even comes with a long handled spoon for long range attacks... Team up with the dude who grabbed the chocolate covered cream puffs, to take care of the ones that got through the pudding projectiles. =) Posted June 4, 2009, 2:24 am

Bryan says Bucket-o-pudding from the salad bar. Even comes with a long handled spoon for long range attacks... Team up with the dude who grabbed the chocolate covered cream puffs, to take care of the ones that got through the pudding projectiles. =) Posted June 4, 2009, 2:24 am

Lisa says My food fight tip? Besides leaving the scene quickly? I would say mashed potatoes would be the perfect weapon. Dense enough to throw far distances, yet not really stain inducing like the pickled beets. :O) Thanks for the chance to win! Posted June 4, 2009, 3:01 am

Deepa says Wear clothes that you can pop into the wash easily. ESP if you can get them off without pulling them over your head! Posted June 4, 2009, 3:38 am

gabi says arm oneself with a bucket of live Korean octopus (the more tentacles the better). those suckers are gonna stick on and never come off. protect oneself with a N95 mask and a Tyvek suit. cling wrap will do to protect your own hair from projectile food from enemies :) Posted June 4, 2009, 4:03 am

Julie says Something along the lines of molasses/chicken feather combo...get something sticky like pudding, chocolate syrup, or caramel sauce then let the rainbow sprinkles fly! Posted June 4, 2009, 7:25 am

Julia says Start with a liquid, anything will do, then top with flour, sugar or any other dry good that will leave distinctly unpleasant results Posted June 4, 2009, 7:37 am

Jessie says I'm a big fan of something like mashed potatoes or squash on the spoon catapult. The best part is, that if you're starting the food fight with this, the target will usually turn their head to avoid getting the food on their face, and will instead get an earful of it. Posted June 4, 2009, 8:24 am

Jeanette says Spaghetti, and aim for the hair. Posted June 4, 2009, 8:37 am

Jessica says Commandeer the salad dressing!! Posted June 4, 2009, 8:38 am

Jim says Chicken drumsticks and dinner rolls make excellent missle weapons. For an international touch, use asian BBQ spare ribs as tasty boomerangs. Posted June 4, 2009, 8:38 am

EAT! says Mashed potatoes. They will stick to your target. Posted June 4, 2009, 8:52 am

Jean says I've never been in a food fight...but I think it would be fun to throw a pie at someone's face! Posted June 4, 2009, 8:56 am

Marcus says That's a lot of good ideas...I concur with the ice cream-down-the-back suggestion. This requires a stealthy, ninja-like approach for best results. Bonus points if you can get a girlie scream out of a big guy. Posted June 4, 2009, 8:57 am

Van says Mirepoix: warm ammo Posted June 4, 2009, 9:02 am

Brandon says I WANT to win this contest. FF tip: lots of chewed gum on the floor--it'll slow the enemy down. Posted June 4, 2009, 9:05 am

Joy says Two words: raw eggs. Posted June 4, 2009, 9:17 am

Brian Jensen says Swordfish, whole! Posted June 4, 2009, 9:21 am

Rob says for a nice splat sound you can't beat the egg off eggs benidict Posted June 4, 2009, 9:28 am

Allison says Well my goodness! I've never been in a food fight, but these comments sure make me want to start one. Somehow my food fight visions went straight for the dessert bar--pies and cakes right to the face. Chucking ladlefuls of pudding. I love imagining how jello would just bounce right off. And ice cream! We could give new meaning to "ice cream headache!" Posted June 4, 2009, 9:37 am

Amanda says a marshmallow gun! Posted June 4, 2009, 9:53 am

David says Melon or cantaloupe chunks make excellent ammo! Enough weight to give them some "heft", but high liquid content makes a great splat on contact! Posted June 4, 2009, 9:55 am

