As we mentioned during last week’s impromptu giveaway, we are celebrating the Blu-ray/DVD release of Sony’s Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs — one of our faves here at DTW — by offering our readers a chance to win the Oscar-nominated film. The winner will receive the 2-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo version.
Special Features:
Within the next few days, prior to its release, we will have our review of the special features. So keep an eye out for that.
As for the contest? We’re instigating a food fight!

There will be 3 different methods of participation:
Those are the battlefields. You can choose whichever method you wish, but the winner will be awarded based on factors such as the amount of food thrown (number of comments), the types of food being splattered about (be creative) and in some cases, the target throughout the duration of the contest. So you would definitely benefit from commenting as often as you’d like from any or all options numbered above.
The competition is only open to U.S. residents and will run through to 1:00 PM EST on January 5. The winner will be announced and contacted immediately with the disc shipping out that same day. So remember to provide a valid email address when commenting so we can get your shipping information.
That’s it for now. Enough chit-chat! FOOD FIGHT!
*Congratulations to commenter ‘brenda’ who won last week’s Surf’s Up DVD contest. We hope you and your family enjoyed it.
Right now, brenda is covered in brussel sprouts! Let’s throw some glazed donuts(with some paprika of course), red chilis, and a LOT of sour cream!
Oooh! It is officially underway. Elisha wastes no time retaliating with a smorgasbord of grossness!
Mark Williams Jr. just got hit with a fresh plate of escargo, dipped in citrus acid and drizzled with pure High Frutose Corn Syrup!
Cheryl sitting in the back, jumps to her feet flipping a table on it’s side for protection (didn’t see that one coming did ya?) She loads a McGyvered slingshot full of Corned Beef and Cabbage and fires. OOOOO! Ian gets taken down by a chunk of beef to the forehead. Cheryl, reloads her sling with a Pastrami on Rye with Mustard and a pickle on top, and she fires. Whoa! Brenda and Elisha, get slammed (looks like a 2fer1 hit, folks. Oh wait, looks like Mark Williams Jr got the toothpick with the pickle stuck right between his two front teeth. Cheryl starts to build a makeshift catapult and gathers more ammo for the next round.
If nothing else, I will certainly gain about 20 pounds during this competition. I seem to be munching on something every time I read through the comments. Ugh.
Seems as though Ian and Cheryl — besides picking on me — have also ramped up the mayhem, as their grub grudge has spilled out onto to twitter and facebook.
Thanks to the FLDSMDFR, Cherly got hit by a storm of food including meatballs, candy canes, buffalo wings, and also steamed artichoke! Then launched a geyser of Pepto Bismol at Hank Williams Jr!
Yeah and by Hank Williams Jr, I really meant Mark Williams Jr. Sorry! I think Hank is a country singer or something…
BWAHAHAHA! The only thing I know ’bout Hank Williams, Jr. is the annoying Monday Night Football song.
Brenda jumped on her trampoline to catapult beef stew atop Cheryl’s head, totally avoiding the turned over table shield. The splatter also hit Ian, oozing 2 heads with 1 throw. On her second jump she avoided all retaliation while her sidekick, Gallagher, splattered Elisha & Mark with his Sledge-O-Matic, a buffet of splattered watermelon, spaghettios, cottage cheese and the like.
Suddenly there was a huge shadow that was cast among everyone. When they looked up there was a blimp (with Ian in it) which sent down various items such as McDonalds grease, ratatouille, baked ziti, and also peas down to the floor below. Peas on earth!
Cheryl has locked and loaded her ooze guns with Italian Wedding soup. She sprays the room totally drenching everyone. She then does a tuck and roll under Brenda’s trampoline and comes up the other side pummeling Brenda with chocolate eclairs. Next she picks up a handful of the peas that Ian dropped and with her trusty pea shooting straw she sends up pea bullets popping Ian’s blimp sending him straight into a vat of super sticky cotton candy. Mark Williams Jr. thinks he is well hidden taken notes for commentary, but oh no, Cheryl sees him and she stomps on a tube of anchovy paste covering him. Cheryl darts for cover.
Mmmm…Italian Wedding soup.
OH NO CHERYL DI-INT!
throws cabbagae soup at cheryl.
YAHHH!
And mark… HOT CHOOCOOOOLATE!!!!
As Ian fell into the vat of cotton candy he pulled out his water gun and squirted all of the cotton until it dissolved into sugar and revealed pillows on the floor of which he landed safely on top of.
As his next move he made a quick prayer and suddenly manna fell from the sky and hit everyone in the food fight. Nobody could escape because you can’t hide from God.
Ian also threw some dog food at John DiBiase because we can’t all just pick on Mark Williams Jr. lol!
Thanks bro! John deserves endless amounts of food to be heaped upon him.
