Greetings readers. As some of you may know, in addition to being a food lover and writer, I am also a humorist with experience in sketch and improv comedy. For the last 3 years I’ve worked part-time as a stand-up comedian. After working the DC Improv last April, opening 6 shows for Guy Torry, [...]

This is incredibly unusual but very cool. One of those things that just must be watched to be believed. The short film is originally made by a man named Stefan Nadelman (although this version has been slightly edited by Boing Boing TV), and his website describes the film as such:

A very cool development my fellow So Good readers. As you may know, two days ago I broke the story about Ryan Giesel, a student who started a Facebook group titled “If 100,000 people join, I’ll eat every McDonalds value meal, #1-12.”

The only stipulation the group’s creator makes, is that while he promises to [...]

On Thursday, I wrote about a new Kraft product called the Bagel-Ful. It’s one of those “products of convenience” that no one realizes they need until someone starts advertising it to them. However, the uniqueness of the idea has definitely attracted some attention in the blogosphere, with both Serious Eats and Gothamist picking [...]

Our good friends over at Kraft Foods are [...]