Yolanda says Jaden - Good morning. A perfect food fight would include lots of spaghetti noodles. Posted June 4, 2009, 10:05 am

gabriel says I'm in.!! Posted June 4, 2009, 10:05 am

Alanna says Batter - sticky and messy! Posted June 4, 2009, 10:06 am

erinjvc says Tortellini covered in pesto. Heavy enough to throw and has the very messy/ oily factor too. I mean, you want your opponents to walk away looking they had been demolished! Posted June 4, 2009, 10:16 am

Justopia says Thought I'd added this earlier, but just to be sure:

Sticky is key. Load up a tortilla with guacamole for a guac-bomb. It can easily stick to a forehead and become a vehicle for someone to help lick off, gracefully, of course. And voila! A new Club Med friendship is born. Honey on a sopapilla would work quite well for a sweeter effect. :)
Posted June 4, 2009, 10:16 am

Krystal says Let's get down to business. How about a nice chunky spaghetti sauce hurled through the crowd with your bare hands?!

Or, if you really wanted to harm your assailants, try some stonecrab... shells on of course. Posted June 4, 2009, 10:21 am

Sauvage says Best fight was with tomato juice (like blood on our skins!)
Posted June 4, 2009, 10:43 am

Scott says It depends on how you define "great". I would define it as "epic" which would involve at least several inches of food on everything -- floors, tables, seats, people. So, that means... grab a tray and throw away! Posted June 4, 2009, 11:17 am

Jessica says There's no reason to be involved in a "fight" if there isn't going to be a winner. I admit that play dirty, so I'd go for lethal projectiles...apples, oranges, hard boiled eggs, meatballs fra-diavolo, hot-sauce soaked dinner rolls etc. Posted June 4, 2009, 11:49 am

Anna says Step 1: Procure balut. Step 2: Crack balut open with spoon. Step 3: Show contents to your opponent. Food Fight Instant win! Posted June 4, 2009, 11:58 am

SusanR says Hard boiled eggs bounce nicely...if properly thrown, you can hit two targets with one egg!

Susan Posted June 4, 2009, 12:15 pm

nate says Beat opponents silly with Alaskan king crab legs! Posted June 4, 2009, 12:46 pm

Christy says Fling little salad bar items with your spoon - peas, seeds, corn, cherry tomatoes all work well Posted June 4, 2009, 1:06 pm

Dale says It's all about stuffing as much food in your mouth as you can and re-creating Bluto's "I'm a zit" routine from Animal House... Posted June 4, 2009, 1:13 pm

Brittany says use a plate to bat stuff away from you! or a tablecloth as a cloak! Posted June 4, 2009, 1:17 pm

Debbie says Bring a partner - really, food fights require the "buddy-system". As a team, you can take over the ice or frosty machine. One team-member reloads and the other launches. Posted June 4, 2009, 1:21 pm

Lars says Oranges are good for final blows.. :D

WHAM! Posted June 4, 2009, 1:30 pm

Helen says If all else fail, grab the jello and mashed potatoes: it's like spackle and glue at this point! Posted June 4, 2009, 1:37 pm

Sarah says I agree with comments that food has to be flung fast and furious! Grab and go! Also, more color is better....think deep rich color. If you have a choice between strawberry jello and strawberry sauce, sauce wins every time! Posted June 4, 2009, 1:38 pm

Donna says Make some homemade marshmallow goo, and just before it's done, lift the mixer out of the bowl and splatter everyone and everything in sight! FOOD FIGHT!
Posted June 4, 2009, 1:41 pm

Colin says Raw eggs. Vicious. Posted June 4, 2009, 1:53 pm

Tram says Think "filled" pastries, or anything that is solid on the outside but juicy on the inside. Explode on impact. That's gotta be fun to watch! Posted June 4, 2009, 1:58 pm

Jennie says How about milkshakes? Cold and messy. Posted June 4, 2009, 2:22 pm

Marti says Nothing like ice down the neck in an exotic tropical locale... Posted June 4, 2009, 2:33 pm

