**The Cat Food Big-Mac**, also commonly called the **Cat Food Burger**, is an infamous [[activities:Cooking|food hack]] and troll-response incident in which [[characters:KingCobraJFS]] ate canned cat food on livestream after [[characters:The Trolls|trolls]] sent it to his apartment through DoorDash. The original stream was deleted, but a preserved upload titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XpAWKNHACY|Cat Food Burger - Deleted Live Stream]] remains available.
The incident is a textbook example of Cobra attempting to defeat trolling through reverse psychology. A normal person receiving cat food through DoorDash would throw it away, ignore it, or call the delivery service. Josh, being Josh, chose a fourth option: consume the bait on camera and declare victory over the trolls. In doing so, he created one of the most infamous meals in Boglim history.
The page title uses the community name **The Cat Food Big-Mac**, although the best-known surviving upload is titled **Cat Food Burger**. A separate YouTube result titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBFmpoGQ1l0|Cat Food Big Mac]] has circulated, but as of this writing that upload appears unavailable.
===== Background =====
By the Conquistador Age, trolls had long since discovered that DoorDash and similar delivery services could be used as weapons against Cobra. The [[characters:The Trolls#DoorDashers|DoorDashers]] section of the troll article lists several categories of unwanted deliveries sent to Josh, including dog and cat food, alcohol, strange groceries, inedible orders, sauce packets, ice, baby supplies, and other material designed to irritate or embarrass him.
The cat food delivery was one of the more successful examples of this tactic, not because it made Josh rage in the expected way, but because it pushed him into doing something much more memorable. According to Josh's later explanation, the trolls sent him cat food through DoorDash and deliberately included instructions telling the driver to ignore the sign on his door. Josh interpreted this as proof that the sign was working, since the trolls were specifically trying to get around it.
In a follow-up video titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH8XtPUY7FE|I'm Sorry]], Josh explained the event himself:
//"My YouTube trolls last night sent me some cat food through DoorDash..."//\\
//"Rather than let the cat food get to me, I ate a can of it on camera..."//
This was not merely a gross-out stunt in Josh's mind. To him, eating the cat food was a way to prove that the trolls could not control his emotions. Unfortunately, by eating the cat food, he gave them something far more valuable than a meltdown: permanent content.
===== Timeline of events =====
==== The DoorDash delivery ====
During the deleted livestream, trolls sent cat food to Josh's apartment through DoorDash. Based on Josh's later explanation, the delivery was intended to provoke him into a freakout. The DoorDash instructions allegedly told the driver to ignore Josh's door sign, adding another layer to the prank.
Josh recognized the intent behind the delivery. Instead of rejecting it, he reframed the situation as a chance to defeat the trolls at their own game. This is where the incident moves from ordinary DoorDash trolling into true Cobraverse absurdity.
==== Cobra chooses reverse psychology ====
Rather than get angry about the cat food itself, Josh decided to eat it on camera. In the surviving reupload, Josh prepares what the community refers to as the **Cat Food Burger**. During the preparation, he also falls into one of his regular anti-sicko loops, at one point declaring:
//"Ending sickos is more important than my dry spell."// [[https://youtu.be/6XpAWKNHACY?t=319|Source]]
The line is especially memorable because it is delivered in the middle of an event where Josh is literally preparing to eat cat food to spite internet trolls. As often happens in Cobra videos, a simple premise quickly mutates into food, gender relations, sickos, trolls, dry spell commentary, and whatever else happens to be rattling around in the Boglim skull at that exact moment.
==== The meal ====
The meal was a simple food hack, but a memorable one. McDonald's buns and a can of cat food. What more is there to say?
Josh ate canned cat food on camera and did so with enough commitment that later videos and shoutouts explicitly referenced it. In the [[activities:Cooking|Cooking with Cobra / Food Hacks]] page, the meal is described as follows:
//"What do you do when trolls send you cat food? End sickos by wolfing it down, of course!"//
The same blurb notes that Josh appeared to enjoy it, or at least ate it without the level of hesitation a normal human being would show. This cemented the event as one of the more grotesque food moments in his catalogue.
