There are so many weird food products for sale that it’s hard for anything to shock us too much. Hot dog candy cornOpens in a new tab? Sure we’ll try it. Ranch egg nogOpens in a new tab? Yeah, fine, let’s have a holiday toast. And the latest bizarre concoction, clam-flavored mayonnaise? Heck, Hellman’s already did thatOpens in a new tab! However, there is one thing about the all-new Clam-O-NaiseOpens in a new tab that caught us off guard: who makes it. Because this seafood spread comes from Cards Against Humanity, and every Clam-O-Naise jar includes a deck of cards for the game inside the mayo.
Cards Against Humanity‘s new Clam-O-Naise (which we first heard about Boing BoingOpens in a new tab) is a “tangy, smoky, garlicky flavor, with just a hint of real clams.” Uh…yum? (At the very least it sounds a lot better than clam candy canesOpens in a new tab. Plus the company developed it with real chefs and food scientists and swears it tastes good.) The unusual condiment costs $9.99 for 20-ounce jar at Target. And it even comes with its own line of merchandise. At the Clam-O-Naise online store you can grab clam-adorned shirts, hats, bumper sticker, mugs, pajamas, and even a copy of Moby Dick altered to be entirely about clams and mayo.
But if you want 30 all-new cards for your copy of Cards Against Humanity you’ll need to dig into your Clam-O-Naise. Inside each jar (honestly) is a deck for the popular party game. That’s not all, though. Alongside the cards you’ll also find a Mystery Clam-O-Prize. Get a special jar and you can win “real pearls, Clam-O-Merch, or even a car!”
I don’t care how delicious or gross Clam-O-Naise might be. I don’t even care how weird it will be pulling a deck of playing cards out of a jar of mayo. If I win a car because I bought a strange condiment from Cards Against Humanity it will be the greatest meal of my life. And there’s nothing strange about that.
