09.24.08 by Cosette @ 12:34 am  What yummy looking cupcakes Moogieland made! Aw, look at the cute sharks and the tasty molded chocolate dismembered bloody hands and feet.... I'd just like to point out that shark cupcakes have a terrible reputation for attacking other cupcakes, but there just isn't a lot of documented evidence to that. It's a very rare occurrence. Just don't go into the kitchen looking like a seal cupcake. You've been warned. Found via Craftzine Categorized as: Food

09.14.08 by Widge @ 1:54 am  Ben and Jerry's latest Pint of Satan is "Cake Batter," described as "Yellow Cake Batter Ice Cream with a Chocolate Frosting Swirl." This sounds like a triple whammy, since I'm a sucker for yellow cake with any sort of frosting. (I'm especially susceptible for lemon flavored yellow cake with lemon frosting--don't ask me why, it's just one of those things.) And cake batter? That's striking at the kid in each and every one of us. This is apparently an addition to the Ben and Jerry's line for their 30th Birthday. Taking off the lid I was immediately thrilled by the smell. The smell is so good you want it in incense so you can just burn it whenever you feel like consuming sugar. Of course, each whiff added three pounds to my ass. Then, the taste. And this, surprisingly enough, is a mixed bag. The yellow cake batter part is amazing. They positively nailed the taste just like they nailed the smell. It really does freak your mind out and make you feel like you're licking the spoon. So bravo on that. Categorized as: Food and Reviews

09.13.08 by Widge @ 4:11 pm  Apparently there is a BK Crown Card--a very rare card that entitles the cardholder to unlimited free Burger King food. This revealed by Hugh Laurie bringing up the subject--and thus becoming reportedly the twelfth recipient of one. Just for pushing Burger King's products. Same thing with the likes of Robert Downey Jr. and George Lucas. So here's my question: where's ours? Yes, I know, we committed an affront to God and nature by bringing back the Burger King from whatever pocket hell he had been banished to. Soon after we invoked him at one of our Gonzo Film Fests, he re-appeared to terrorize people in commercials right and left in a new and even more disturbing form. And we are honestly and sincerely sorry about that, we assure you. But since we're going to hell for it anyway, we might as well get some free burgers out of the deal, right? I ran this by Ken, who is equally guilty of this dark deed. He responded, "Death to McDonald's. Just give us the goddamn card." So we're in violent agreement. Categorized as: Food

08.14.08 by Widge @ 3:43 am  As everyone knows, I'm a sucker for anything that purports to be packed full of caffeine. And upon hearing about Engobi, little snacky bits "infused with caffeine," I was intrigued. Each single serving bag comes with 140mg of caffeine. They come in two flavors: Cinnamon Surge and Lemon Lift. So they sent me over some samples to try out. The cinnamon variety starts off fairly tasty: there's the sugar and the cinnamon to greet you. They're nice and crispy corn and wheat puff things that are very pleasant to initially chomp into. But then you greet the bane of many a caffiend's existence: sucralose. What's odd is it's the last ingredient on the ingredient list, and yet it's the one that stays with you. Even more than the caffeine taste. And considering the back of the bag states that there's, on average, 66 pieces in each bag--that's around just a hair over 2mg of caffeine per crispy bit. Is the taste of 2.5mg of caffeine such that the sucralose is warranted? I honestly don't know. I don't consume the stuff in such small quantities normally. It's easy to see how you could blow through a bag of this stuff, since I wanted to get that initial rush of cinnamon and sugar not just because it was pleasant but also because that overwhelmed the lingering sucralose aftertaste. An aftertaste that lingered for a good twenty minutes. Categorized as: Food and Reviews

08.02.08 by Widge @ 2:27 pm  S. Truett Cathy is the founder of Chick-Fil-A, who apart from having tasty chicken sandwiches has pissed off the cow community by implying they cannot spell. But that wasn't the reason for two preteen girls to break into the guy's home, spraying fire extinguishers, throwing eggs around, and more. The total amount of damage? $30K. Those must have been some serious eggs. However, instead of selling the girls for parts on the organ black market in order to cover the repairs (like you or I would do), Cathy went for something else. "In a deal Cathy worked out with their parents, the girls must write 'I will not vandalize other people's property' 1,000 times. They're also banned from watching TV and playing video games and must read a good book." Sadly though, as this verdict was being handed down, the clock ticked over into Sunday, and Cathy, along with all of his Chick-Fil-A shock troops, went into standby mode. The two girls were able to escape and remain at large. Categorized as: Food
