BAD IDEA, who garnered universal praise and literally no negative opinions last year, is not content to have simply perfected comics. Something even their haters, which they have none, agree they did.
Despite claiming to have launched their last comic – a baffling move they called ‘BAD IDEA is over’ – they have seemingly not stopped working, albeit in a non-comics related field. Today, BAD IDEA announced that, after “tremendous hard work and great sacrifice”, their “crack team of food science adjacent personnel working at BAD IDEA Labs” have perfected a staple of the American confectionary diet. BAD IDEA has created the ‘Perfect Donut’. And, in their words, “have attained a previously thought impossible taste to mass ratio. Twice the taste per bite of any previously known donut. It literally tastes like you’re eating two donuts at the same time.”
BAD IDEA further claims to have received stunning praise for its donut from globally renowned news outlets, food critics and celebrity chefs, among others, though they provide no proof and we can’t find any evidence that any of them have ever heard of BAD IDEA let alone reviewed their new donut. They also claim to have received the much sought after and venerated 3-star Michelle Lin certification despite it not actually working that way (restaurants receive the stars, not individual dishes). As such, we are providing the list of accolades below only after careful consultation with our legal team who plan to cite today’s date as a defense at the slightest hint of trouble.
“A triumph! Single handedly elevates the donut to the Mount Rushmore of the culinary arts. Are we still saying Mount Rushmore or is that…you know?”
– The New York Times
