May 9th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Eaten this Week: Astronaut Ice Cream
May 8th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Last week, I happened to be near NASA, so I popped into the gift shop and bought some astronaut ice cream, which I ate on Tuesday. For those of you unfamiliar with the product, it’s neapolitan (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry) ice cream that has been freeze-dried. What’s most impressive to me, is that as it starts [...]

USA Today has a story from a couple days ago about a man who loves PBR. No I mean REALLY loves PBR. In fact, he loves PBR so much that he had a coffin pre-made for himself that is designed to look like a PBR can. Then, after the coffin was completed, he filled it with ice [...]

Yesterday, Obama ate breakfast at the Glider Diner in Scranton, PA. The lanky Obama couldn’t finish the meal, leaving behind half a sausage and a little less than half a waffle. So why is this news?

The Bacon Bra
April 3rd, 2008 · 3 Comments
One of my readers alerted me to this a few days ago, but I’ve been so busy I wasn’t able to post it right away, and it seems to already be making its rounds in the blogosphere. The picture is semi-NSFW (no nudity, but the bacon bra is very form fitting). Click “Read [...]

American Fast Food Legends are Dropping Like Flies
March 27th, 2008 · 3 Comments
This morning came news that Herb Peterson, the inventor of the Egg McMuffin, passed away at the age of 89.
This rather innocuous news would normally have failed to elicit even a passing glance from me. However, I’ve often heard people remark that bad news, or celebrity deaths in particular, come in threes. Mr. Peterson’s death [...]

You know, when I was first alerted to the existence of a “cheeseburger dress” I thought, this is going to look really stupid/weird. But now that I’ve seen it, I have to say, damn! It looks kind of cool, and is a surprisingly sexy dress.
Dress is created by Joy Kampia.
Mom Says “Fun Straw” Looks Like Genitalia
March 18th, 2008 · 4 Comments
A woman in Kentucky is upset after buying a packet of “fun straws” for her three year-old daughter at Wal-Mart. Why? Because in her mind, two of the straws look remarkably like male genitalia, or as the woman describes it in her interview with WSAZ news, “the male private area.” What do you think?

Petlane even offers a list to help determine if your dog is a Republican or Democrat:

Ever wondered what slo-mo footage of various food items would look like getting hit by a bullet? I never wondered that either. But alas, video of it exists.
Big MacChicken
March 10th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Ten days ago, the blogger over at Grocery Eats, decided to see what it would be like to replace the three pieces of bread in a Big Mac with three McChicken patties.
After admiring the initial deliciousness, he ends his post by writing:
“Fast forward 35 minutes and I’m presently at my work desk and miserable. [...]

Obstinate Couple Hates Chicken Sandwiches
March 3rd, 2008 · 8 Comments
Or at least the use of the word “Frickin’” to promote them. Michael and Sheri Sucec of Harrisburg, Pa. are calling the word “profanity.” For that reason, they are objecting to a new billboard for Sheetz Crispy Chicken Sandwich.
The couple has complained to the company that owns the billboard, Lamar Advertising, the local zoning commission, [...]

No not me. God no, I would never do that. But one young man (duh, I mean would a woman be stupid enough to do this?) has created a Facebook group (now up to more than 16,000 members) that makes this very promise.
The only stipulation the group’s creator makes, is that while he promises to [...]

And that’s saying something, because I take on all sorts of fast food monstrosities. No, I think one thing more disgusting than everything else I have written about so far would have to be the edible anus:

“Rainbow Cauliflower”
February 19th, 2008 · 6 Comments
That’s what some scientists are calling the new cauliflower strains that have been developed in Europe. There is no genetic engineering involved, they are just the result of cross-breeding. The colorful cauliflower is, in some ways, considered an upgrade. The orange version has as much as 25 times the levels of beta carotene.
