Lucky you! I miss authentic Chinese food.
I never used to watch that show, then when I saw he was going to be stranded in the wilds of Alabama, I just had to watch. I hadn't realized that show was a comedy. Now I watch all the ones where he is lost in America. What a hoot.
Like Mr. Big or Oh Henry bars here. They look suspicious floating in a pool too.
A taste test is usually required to differentiate.
Oh Henry! People feel strongly about their Oh Henry bars

A week in Singapore was enough for me (toe nails/claws in my chicken soup, etc). I prefer westernised Asian cuisine.

Speaking of gelatin, probably my all time favourite is Big Turk:
but I sincerely miss the long defunct Bar Six from my (much) younger days. That and a can of Mountain Dew was my rocket fuel.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

The local "Squeeze" plant had a knockoff called "Green River" never could get what the flavor was supposed to be. They dyed it a bright green, a guilty pleasure along with the piece of wedding cake with the big blue flower.
Edit - I stand corrected it was a prohibition era institution in the Midwest, never knew that.

Uggh. I just consumed a bunch of ants. They’ve infiltrated my workbench and I didn’t notice that they were all over the mouth of my Coke can. 
Incidentally, I’ve had witchetty grub. Though just a slice, and cooked, not live like in that Bear Grylls 'giant larvae' video. Tastes just like hard boiled egg

That's OK, one channel of Chinese casual reality had some hikers holding wasps nests up and downing what fell out.
That's true. In the Alabama episode he killed a wild boar that looked exactly like a domestic pig. He ate a small piece of it cooked and commented on how fast wild pig would go off in this climate, so he left the rest behind. The next morning he was eating deer droppings. The funny part about this was there was ice on the bushes.
That's probably even stranger than Japanese wasp crackers.
A favourite treat of mine is Spotted Dog – a basic damper with raisins baked in a tin buried in the smouldering coals of a camp fire. I've heard that blowflies are a tasty “bush” substitute for the raisins, but never cared to try that one for myself.
