I'm not sure how far Chip or anyone has discussed the Gethjerk files in the game, but I saw some and they're kinda messed up.

Mainly the Dough-Goo, which are apparently soldiers that are suspended in a fluid that totally liquefies them but preserves their consciousness and neural pathways. Dough-Goos are essentially sentient goo in power armor. Chew Dough-Goos are two milkshakes piloting one mech!

Knowing the meanings of Guyzoch and Rhullo and such make Red's intros for Vorkken amusingly redundant though, so there's that.

My favourite detail is that Vorkken's surname Ohgee is a pun on Ouji which means prince. Which means he basically says "My people call me Prince Vorkken, but I will allow you to call me Prince Vorkken."

Every puzzle has an answer.
Ohgee also happens to be the sound Wonder-Pink makes when she sees him.

Some more trivia: If you die to Vorkken with Pink as the leader, you get a unique sound clip.

I tried them once, because I was at a low point and I figured, what the hell, I'll try anything once and it can't possibly kill me.

I won't say it's the worst thing I've ever eaten, but it's drat sure everything it looks like. I can say without fear of contradiction that you could get exactly the same culinary experience for cheaper by microwaving a jar of Cheez Whiz until it just barely melts, pouring it into a bag of Doritos, and leaving it to sit for an hour while it drains to the bottom and cools off.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
I'd like to propose that Doritos Loaded get added to the pantheon of stereotypical goon food, alongside Cheetos and Mountain Dew.

I do not understand the mind of the person who thought that Doritos Loaded was a good idea. I especially do not understand the mind of the person who eats them (that person must exist or the product would never have made it past testing, which is the most frightening part.)

Tomorrow, doom!
But now, tea.
Imagine being one of the poor product testers!

A big manufacturer like Doritos would have done extensive focus group testing before the launch, too. So quite a lot of people have to have eaten the things and given them good marks.

The Geathjerk files cover a lot of minor but really cool details, such as where the source species for some of the mecha kaiju come from, the personal behaviours and history of particular enemies, the sheer power (in that absurd, hyperbolic tokusatsu fashion) that some of them possess, but also why the Geathjerk attacks only come once every twenty years, and the history of the other Earth Defense Wars.

No, it's a double-chicken sandwich with no bun.

The theory is sound, I tell you!

...kinda misses the point of a low gluten substitute if you replace the buns with even more fried breading, though.

So a healthier version would used baked chicken instead of fried?

And now I'm seriously wondering how you could make something like this "healthy".

By putting the two pieces of chicken on a plate, instead of pretending they're pieces of bread on a sandwich.
