RIP: Bawls Mints

Bawls Buzz

Evil Mad Scientist Labs makes mention that Bawls Mints have gone the way of all flesh, only to be replaced by Bawls Buzz, which apparently has a different formulation that they find most displeasing. I dunno, I thought Bawls Mints weren't too terribly happening as they were, so maybe I'll like the new concoction. Anyway, if you dug the stuff, you had best stock up now.

And stop over there and read the print on the bottom of the box regardless.

Vincent Price: A Devil For Food
Posted on 08.12.07 by Widge @ 3:18 am

Vincent Price truly did love food. After all, he recorded albums discussing food, which we've discussed before. And it sounded like he really knew what he was talking about--but then again, Price has got one of those voices that he can make sound like anything he wants. So.

If you need further evidence of his love of food, we offer up this fine panel sketch he served on:

Bert Lahr vs. Lay's Potato Chips
Posted on 07.21.07 by Widge @ 7:10 pm

And yes, that is the man who brought you The Cowardly Lion. I didn't know he had been in potato chip adverts.

Free idea: a site that takes actors that are known by today's audiences for one thing (i.e. Lahr here for The Wizard of Oz) and then educates us on the rest of their career. Because so much of what else they were up to gets lost/forgotten/overshadowed.

I'd do it myself, but I don't know enough and am too damn busy as it stands. E-mail me when it's up. Thanks.

Duff and D'oh Nuts: Ben and Jerry's Extremely Limited Simpsons Ice Cream
Posted on 07.21.07 by Widge @ 4:46 am
He's the ice cream man and he'll be good to you.

Aw, man. That ain't right. Junk Food Blog gives us the headsup about Ben and Jerry's plans to tie-in to the Simpsons movie. For one day only, in the town of Springfield, Vermont (which won the bragging rights to host the premiere of the film), there will be Duff and D'oh Nuts. They report it's "a combination of chocolate and cream stout ice creams with glazed chocolate donuts." It sounds like it's only going to be in Springfield, if I'm reading this article right. Dammit. Want.

Of course, I don't have a Kwik-E Mart anywhere nearby, so I can't even get Buzz Cola, much less that stuff. Suck factor is high!

Circuitry Snacks: How the Witch Would Lure in Hansel and Gretel Today
Posted on 07.15.07 by Widge @ 7:33 pm

Circuitry Snacks from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories

The guys at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories have figured out a way that even I could learn about circuitry and might walk away with a bit of knowledge: make edible models of actual electronic bits. Nice.

Now all we need is for somebody to figure out how to make them work for real, sort of like a mad cross between Lego Mindstorms and Willy Wonka.