Oh wow, Ian, manna? That was genius, how am I suppose to counter that. Everyone knows that if God is for you, who could be against you. That was the check mate comment, but let me think on it tonight and see what I can come up with. LOL
Oh and Elisha, sorry but I am now impervious to your cabbage suit because I done gone and sewed me a suit made out of recycled Walmart sacks, so it just slid right off to the floor leaving me untouched and as beautiful as ever.
:O NOT FAIR!
Throws carrot cake(topped in gravy) at Ian, buys PUBLIX recycable bags, sews them on, and throws his Chicken A LA MODE in Cheryl’s hair.
Pomegranate coming at you Brenda!
Squirts grapefruit juice in Cheryl’s eyes.
YAHOO!
Ian then hires the most friendliest thing that came to mind……that just so happened to be the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man!
Also threw bob the tomato at Elisha and larry the pickle, uh I mean Larry the cucumber at Brenda.
VEGGAY TALES >:O
How devious Ian!
Throws chocolate crickets, fried tarantula legs, and crispy chicken dipped in marshmallow fluff at Ian
DONT HURT JOHN DiBIASE!
Jesusfreakhideout ROX MY SOX OFF!!
throws evil twinkies at ian
While Cheryl isn’t looking…
LIVER COATED OCTOPUS LEGS, LIMA BEANS STUFFED WITH PEANUT BUTTER, AND CORN CHIPS IN SOME CHIPOTLE SAUCE! WOO!
Now let’s not forget Brenda ![]()
Grabs some Chocolate mints, Lobsters, and potato soup…
THROOOOWS!
Awww! No ones coming?
Did I scare them away with my…
GRAVY GUN!!
-shoots at Ian and Mark-
Now for my Frooty Smoothy!!!
Puts in blender, and takes lid off.
Sorry Brenda and Cheryl ![]()
Now. Who wants celery flavored gumballs for desert!!!
Ian is SO going down with my Potato Salad…
Cheryl gathers up the precious manna and gives thanks to God. Then she whips out her cherry flavored licorice rope and lassos the chandelier. She swings to the right and dumps Limburger cheese all over the front of Elisha. She then swings to the left and torpedoes some pinto beans, fried taters and cornbread at Ian. She then heads for the barbecue pit. She snatches a few sides of beef ribs, pulled pork and brisket from the smoker and tosses them, frisbee style at Mark & John. Yee Haw, yall.
Reading these comments USED to make me hungry, uh…not so much anymore. You guys are disgusting! (but I love it).
Goodness Cheryl! Calm down.
Maybe my BEEFY 5 LAYER BURRITO FROM TACO BELL will calm ya down ![]()
throws at feet
Yay for evil Twinkies! (they are my minions now). Twinkie #1 threw a BLT( bacon llama turnip) sandwich at Elisha while Twinkie #2 launched coconuts at Cheryl…..oh by the way the monkeys are not too happy about me taking the coconut so you may want to run.
With another small prayer, God fufilled Ian’s request and the land started flowing with milk and honey, very sticky!
Ian also threw a chill pill at Cheryl for Elisha.
Cheryl rides the wave of milk and honey with her swift and sleek surf board. She tucks into a giant barrel (surfing term) and comes out the other side spraying octopus foam whipped cream at Ian as she passes by. Then she cuts back around to stuff some jalapeno jelly filled eggs into Brenda’s mouth. Then she doubles back around to douse both Ian and Brenda with buckets of fish chum, from Plankton’s Chum Bucket.
This is getting INTENSE!
Grabs my grapes, and squashes them, and pours juice on Cheryl’s head, Grabs My coffee(venti), and loads it into gravy gun…
“Dodge this Ian.”
As Ian slowly falls backwards into his own pit of honey and milk…
That coffee was actually iced and decaf so it didn’t really bother that much. Evil twinkie #3 saved Ian from falling with some nice soft(and fake) wonder bread. Ian then threw angry gummy bears at Elisha and gummy worms at Brenda. A mixture of deviled eggs and angel food cake were then fired out of a blender and towards Cheryl and also oprah winfey who happened to be passing by…
Also fired a bazooka, which ironically had bazooka bubble gum in it, at Elisha
STEVE! EAT THOSE GUMMY BEARS UP!
And fyi… I LIKE BAZOOKA BUBBLEGUM!
grabs crackers with caviar, and forces Ian to eat it.
And no Cheryl… I haven’t forgotten about you!
throws into vat filled with marshmallows, and pours the honey.
Nice knowing you Cheryl
Just want to throw this out there. It may or may not help your chances of winning, BUT there is a certain someone — who happens to be the main character of the film — on twitter who probably deserves furious fistfuls of food lobbed in his direction.
Ian then threw a tub full of molasses (don’t ask how) at flint lockwood as he knocked Elisha with him as they fell into the milk.
Method number 2 listed in the write-up. *cough cough*
I forgot to post it there too, Thanks!
Cheryl takes a swim in the nice marshmallow spa, she whips out her laptop and proceeds to TWITTER her food fight toward Ian and Flint Lockwood. As for Brenda, oops, that trap you just stepped in triggered an explosions of cheese wiz and green olives. And no, there was no way to escape it, it got you good girl! ~enter evil laugh here~
Well I got…
Sushi.
IN A CAN!
Squirts out at Cheryl and Ian…
This battle has only JUST begun…
and grabs his gravy gun(WOOT!) and fills it up with grape juice… SPLAT!
Sorry Cheryl!… well not really
Aww.
Did everyone run away? ![]()
Well I’m SUUUURE Mark’s here right?

