Another from the wtf files...  
I was surfing for a Sock It To Me Cake recipe for Christmas (nostalgia - grandma used to make it for me because I loved it so much as a wee tyke) and I discovered a page of "Southern" desserts made with cake mixes. Scrolling the list, I saw this:

Kitty Litter Cake

Yup, it even has tootsie rolls for that authentically used look for your meal's piece d'resistance. All it's missing is an open dish of ammonia in the next room. Haven't decided if this is the sort of thing that arises from too much mint julep, if it's what you use to make certain the mother-in-law never again visits, or if it's all a conspiracy to make Southerners look stupid.

For the record, I was raised by Southern belle types on the fringe of the South and have never seen anything like this travesty. I'd complain about the recipe not having a picture but I guess you've seen one loaded tray of kitty litter you've seen them all.

I told a friend on IM about this (I believe in sharing the pain) and she has seen it, too! Not in the South but in Ohio so thankfully this travesty cannot be foisted off on us. Heaven knows the South has plenty answer for, but not this one.