Purna says Ketchup and mustard bottles are always a good defense - with long distance reach capabilities. Posted June 4, 2009, 2:36 pm

Christine says Cherry/Blueberry pie. For lasting effect. Posted June 4, 2009, 3:13 pm

Carolyn says Head straight for the salad dressings for the wet ammunition and use the salad fixings (crutons, nuts, etc.) to stick onto your drenched victims. Posted June 4, 2009, 3:16 pm

Jenny says I think custard pies would have the best comedy effect, or any kind of cream pie. Posted June 4, 2009, 3:32 pm

marshall says Use straws as blowdart shooters and use mashed up peas and mashed potatoes as blowdarts. Stealthily move around the room as a snyper and take people out! Posted June 4, 2009, 3:42 pm

Carolyn G says http://twitter.com/carogonza/status/2033430957 june 4 tweet Posted June 4, 2009, 3:42 pm

Jennifer says Go for the jello, always. It has the best flingability. Posted June 4, 2009, 3:42 pm

Deanna says A giant bowl of mashed potatoes and a cookie dough scoop to make perfect balls with! Posted June 4, 2009, 3:51 pm

Leslie says Something that you could grab easily and throw would be my first go to items such as eggs (deveiled would be great) or baby red potatoes! Posted June 4, 2009, 4:00 pm

Doreen says No Surrender Baby... No Surrender! Posted June 4, 2009, 4:08 pm

Andrea says ice water minus the cubes...those hurt! Posted June 4, 2009, 4:09 pm

Cara says I'm thinking that corn is good too. Easy to fling, and hard to avoid. Posted June 4, 2009, 4:12 pm

Annie says Choose items like nuggets that are compact projectiles that will fly through the air well but not injure your target. :) Posted June 4, 2009, 4:18 pm

Digigirl says Hmmm.... running out of things to say here. How about the call to fight - "Lay On!" Posted June 4, 2009, 4:23 pm

Jacquie says Cereal is good but not sticky enough. Maybe a fistful of sugary cereal, dipped into some milk, and then flung? That may be too elaborate a set up... Posted June 4, 2009, 4:38 pm

Nici says Pasta sauce baby!!! Posted June 4, 2009, 4:55 pm

Marcy says Again... jello is the way to go! Posted June 4, 2009, 5:03 pm

Susan says Sauce, sauce, and more sauce!!!!! Posted June 4, 2009, 5:23 pm

Jennifer says Peas! Lots and lots of peas. Posted June 4, 2009, 6:29 pm

Shannon says pastries or Italian food! Posted June 4, 2009, 6:43 pm

Kim says Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are great secret weapons. Peel 'em apart and toss. Posted June 4, 2009, 7:07 pm

Christie says I would make a stockpile of food so that I would never run out of ammo! Rolls are the easiest to throw and are accurate, but throwing a handful of mashed potatoes makes the best SQUELCH when it hits someone :) Posted June 4, 2009, 7:08 pm

terri says start the fight (making sure that it looks like someone else did it), hide, and watch the fun! Posted June 4, 2009, 7:32 pm

Patty S. says Wear something washable. Posted June 4, 2009, 9:12 pm

Christa says My food fight tip? Mashed Potato bombs! stuff paper napkins with mashed potatoes and fling away! Posted June 4, 2009, 9:26 pm

Jo B. says Pudding and make sure you have some kind of make shift shield to hide behind when everybody else starts getting involved. Posted June 4, 2009, 9:36 pm

Sam says Handfuls of fruit coctail! Posted June 4, 2009, 9:52 pm

Mark says Spaghetti, salad dressings, and jello! Good to go. Posted June 4, 2009, 10:03 pm

Helen says Be light on your feet and duck! Posted June 4, 2009, 10:20 pm

Gail says Do it outside where the mess does not matter. Posted June 4, 2009, 10:45 pm

Javier says This would be a turning point in my life–as a whole–seriously.

over-cooked spaghetti man in super sweet sauce, sweet starch-snowballs as I like to call them, don’t ask how.

