A celebration of the brave, drunken pioneers who built our civilization one seemingly bad decision at a time, A Brief History of Vice explores a side of the past that mainstream history books prefer to hide. History has never been more fun--or more intoxicating.

Guns, germs, and steel might have transformed us from hunter-gatherers into modern man, but booze, sex, trash talk, and tripping built our civilization. Cracked editor Robert Evans brings his signature dogged research and lively insight to uncover the many and magnificent ways vice has influenced history, from the prostitute-turned-empress who scored a major victory for women's rights to the beer that helped create--and destroy--South America's first empire. And Evans goes deeper than simply writing about ancient debauchery; he recreates some of history's most enjoyable (and most painful) vices and includes guides so you can follow along at home.

You'll learn how to:

- Trip like a Greek philosopher.
- Rave like your Stone Age ancestors.
- Get drunk like a Sumerian.
- Smoke a nose pipe like a pre-Columbian Native American.

"Mixing science, humor, and grossly irresponsible self-experimentation, Evans paints a vivid picture of how bad habits built the world we know and love."--David Wong, author of John Dies at the End

Great as a ‘pantry’ item for making a meal without previous planning.
Flavor Name: Variety Pack
Because of limited mobility, I never know who will do my grocery shopping and meal preparation. In other words, I can only count on having vegetables half of the time. I love adding this as a side dish or mixing it in with an entree. They work well cold or thrown into a hot dish. My favorites are the ‘riced’ cauliflower & the artichoke. I love the taste of the asperagus but found my body produced an even stronger aroma (if you know what I mean about asperagus eating) in this, possibly, more intense format. Very Satisfying all around. Great substitue for something more starchy.

Crisp but with sour taste from lactic acid.
Flavor Name: Variety Pack
Thought it might be nice to have pantry stable veggies. However, they have a noticeable sourness due to the lactic acid used as preservative. This is probably necessary to avoid heating/cooking as is done with canned vegetables. They are much crispier than canned vegetables. The sourness might be fine in some dishes or to some tastes.
