Summary:  Sometimes doing something you were dared to does not go well, as Jack finds out.
Author's Note: Written for unfeathered 

Owen stared at Jack. “I dare you to eat it.”

“You dare him? What are you, twelve? Gwen, come here and talk some sense into these two!”

“Leave her out of this,” Owen hissed, watching Jack poke at what was in front of him. “This is between me and Jack. He’s the one who swore he’d eat anything.”

“But Owen, it came through the rift!”

“I scanned it! It’s clean.”

“But...” Tosh’s protests were drowned out by a wrapper crinkling.

After a moment’s chewing Jack smiled. “Prawn cocktail flavored rift Quavers. Yummmm”

“If they’re so good you should swallow.”

“No.”

Hee! Very cute. I can just see Jack talking with his mouth full and a pained expression on his face.

(I don't know what Quavers are, but they sure have loud wrappers!)

they are apparently similar to pringles, some sort of potato chip-like product that come in bizarre flavors. Quavers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quavers) I wanted to use something that would be available in the UK. Originally I thought of twinkies, but I'm not sure they are over there

Interesting! Mmm, snacks. I didn't mean to imply that it was a weakness in the fic, though. It works fine whether or not you know what Quavers are. They could be some snack food from the 51st Century, it would be fine!

It's still making me smile. :)

I just like the idea of something stupid and random falling through. Why is it always weird aliens and whatnot? Why not something simple?

glad you liked it

They're not like Pringles at all, really. Quavers are light, curly crisps. VERY nice, much yummier than Pringles! Piccie! (http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/food/quavers440.jpg)

Nope, never heard of twinkies *googles*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I was going with how wiki described them, but no those look nothing like pringles

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

I LOVE prawn cocktail Quavers. They're so hard to find, though.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

are they good? They just sound so weird

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

Very good. The normal cheese ones are nice, but I'm generally very happy when I find the flavoured ones.
(My mum ate heaps of quavers when she was pregnant with me... I'm sort of hooked on them.)

I'd rather just have chinese prawn crackers. And Pickled onion Monster Munch beat any sort of quavers hands down. Especially the Halloween ones that turn your tongue blue.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I have to admit, none of that sounds appetizing to me

lolol

Glad you liked it! :)

*GG* Yeah, that rift has to spit out odd little things, too. I would think. Maybe we could send some twinkies through the other direction... deep fried.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I've never actually had a deep fried twinkie. They sell them at the state fair here.

Quavers are yummy! How very British of you :D
I was really worried it was going to be some kind of alien sludge or something...

(I have posted teddy arts...)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I wiki-ed to find an appropriate treat.

Off to go see! (what the heck are you doing up now?)

[itsarift-thing.livejournal.com]

I... Have NO idea - I am not tired just hungry but I think I really ought to try and maybe go to bed perhaps???

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

want to read horrible pwp first?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Just the name makes me shudder. Ah, Jack.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

That's why I chose them. Just... blargh

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I can totally see him standing there, trying his best not to swallow.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I know people like them and whatnot, but, I just can't imagine what they taste like and have no real desire to find out

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha. Rift Quavers. You always make me smile.

Glad you liked it! :)
