DIY Maize Snack

The Do-It-Yourself Frozen Maize Corn Snack Food Kit (shortened to DIY Maize Snack) is a food product manufactured by Falgos Foods, introduced in 2004. It consists of a large cheese-flavoured maize food snack, a cheesy puff which is meant to be cooked in the oven from frozen.

== Controversy ==
Because of a fault in the concept, the product when cooked as intended always results in a shrunken, burnt mess, rather than a giant cheesy puff. People had theorised that microwaving the product would work, but it achieved the same effect. A third option was to have the product slowly defrost, though that results in a soggy, unsatisfying cheesy puff without a crunch. Cooking the product after defrosting resulted in a dangerously hot bubbly mush that's been described as, "causing immense damage" when eaten.
The "REAL CORN" flavour claimed to include pieces of actual corn within the cheesy puff, but has been proven to have none whatsoever. It has been heavily criticised for being the same product with different packaging, up until the company finally came out with the product, months later. People were disappointed once again.
Finally, the Green Cheese flavour was discovered to actually include mouldy cheese, which lead to a 42-year-old man's death. Mouldy cheese doesn't kill people usually, but it was speculated that the combination of the burnt mess or soggy dangerous mush and the mouldy cheese might have forced the man's body into a "suicide mode", causing rapid necrosis of the man's stomach until he died of multiple organ failure.
