This Soda Is Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger!

The amazing French musical duo known as Daft Punk has been far too quiet since the release of last year’s Tron Legacy soundtrack.

All we’ve really heard from the guys in the robot helmets since is a disappointing remix album and a poorly remastered version of Interstella 555 on blu-ray. So I’m somewhat happy to say they have a new collaboration in the works. Or maybe it’s best called a colaboration – as they have teamed with Coca-Cola to create a limited edition bottled version of Coke called, not too shockingly, Daft Coke.

Unfortunately, these awesome bottles are limited to an edition of 20, only available in Daft Punk’s native France. But hey, you can see a full gallery of images (all 3) below. So, buck up, and lets hope they tour in 2012 or something.

AUTOBOTS! TURN INTO A CUPCAKE AND ROLL OUT!

Hey, you guys remember when Hostess made delicious baked goods based on DC Superheroes?

N-no? OK, that’s fair. But they did. And it was awesome.

Anyway, in celebration of the home video release of this summer’s explosion highlight reel Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Hostess has decided to mash up their snowballs and cupcakes with Autobots and Decepticons for a limited edition run.

 

 

The classic Snoball has been given an Autobot touch with Optimus Prime, making for SNOBALLIMUS!

 

 

Not to be outdone, the classic Hostess Cupcake has gone evil, combining with the Decepticon Shockwave to make…CHOCKWAVE!

Transformers: Dark of the Moon hits DVD and Blu-Ray on September 30th, so expect these treats to hit your local grocer around them. If they don’t have them, do what Michael Bay would do…BLOW THE PLACE SKY HIGH.

Maybe MACHETE Should’ve Been Claymation All Along

Remember those weird claymation ads for Lipton Brisk Tea back when, starring Hollywood legends like Bruce Lee in stop motion form?

Well, I guess someone remembered it fondly, as there is a new one. But the star is a very different kind of legend.

The star is the Mexican you don’t want to eff with – Machete.

Yes, that’s right, the deadliest role ever played by Danny Trejo is now an adorable claymation figurine, and he’s shilling tea.

You better buy some. I mean, you don’t want Machete after you, right?

I don’t routinely share humorous internet videos on here, but in the case of this compliation of ads for Panda Cheese, I couldn’t say no.

One part angry panda, one part innocent bystanders, all parts awesome, you’ll be chuckling your head off. Click play and enjoy!

The Extreme Sandwich Arms Race Has A New Victor

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!

Threadless Monday Delivers With 2 Sweet Tees!

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.

What’s Japanese For “Blatant Copyright Infringement”?

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.
