You might not know this about us, but we have a rather serious (and expensive) doughnut addiction, which becomes especially pronounced on lazy weekend mornings when all we want for breakfast is a warm, drippy-sweet ring of dough. No matter how intense our love of doughnuts, we’re still not sure we’re ready for any of [...]

Remember that episode of The Simpsons when Homer has to wait outside the World Trade Center to pay a parking fee until he gets so hungry he buys several stick-fulls of a mysterious meat product that sounded something like “klavkalesh”? Well, as it turns out, that sounds pretty great, especially when compared to some of [...]

We’d rather not think about all the stuff other than food that ends up in our ground beef and other various prepared and processed foods, but every so often the foreign contents is just too conspicuous to ignore. That said, when you’re serving like a billion people a year or some such absurd figure, it’s [...]

Today is National Lasagna Day, and in order to expand our readership’s appreciation of that sacred Italian dish, we’ve gone looking for some odd and unusual recipes. Did you know that lasagna is named for the Greek word “lasanon,” meaning “trivet or stand for a pot,” and that the word originally designated the dish lasagna [...]

If you’ve bitten into any of the scary texts about the fast food industry (Fast Food Nation, The Future of Food, Food Inc., Poultrygeist, etc.), you’ll know that their operations often approach organized-crime levels of corruption and manipulation. To make that parallel nice and clear, artist Andrew Shirey made this awesome drawing depicting 5 Members [...]

Several months back, we presented a listicle of some fairly gross eating contests that evoked the kind of over-eating that we’d just taken part in over Thanksgiving weekend. Now, to expand upon the copious and rushed meals enjoyed by those competitive eaters, we suggest you tuck into mental_floss’s listicle of 10 Unappetizing Eating Competitions, which [...]

Today is Eat Your Vegetables Day, and though we usually do our best to abide by such dietary dictates, there are some vegetables we simply will not eat no matter what you say. No! We won’t eat them and that’s final! You claim they’re healthy for us, but we’re telling you, they’re much too cute, [...]

Not long ago, impressing us with ice cream would have taken very little effort. In the years following our discovery that there was more than vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, even the most obvious combination of ingredients (say, mint chocolate chip) was enough to have us hooked.
Now we’re all grown up, though, so it takes a [...]

When we talk about cheese hats you understand what we mean, right? These things. Well, we’ve been told by at least one reliable source that today is Cheese Day, and in celebration we’re wearing our cheese hat all day, even under our bike helmet on our way to work. We also went on something of [...]

As you may have heard, a Starbucks on Manhattan’s Upper West Side was bombed very early in the morning yesterday. The coffee shop’s windows shattered, but nobody was hurt. To prove that clever graphic design can be a more effective form of protest than terrorism, we’ve rounded up these 14 Remixed Starbucks Logos.

Creepy, not unlike…
