Well done, ABC7 Local News. (And no, it wasn't me, though if I had access to a machete right now I might copycat. Friday!)
This pie chart (get it?) should help put the upcoming holiday in perspective a little bit. I'll have an extra helping of hangover, please.
Here's the menu for Thanksgiving dinner at the Plaza Hotel from 1899, when the roast turkey stuffed with chestnuts was but 75 cents. This puts McDonald's Dollar Menu to shame.
Food Buzz …with smallpox blankets. So begins Thanksgiving Week on Buzzfeed. Cool! Trinkets!
I know we post the occasional jokey or impractical flowchart, but I feel like I could actually get a lot of use out of this one.
China has perfected the science of keeping a fish alive while it's deep fried and then consumed. This is the one time I will ever say this, but I think I'm siding with PETA on this one.
Student chefs in Colombia have created a new desert made of passion fruit and Viagra. Apparently women are most excited by it. “They eat slowly, savoring every little spoonful. They take very small portions and after a few minutes begin to smile and confess that they feel delicious little tickles.”
The evolution of the Coke bottle design in one image. I really like the label on the second version.
How else do you think grandma's able to make so many of these during holiday season?
Last month, Stephen Colbert tore apart Miracle Whip's stupid new advertising campaign aimed at hipsters. Today, the bold marketing team at Miracle Whip responded by running this full page ad in several newspapers. Your move, Colbert.
…Ok, Fresh-N-Fast Is Pretty Much Just In-N-Out. Fresh-N-Fast is NYC's answer to In-N-Out, with the same look, menu, and feel, but they have one thing that In-N-Out doesn't: A copyright lawsuit to deal with.
I've never seen Twilight, but for some reason I thought it was about vampires. Had I known it was actually about ice cream cake, I would have considered seeing it.
The most terrifying of all vegetables! [Editor's Note: If you can find a scarier vegetable than this one, please add it.]
FYI, this was originally titled “Squirrel Deep-Throats A Peanut.” I changed it because I respect you as a reader. (Click to enlarge.)
Fancy Fast Food meets your local vending machine, with a side of math. (I would kill for a Fruit Roll-Up breakfast right now.)
In which we successfully open a bottle of wine by hitting it against a wall, just like that drunk Frenchman taught us to do. The only downsides: It was actually pretty hard work, and the wine (merlot) was terrible.
These actually come in a wide variety of styles, from rye to sesame seed bun. I hear they run small so be sure to order a half-size larger than usual.
