Butterball Celebrating 30 years of saving 'Turkey Day Dinners'!
Well most of them! Butterball always says 'There are no
Stupid Questions'. But Archie has run across a few!
Archies Top 10 List of the Weirdest (Stupid)Â Questions
for Butterball...
1.) Can you pop popcorn in the Turkey's cavity while it's roasting?
                      This comes from the Turkey (Joke) recipe!(NO Is the answer)
2.) How do you carve a turkey with a chainsaw?
 3.)Can motor oil be used to baste the Turkey?
                       (you have to ask Please stop cooking) 4.)How do you get the metal out of your Turkey?
                                           (Don't use a steel scouring pad to scrub your Turkey)
5.) How do you get your dog out of the Turkey Cavity?
                             (This happened in '93 to lady in Kentucky when her Chihuahua divedÂ
                               in the cavity & got stuck! We are Thankful she knew that before
                               cooking the Turkey, or that would have made for a very Bad Turkey Dinner) 6.) Can you cook a turkey on a radiator? Or speed up the cooking with the cleaning option on the oven? It says Roast but my oven only says Bake & Broil, what do I do? (Again, if you have to ask go out to dinner. Stop Cooking!) 7.) Is it okay to thaw my Turkey in the bathtub the same time I'm washing the kids?
                        (Really?, I know scary)  Â
8.)Since it's been cooking for 24 hours, is the 5 lb Turkey Done?
                                           (Think Christmas Vacation Dinner scene... CLASSIC)
9.) Will the turkey expand in the oven?
                               (Kinda like Bread rising? Don't go near the oven?)
 10.) What is the best way to re-attached the drumsticks and thighs
                                         when they fall off?   (PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THE KITCHEN!!!)