Debbie in AZ says Flick the peas at your opponent to distract her with one hand and hurl jello cubes with the other hand.

Debbie in AZ Posted June 5, 2009, 12:33 am

Dylan says powdered sugar! Did this in college with two of my girlfriends. We left a sugar trail around the dorm. Posted June 5, 2009, 6:25 am

Denise says Denise: I would choose brussel sprouts, sushi or cherry tomatoes to throw. These items are eaiser to handle and will hit their targets with more accuracy. Posted June 5, 2009, 8:59 am

Marcus says Throwing something dry and splashing with something wet to get the slimy effect works wonders. Posted June 5, 2009, 9:10 am

Alanna says throwing really ripe and mushy fruit, like tomatoes. Posted June 5, 2009, 11:02 am

Debbie says I am on my way to Harrah's Rincon to scout the buffet. Gathering intelligence on the food table layout is critical. In a food fight, accessiblity and maneuverability can be the key to success. Posted June 5, 2009, 11:07 am

John says I would definitely go with mashed potatoes. If not too moist, works just like a snowball Posted June 5, 2009, 11:08 am

I'm realizing I fight dirty, good thing food fights don't come up much for me! Posted June 5, 2009, 11:23 am

Nici says Pasta sauce baby!! Posted June 5, 2009, 11:58 am

Lys says In lieu of mashed potatos, why not try some mac & cheese - good distance, good "splat-a-bility" and can break apart while airborne... Posted June 5, 2009, 12:01 pm

Lara says sunglasses to shield and grab and throw like there is no tomorrow :) Posted June 5, 2009, 12:13 pm

Theresa says keep your mouth OPEN! Posted June 5, 2009, 12:16 pm

Shannon says tobasco can make a wonderful weapon! Posted June 5, 2009, 2:51 pm

Lola says Eat while you toss, keep your energy up. Posted June 5, 2009, 2:53 pm

Brian Jensen says Squid! Posted June 5, 2009, 3:13 pm

Kristine says Most of my trusted methods have already been submitted, but since this is a Club Med Buffet post, I will steer away from cafeteria methods and focus on yummy buffet tips. First step - construct a food fight "smock" by stealing all of your fellow table mates' napkins. Tuck one everywhere on your body. Wrap one around your head (who likes sauce or mysterious starchy substances in their hair?). Just beware that you aren't making yourself look like a klansmen! Step two - Use one of those napkins as an ammunitions carrier. Fill with gathered raw oysters - take 'em out of the shell (bonus points for putting tabasco and cocktail sauce on them first) and fire away. Load caviar into spoons. Only grab crab legs if you are in imminent danger, I repeat, only go for the crab legs if you are about to get seriously ambushed. HAVE FUN!! Posted June 5, 2009, 3:21 pm

Aimee says My tip, go messy or go home. Don't worry about what will get the best air, better to hold on to in mass amounts to throw-just go for the item that will do the most damage and make a mess! Posted June 5, 2009, 4:41 pm

Alta says I'm a big fan of the old-fashioned pea shooter...big straw with peas. You could get pretty accurate with that. One word of advice - if there is whipped cream or cream pies, and you get hit, make sure that stuff doesn't stay on too long, or you'll start to sour. Ew. Not that I know this from experience or anything. Posted June 5, 2009, 4:57 pm

Kim says Sticky things can be a bonus but if it is too sticky, it might end up holding onto you when you try to toss it. Try to hold the item by the least sticky part before launching. Or use a utensil for launching. Mashed potatoes with gravy flicked out of a plastic spoon works really well. Posted June 5, 2009, 5:28 pm

ravenouscouple says sticking w/ the asian fruit thing....smear durian over your opponent and they'll smell like rotten eggs for weeks! Posted June 5, 2009, 6:19 pm
