Sup Ninjas, you know we had to do it. Vanilla Ice is a dump like no other. Truly a one hit wonder with his smash hit “Ice Ice Baby,” a song that launch rap music to global ubiquity. The rapper found harsh criticism as quickly as he found mega stardom. Part 1 traces the roots of the 90s rap sensation as he makes his way to super stardom.

Dominos revolutionized the pizza delivery game with their promise, “Pizza delivered in 30 minutes or less or your meal is free.” Unfortunately this led to some deranged attempts to either exploit the rule for some free ‘za. We also discuss the Noid, a Dominos mascot famously attached to the 30 minutes or less campaign.

While her name might not ring a bell to the current generation, in 1987 “Baby Jessica” was known throughout the world. The then 18-month-old Baby Jessica fell into and became stuck inside of a well. What followed was one of the most captivating live television events of all time.

Sinéad O’Connor is one of the most 90s dumps we have ever covered. Between her massive number 1 hit “Nothing Compares 2 U” and her infamous “pope gate” scandal on SNL, Sinéad has always been a polarizing figure. While to some Sinéad remains firmly in a 90s time capsule. Her life has been marked by more than a fair share of tragedy. However, she has continued to have a music career beloved by many devoted fans.

This week on Culture Dumps we cover what is definitely our most modern dump. In 2019 Popeye’s released their now infamous sandwich. The sandwich itself was really nothing to write home about, but try telling that to the thousands of people who waited in line, got in fights with staff, and raved about it online. The Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich is definitely the world’s most dangerous sandwich. 

Ryan sits down with acclaimed documentary director, producer, and podcaster Celia Aniskovich to discuss her latest film “Call Me Miss Cleo.” Besides her latest film, they discuss beanie babies, Woodstock 99, and more! 

This week Ryan is joined by Bret Berg of the Museum of Home Video to discuss the unfortunate life and legacy of Anita Bryant. Bryant made a name for herself as a wholesome pageant gal turned singer and eventually orange juice spokeswoman, however, that would all be stripped away from her after she decided to turn heel and attempt to stop the gay civil rights movement. Anita Bryant could very well be the first cancelled celebrity as we know them today.