Ian then decided to bring out his secret weapon which just so happened to be the world’s most beloved food item……the cannoli! Brenda, Elisha, Cheryl, and Flint Lockwood were all blinded by the awesome power and glory of the cannoli. They were so much in awe that they all walked right into a giant jello castle.
Ian also pounded Elisha with snowcaps candy and also threw a samurai sword (yes the samurai sword is in fact a food item. Ace of Cakes just made it for me to throw at Elisha).
That’s okay, Ian, I will SEE your cannoli and raise you a big FAT 72 ounce grilled steak, delivered straight from Amarillo Texas via Man vs. Food. Oh that steak went right to your thighs, my dear.

Ian rushed to the scene again and threw some runts towards brenda, nerds towards elisha, and a wonka bar towards Cheryl. They were all then tied up along with flint with nerds rope to finish the job.
As a comedic move, Ian chucked skittles and combos at Matthew Thiessen of relient k! If you don’t get it, look it up on google.
[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ’0 which is not a hashcash value.
As my next move I threw a wonka bar at Elisha, a cup of noodles at brenda and a flapjack at Cheryl. They were also all tied up with Flint due to my nerds rope.

Cheryl fights Bob and Jillian off with some leftover fried chicken skin and steak fat. Take that, now drop and give me 300 and I don’t want to see any crying you big babies (I actually LOVE Bob and Jillian). Cheryl has taken care of the outsiders and turns her attention back to the inner core. She digs out her T-Ball stand and loads deep fried tacos, loaded with all the fixins, and begins to peg Ian, Brenda, Elisha, Mark and John with them. Wow, what an arm on the pretty lil gal. Next she reaches into her futuristic bag and pulls out lil Avatar character kabobs. She roast some up and darts them at the group. Oh Elisha, blue is truly your color. Next she adorns herself in her Gee, in honor of the new Karate Kid movie, and has her sidekicks Woody, Buzzyear, Mr. Potato Head and Jessie throw black berry tarts into the air as she round houses them at Ian, Mark and John. Shes off folks to tweet the massive damage she has done.
hahaha! i like how we are all using Christian music and movie references with our food.
With the new Alice in Wonderland film coming out Ian stewed up some white rabbit and put it in the mad hatter’s hat. From there he borrowed some assistance from toothless the dragon(How To Train Your Dragon) to cook the rabbit stew. Tony Stark(Ironman) also help fund the stew by donating green Ogre meat. This was all poured into bowls and thrown at Cheryl, Flint, John, and Brenda.
Apple fries(from Legoland) were made up and tossed at Elisha.
Edward,Jacob, and the Jonas Brothers then showed up randomly. That should keep any girls distracted for a while. If any guys try and get me, beware! I have Dwayne Johnson on my side.
Off to save the day on Twitter/facebook!
Wait! I meant Buzz Lightyear. Oy! One of my favorite movies and I messed up Buzz’s name.
Cheryl, Cheryl, where thou art Cheryl? Why she is busy whipping up some swamp gumbo, in memory of Tiana and Naveen that Ian cooked. She fills her ladles and fires them at Ian. Cheryl receives help from her blind side friends Sandra Bullock and Quinton Aaron. Sandra has filled footballs with pimento cheese and Quinton is punting them at Elisha.
Barlowgirls! Get me 2 volcanoes!
turns volcanos on their sides, and shoots at Ian and Cheryl.

Takes the secret ingredient from Iron Chef America and pelts them at Ian.
Butters some toast, and throws it at Brenda.
I take the chipmunks and chipettes come and scream as loud as they can until you are all discombobulated. At that point Sherlock Holmes comes over and finishes Brenda off with a smacking of crescent rolls.
Hiccup and dragon return to Ian’s side and gets a little help from his friends in narnia. They all threw couscous salad, which is very hard to throw, at Elisha.
Tron came back after years of no movies and brought a lightcycle…..oops he actually grabbed a Popsicle. He threw it at Cheryl.
Precious, I apologize, but your comments were flagged by our secret super cyber-snoop spam filter. So I did not see them until now. They have been approved and accounted for. Sorry for the inconvenience. Now throw some more food…you only have about an hour!
Same with you, Ian. Some of your comments were caught by our spam filter as well. But I almost disqualified you anyway after your Jonas Brothers reference.
But seriously, rest assured that all comments have been accounted for and we will look into having a “sit-down” with our secret super cyber-snoop spam filter.
1 more hour to go! The winner will be announced in a separate post.
hahaha just kidding about Jonas Bros,im not a fan of them.
I think all of the comments of mine that were flagged were sent via iTouch so maybe that has something to with it.
BAD IAN!
We do not speak of the… “not to be named” brothers.
But… MILEY! Grab some pizza rolls and throw them at Ian!
