CellhackA reader recently sent in a link to a video that demonstrates nacho cheese being used to hack a cell phone. The video offers step-by-step instructions on how to modify any cell phone to receive police transmissions.

We haven’t tested the procedure ourselves in our Nacho Cheese Test Lab, but we have a sneaking suspision that it would probably fail. Watch the video and see for yourself.

Some may have learned a bit about us from the Mercury News article, some may have heard our interview on KGO Radio, others may have even met us at the Alice @ 97.3 Cinco de Mayo Broadcast. Now you can learn a little more about the three guys who created ILoveNachoCheese.com.

So hop on over to our new About Us page and learn more… about… us… or something.

What Could Have Made Cinco de Mayo Better?

by

Nacho_trayIt’s been 10 days since Cindo de Mayo and I can’t help but reflect on that days events.  The day was filled with laughter, beer, friends, and of course, nachos.  But what could I have done better?  What could have enhanced my overall Cinco de Mayo experience?

The answer rests in the Heated Nacho Tray.  Gizmodo.com tempted me to with this powered nacho accessory, yet I still didn’t buy one. 

I must have had a momentary lapse of intelligence.  What could be better than having beer after beer, all the while knowing the my nacho cheese would be kept at a perfectly delicious temperature?

So check it out, the Heated Nacho Tray is a winner in my book and is a must-have accessory for every nacho lover.

Go Beyond the Cheese

by

SoapInterested in reading more than just about cheese? You don’t say! That’s funny, because I’m interested in writing about more than just cheese! Don’t get me wrong, I love nacho cheese. Honestly, I do. And I will continue to write about nacho cheese when I find a story. However, it’s getting harder and harder to find nacho cheese related stories. So… I’ve begun the next chapter in my blogging adventure (www.tonightwemakesoap.com). And this time I’m focusing on soap. Well…not exactly. What I’m planning to do is find all the fatty bits around the Internet and offer my unique commentary. So join me, because: Tonight We Make Soap!

From the Archives — Could Ice Cream with Nacho Cheese Taste Good?

by

nacho cheese ice cream

Recently a situation arose where I was put in a position to try nacho cheese with vanilla and chocolate ice cream.  Some of the friends I was with appeared disgusted at the thought of the mix and others were intrigued to watch me tempt my taste buds with two seemingly opposite flavors.

I used an inexpensive nacho cheese from a local Safeway grocery store.  Rather than pour hot nacho cheese all over my ice cream, instead I took a clean spoon and dipped it in the nacho cheese bowl.  Then I filled the rest of the spoon with a mix of chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

I ate it.

It did not taste good.  It could have been the worst thing I’ve tasted in a while.  This mix of nacho cheese with ice cream just does not work.  In fact, I drew a blank when I began thinking about other flavors of ice cream that might taste better with nacho cheese than the vanilla and chocolate did.

Wild Nacho Tamed

by

WildnachoShopping at my local supermarket, I came across a Doritos flavor I’d never seen before — Wild White Nacho. Already having an opinion on pre-packaged “nacho cheese flavored” chips, the correct choice would’ve been to walk away. Instead, I was compelled to try this wild new flavor and report my findings to the NCLC (Nacho Cheese Loving Community).

For starters, I think I liked these chips better when they were called “ranch.” And as for being “wild,” they were anything but. I was expecting a chip that would tickle my tastebuds with some zest, or have a little spicy kick and bite back. But alas, I was left with a relatively boring chip that didn’t have any sort of lasting impression.

Not Your Nacho Record Holder

by

Story suggestion by: Shara M. Email us a story.

WoolleyIf you recently searched for Sgt. Cam Woolley in Wikipedia, you may have been excited to learn that he presently holds the British Commonwealth title for most nachos eaten by a law enforcement officer. As a nacho lover, this would be an achievement worth praise. Unfortunately, Sgt. Woolley’s Wiki was the target of vandalism. In fact, when asked about this non-fact, Woolley replied, “I don’t even like nachos.”

Could’ve fooled me. No offense, but one look at Woolley would lead one to believe otherwise. Regardless of whether or not the good Sergeant (if he really IS a sergeant) is being truthful about his snacking habits, one must wonder: If he doesn’t hold that record, who does?

Ding! Your nachos are done

by

Story suggestion by: Dan S. Email us a story.

PatentInventors are cool. But inventors that invent nacho related inventions are cooler. An email recently hit our inbox with a list of various nacho patents. One particular patent, however, rose to the top as the most practical. Inventor, Kim Y. Edomwonyi, created packaging that enables microwavable nachos to be sold that will evenly distribute cheese sauce and prevent soggy chips. Genious! All we need now is to wait for someone to actually start manufacturing and using this breakthrough in nacho packaging.

Taco Bell’s New Zesty Nachos

by

Taco Bell has recently released a new item on their menu: Zesty Nachos. These nachos consist of chips, “zesty sauce with a kick and nacho cheese sauce”, seasoned beef, cool sour cream, and tomatoes. According to our standards, this is pushing the limit of too much.

Last night my brother took them for a whirl. So how did they measure up?

Nachos Now With 100% More Botulism!

by

Nachostogo_2We’d like to think we would try any nacho out there at least once for the sake of review. But after careful discussion, we decided against Mexican Express’ Nachos to Go product. Call us crazy, but we’re not really “down” with botulism. Simply put: Contaminated nachos just aren’t cool.