==== The cap gun and police call ====
The cat food itself was not the only event of the night. According to Josh's follow-up video, when the cat food bit failed to make him react the way the trolls wanted, they called the police and claimed he was waving a gun around.
Josh later insisted that the object was not a real firearm but a cap gun. He stated that he said multiple times on stream that the gun was not real and not loaded, and that he had only been trying to fix it because it was falling apart.
This detail is important because it shows how quickly a dumb DoorDash prank escalated into a potential police incident. In typical Cobra fashion, the stream apparently moved from cat food consumption to realistic-looking toy gun handling to police involvement, all in one night.
===== Follow-up videos =====
==== "I'm Sorry" ====
The clearest post-incident explanation comes from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH8XtPUY7FE|I'm Sorry]]. In that video, Josh apologizes for losing his temper and explains that what really upset him was the police being called again. He describes the cat food delivery, says he ate a can on camera rather than let it get to him, and complains that the trolls tried to escalate when the cat food prank did not work.
This video is one of the strongest sources for the incident because it contains Josh's own summary of what happened immediately after the stream.
==== "Add Bacon" ====
In the later video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cURavqR7OE|Add Bacon]], Josh again references the cat food incident while making a McDonald's McFlurry food hack with bacon bits. He says the trolls tried to piss him off by sending cat food, that he "owned" them by eating it on camera, and that they then called the cops on him for supposedly waving a gun around.
While the video is technically about adding bacon to a peanut butter crunch McFlurry, it functions as another confirmation of the cat food incident and its immediate aftermath. It also contains the excellent comparison point:
//"That tastes better than the cat food, that's for sure."//
==== Donation shoutouts ====
In the later [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84qWhsRhiYI|cashapp shoutouts]] video, one donor explicitly references the stream by saying that eating cat food on stream was crazy. Josh acknowledges the comment with his usual "that's what's up" energy, further confirming that the event had already become a known talking point among viewers.
===== Analysis =====
The Cat Food Big-Mac is notable because it represents a rare case where Cobra understood the troll setup but still managed to lose by "winning." His logic was simple: if trolls sent him cat food to make him mad, then eating it willingly would deny them the emotional reaction they wanted. In a very narrow sense, this almost works. He does not merely scream and throw it away. He takes control of the premise.
Unfortunately for Josh, the broader result was far worse. By eating cat food on camera, he gave the trolls a clip that could be saved, reuploaded, quoted, and folded into the permanent Cobraverse record. What he saw as a victory became one of the definitive examples of his willingness to debase himself for the camera if he believed it would own the trolls.
The event also fits neatly into Josh's wider food-hack history. Like the [[incidents:The Snail Burrito]], [[activities:Cooking#cat_food_burger|Cat Food Burger]], and various other Cobra food crimes, the humor comes from the collision between Josh's confidence and the objectively horrifying thing happening on screen. He treats the stunt like an act of defiance, while the audience sees a grown man eating cat food because strangers on the internet delivered it to him.
===== Legacy =====
The Cat Food Big-Mac remains one of Cobra's most infamous troll-induced meals. It is often grouped with the worst of his food hacks and is listed on the Cooking with Cobra page as one of the notable meals. The available reupload, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XpAWKNHACY|Cat Food Burger - Deleted Live Stream]], has become the main preserved source for the incident.
The incident also stands as a warning about DoorDash trolling. The first layer of the prank was merely gross. The second layer, involving police being called over a realistic-looking cap gun, showed how quickly the Cobraverse could escalate from stupid harassment to a potentially dangerous situation.
As with so many Cobra moments, the lesson is unclear, the logic is backwards, and the footage is unforgettable. Josh believed he had owned the trolls by eating the cat food. The trolls, naturally, saved the video. Deliciously ironic.
