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

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

Heh, that's true. I suppose a lot of the alien objects in the archives are really ordinary, non-powerful, not harmful things. Like the equivalent of a toothbrush or a potato peeler. We only hear about the "sexy" ones that are dangerous. It's too bad!

Oh, and Quavers (while they have ingredients that are processed like Pringles ingredients) look like they're... extruded or puffed in a similar way to Fungyuns. Do you have those? (I hate them, they're very smelly, but some people love them.) I wonder if Fungyuns are sort of onion-flavored Quavers.

ETA: I now see that Funyuns, which I misspelled above, are made of a cornmeal paste instead of a potato paste. But I bet it's a similar process!

I think I know those. Yeah, they seem like something that is an acquired taste

I love that theory! Reminds me of the hair-drier in the bin full of alien guns in Dalek.

Hee, I'd forgotten about that hair dryer! And the musical instrument.

I bet Jack has one of those stashed away. He plays it when all the others have gone home.

Until one time when he *thinks* Ianto has gone home, and he's discovered and has to teach Ianto to use it.