Last month the Nachos to Go product was linked to the botulism infection of a 26-year-old Melbourne man. The company immediately recalled the product with a best before date of April 19, and since then decided to withdraw all remaining batches from sale and stop production. Mexican Express managing director Ian Young defended his company by saying, “All of our systems are impeccable – we’ve done nothing wrong but that’s not the point. My kids actually ate this batch – that’s how good our records are.” He went on to express that his first priority was the health and welfare of consumers by stating, “We are putting the public first.”

Can Nacho Cheese Hold a Picture Frame? Test Lab #1

by

If you’re like us, you’ve spent countless nights laying awake thinking about if there are other applications nacho cheese is suitable for aside from consumption. It was that singular introspection that innitiated us to create a test lab specifically focused on answering these questions.

The Nacho Cheese Test Lab will be an ongoing feature that will report on our nacho cheese experiments. Needless to say, if you have an idea for a study you’d like us to conduct, write us. We do the tests so you don’t have to!

Our first test explores the question: Can nacho cheese be used to hold a picture frame?

As Heard on KGO-AM 810 Radio

by

KgologoYesterday, ABC owned KGO-AM 810 Radio invited us to their Downtown San Jose, California office to participate in a quick interview with reporter Rob Artigo. Excited, the three of us hopped into a car and drove over wondering what to expect.

When we arrived, Rob greeted us, brought us into his studio, and flipped open the mic. We chatted, laughed, and had a great time for about 20 minutes. A few hours later, our segment was broadcast over the San Francisco Bay Area airwaves for all to listen to. We couldn’t be any happier with the way it turned out!

We were able to obtain a copy of the clip for your listening pleasure.

Nachos. Faster.

by

PaypassWhat can be more American than fast food? When we crave calories and cholesterol, the last thing we want standing in our way is having to wait more than 30 seconds to get it. Fortunately for all of us attention deficit snackers our there, MasterCard and Taco Bell have…

Oh look! A birdy just landed on my windowsill. Aaaaand, there it goes.

What was I talking about again?

Oh yeah. MasterCard and Taco Bell have made the process of getting our nachos even faster! They’re currently testing the MasterCard PayPass Touch & Go payment solution at approximately 100 Taco Bell stores. This means that the next time you want to order enough nachos to get your daily allowance of Vitamin C, you’ll be able to shave precious seconds off your total wait time. Priceless!

Bottomless Nachos

by

AllyoucaneatNacho loving Dodger fans have reason to celebrate. Dodger Stadium has converted their right-field pavilion into “All-You-Can-Eat” seats. For $35 in advance or $40 on game day, fans will have access to as many hot dogs, peanuts, popcorn, soft drinks, and best of all NACHOS as they want.

But before you go out any buy a ticket to the next game hoping to stockpile some cheesy goodness into your napsack, be aware that there are limitations. The food booths open 90 minutes before games and close two hours after it begins. And if you try ordering 100 bowls of nachos you’ll be denied. But, “if a person goes up there and asks for four for his family, he won’t be told no,” said Camille Johnston, the Dodgers senior vice president of communications.

Hats off to the entire Dodger organization for providing such a great fan amenity. We salute you!

As Heard on Alice @ 97.3

by

NonameYesterday, we received an email from a reader tipping us off that the local morning DJs “Sarah & No Name” of Alice @ 97.3FM were talking about our site over the air. I called in and arranged a phone interview for this morning at 5:40am.

For the uninitiated, The Sarah & No Name program is the number one morning show in the San Francisco Bay Area. So to get an opportunity to speak with them was pretty exciting. And although I didn’t have my two nacho loving compadres at my side, the interview went well. Best of all, they invited us ALL to come in tomorrow morning at 7:50am to serve up our Official ILoveNachoCheese.com Recipe!

So tune in, or log onto their Live Stream tomorrow to listen. Hey…what the heck, try calling in to say “hi.” The number is: 1-800-400-3697. In the meantime, we’ve uploaded a clip of this morning’s interview for your listening pleasure.

Magic Bullet for Nanosecond Nachos

by

Can’t sleep? Find yourself watching television at 1 o’clock in the morning? Then you’ve probably seen the commercial for Magic Bullet. This product claims that it’s the “personal, versatile, countertop magician that does any job in 10 seconds…or less.®” Strong claim. But can this “magician” make nachos? As a matter of fact, it can! The Magic Bullet comes with a plethora of attachments and also includes the “10 Second Recipe Book.” One recipe is called Nanosecond Nachos.

Obviously this recipe is only good if you actually own the Magic Bullet. But if you were thinking about picking one up and was on the fence, perhaps knowing that there’s a quick-and-easy 10 second recipe included with purchase will tip the scale.

If you’re interested in checking out the recipe, read on…

Great Game, Better Nachos

by

UnamasI just got home from the last game of the regular season for the San Jose Sharks. And what a game it was! Trailing 2 to 3 against the visiting Canucks, Jonathan Cheechoo scored with only 30 seconds left in the third to force overtime. But before we get to the final outcome, lets reverse time to before the start of the game.

When I arrived, I made my way to the Una Mas! Mexican Grill located in the HP Pavilion. I ordered nachos, a large soda, and then headed to my seats in section 212 before digging into the box of chip and cheese goodness.
