The Extreme Sandwich Arms Race Has A New Victor

Filed Under: eats
Aug.11, 2010

Do you think that when Wendy’s introduced the Baconator, they realized what they started?

We’ve seen chicken sandwiches where the chicken is the bread, hamburgers where grilled cheese served as the bun, burgers where mashed potatoes were the topping…and now…this.

Denny’s has just announced the latest sandwich to keep professional dietitians in business, the Fried Cheese Melt.

Placing four mozzarella sticks in a grilled cheese sandwich, I’m fairly sure that if you eat one, you will die. But hey, it’s just $4.

Of course, someone is probably reading this, and now figuring out how to make it even more extreme.

My heart, or more accurately, the valves there of, hurt to write this post.

Thanks for the heads up, Katherine!

Jul.05, 2010

This week, I think it’s safe to say my favorite t-shirt site outdid themselves with 2 shirts that combine two of my favorite things – sweets and pop culture references!

The first shirt, “Something Strange, In Your Beverage…” by David Staffel, depicts a hot cup of Cocoa, just BUSTIN’ full of Marshmellows!

The second, “Cookies” by Tang Yongfa, mixes a video game classic, the best children’s show ever, and delicious cookies, for another great tee.

Any way you look at it, they’re two shirts I’d love to have in my wardrobe.  And if you click the images for each, you can pick them up yourself!

Thanks Science! NEW KETCHUP PACKETS!

It’s an amazing world we live in, full of stunning technological advancements.

Sure, we haven’t cured AIDS, Cancer or the common cold, or even figured out how to properly dispose of 3 feet of snow (no, not bitter), but we’ve finally solved one of the problems which I’ve never known was one – THE KETCHUP PACKET!

Coming soon to a restaurant near you is the latest innovation from the fine folks at Heinz, a brand new Ketchup packet, which not only holds more ketchup than the standard foil packet, but also allows you to both dip or squeeze the ketchup from two separate openings!

These packets should start to get rolled out by the Summer, with a full roll out in the fall. What a magical world we live in.

Straight from the sexy decade known as the swingin’ 70′s comes this Japanese Television commerical for canned tuna (called “Sea Chicken” from Hagomoro Foods.

In no way, shape or form are they stealing characters and concepts from Star Wars to help sell their tuna.

Oh no. It’s 100% original concepts for this sci-fi themed tuna ad.

God of War III Slurpees Deliver What Gamers Need More Of…Sugary Drinks!

Filed Under: eats, gaming, swag
Jan.31, 2010

Anyone who knows me personally knows that the cups in my house are, at least in majority, made up of the collectors style Slurpee cups.

What can I say, I love them.  Great designs, last long, and they add a touch of nerd to my decor.

So it’s with that said, that I admit that I watch for every series of Slurpee cups, to see what will be added to the mix.  I’m ashamed to say I was never able to find Domo cups, but this February, I’ll be damned if I won’t be adding these awesome God of War III Slurpee Cups to my collection!

Based on the amazing Playstation game series (and, more importantly, timed to the release of the Playstation 3 sequel), all 4 cups come with images of Kratos, as well as codes for downloadable in game content.

If that wasn’t enough, 7-Eleven has dug up a new flavor of slurpee, called “Kratos’ Fury”.  What does fury taste like? Blackberries and lime apparently.  Delicious, berry flavored fury. Can’t wait.

New Coke Can Design Would Have Me Drinking Soda Again!

So, last April, after some extensive dental work, which has continued into today, I gave up soda for the most part.  I’ve gone from drinking it literally daily, to drinking it on very rare occasions.

I can say honestly, however, if Coca-Cola moved towards using a can design like this Concept design, I’d grab a 12 pack in a heartbeat.

With an embossed logo, each of these cans look great, without the effort of a single color.  If I had to guess though, Coke would turn it down for not using their trademark red/white color scheme.

Oh, to dream of what could be.

Tauntaun Wedding Cake Is One Part Awesome, One Part Horrifying!

Filed Under: eats, movies
Nov.04, 2009

So recently, Star Wars trading card artist Chris Trevas got married.

Ergo, he wanted a fancy cake. But not just any fancy cake, oh no.

He wanted a Tauntaun cake. Complete with a lil’ Luke Skywalker dangling out.

And honestly, the end results, when viewed close up…are pretty horrifying.

First, let’s note the dead eyes of the Tauntaun.

Then, let’s note the unusually realistic sculpt of Luke Skywalker, which appears to be complete with Mark Hamill’s auto accident scars.

Then you add the image of the groom eating the cake intestines first…

And all and all, I’ve ruined my want for breakfast, lunch and dinner for days to come, and created a nightmare.

Thanks Chris, for being nerdy enough to scare me.

A Blast From The Past: MARVEL MANIA Restaurant Menu

Filed Under: comics, eats
Sep.30, 2009

With Marvel now being owned by Disney, fanboys everywhere are wondering if the Mouse House will end up exploiting the Marvel license in ways unseen.

Seems they have a limited memory though, as Marvel has always pushed their name on anything they could, and between the glorious years of 1998 and 2000, this included a short lived restaurant, called Marvel Mania.

Over at Comic Book Resourced, they’ve uncovered the menu for the Universal City based restaurant, and it’s full of terrible comic puns, as you’d expect.

It featured appetizers like Gambit’s Ragin’ Cajun Quesadillas, entrees like Archangel Hair Pasta and Doc Ock’s Wok stir fry, but the real draw had to be the desert known as THE GALACTUS.

The Galactus, surely a destroyer of worlds, is described as such:

You’ll need to be the devourer of worlds to tackle this titan.  Twelve scoops of ice cream topped with marshmallow, hot fudge, raspberry and caramel sauce; nuts, cherries and whipped cream.  A titanic treat, perfect for any party or Super Hero family.

All that could’ve been yours for just $35.

Honestly, reading over this menu has me hoping another Marvel themed restaurant in the works.  At the least, we get a new awesomely illustrated menu!  Click through the link below for more of a look at the restaurant, including photos of the Mark Bagley illustrated menu.
