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

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!

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

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.

Just when you think they’ve made every possible bit of Star Wars Merchandise, the Japanese go and surprise you.

Created by master toy makers Kotobukiya, these Lightsaber Chopsticks come in both Darth Vader (linked below) and Luke Skywalker varieties, and to get the whole family in the act, each set of 9″ chopsticks comes with an additional pair of 8″ Yoda lightsaber chopsticks for the kids.

They’re available for pre-order now, at just $20 a pair.  I’m not gonna say too much, but a certain blogger’s birthday is coming up, and between these links and that Amazon Wish List on the right…

Yeah, you get the idea. :)

It’s A Beautiful Day to Die: KFC’s Double Down Sandwich

Part of me wants to believe this is a cruel joke.  That, or the universe has decided to give Patton Oswalt new material, given that his new album My Weakness is Strong! releases on Tuesday.

Either way, this is PROOF that KFC is attempting to murder us all, after that wussy Kentucky Grilled Chicken cop-out.

That glorious “sandwich” above is called the KFC Double Down.  I put sandwich in quotes, as it doesn’t use bread, OH NO! TOO EASY!

If anything, it’s a bacon, cheese and Colonel’s Sauce sandwich, where instead of bread…it’s TWO FRIED CHICKEN FILETS. WHAT THE HELL.

Thus far, it only seems to be available in certain markets, but KFC is totally giving it the full marketing push, with commercials airing on local television (seen below).

KFC, you tried to kill me with the Famous Bowl, but by GOD, I will not let you kill me this way!

…but I do want to try one anyway.

The Future Is Now: ICE CREAM THAT DOESN’T MELT

Someone better tailor me for my jumpsuit and give me my keys to my flying car, ’cause we’re in the goddamned future!

It’s not enough that every video game console creator is designing ways for us to control games without…you know…a controller.  Now, the wizards at Coldstone Creamery have designed the impossible: Ice Cream That Doesn’t Melt!

Nope. Doesn’t melt. Instead, it turns into JELL-O PUDDING.

This is science, folks. The two flavors available at launch will be Chocolate & Butterscotch.

The delicious treat that blows away all standards of what we believed possible will be available at participating Coldstone Creamery locations starting today, June 3rd, and ending on July 28th.  What a world.
