Another Stupid/Brilliant Idea Poised To Take Over The World.

From the "why didn't I think of it" file, leave it to the Japanese to come up with something else so stupid and inane that everyone would want one: light-up smiles. The NY Times reports that these LED smiles are taking the shores of Nippon by storm and consist of - basically - a sports mouthpiece with embedded LEDs that light up. No excuse for getting hit by a car at night now. Check out the accompanying video in the article.

What did you eat to turn your teeth that color?

Burger King's Stuffed Burger Has Arrived. Rejoice(?)!

In what is promising to be the first of many new, exciting burgers, Burger King has come out with the first gut-bomb of the new year: The Stuffed Burger. Using the slogan "In it, not on it", BK stuffs jalapenos and cheddar cheese inside its Steakhouse burger and tops it with a creamy poblano sauce. Nutrition information - if you are ready - 590 calories, 34 grams of fat and 1,240 mg of sodium. Not too bad, right? Enjoy!

Have it your way...stuffed!

"If it's not Scottish, it's Crap!"

Flavored potato chips are nothing new, but a Scottish company has decided to add a definitely local taste to its chips. Mackie's Scottish Potato Chips (or 'crisps' as they are known on the island) have added the taste of haggis, a traditional dish consisting of sheep offal, to their chips. In a less than stellar review, the taste is described as; "surprisingly more delicious than it sounds." Another featured flavor that got my attention, and may be more worthy of a try, Flame-grilled Aberdeen Angus. Enjoy!

Not you average chips.

The World's Most Perfect Food.

You may have never heard the name Vilhelm Lillefläsk, but this man should be in the food Hall of Fame. The Swedish WW2 veteran (still alive and kicking) is the creator of Squeeze Bacon. Yes, bacon that can be squeezed from a ketchup-like bottle. Check out the site where you can get some of your own. Amazing!

Squeezy, bacon-y deliciousness!

Bacon As An Art Form.

Mike Geno is an artist who has chosen to memorialize bacon on canvas (paper, actually), and it looks good enough to eat. I'd put these on my walls with pleasure, though I might be continually hungry. Check the site out for yourself.

Mmmmmm, canvas bacon.

Ho, Ho, Ho...Not!

Tender moments from an obviously over-served Santa. Note the bumper face plant. Good stuff, and a cautionary tale to all you budding Santas out there.

A plethora of pork and a blanket of kraut make this the most jolly (and fattening) of depictions. Yum!

O come all ye...hungry.
