- Baked potato Kit Kat. Salted watermelon Kit Kat. Camembert cheese Kit Kat. Ginger Ale Kit Kat. Japan always has the coolest shit. Check out WeirdAsiaNews' roundup of the Kit Kat bars we can't have.
- Cloudberries. They sound so divine. So serene and gentle. So tempting. They actually exist. Have any of you tried them? Huffington Post reports Swedish memories of these little gems, also called "Lakka" in Finnish, and a recipe to boot. Good luck finding some — let us know when you do.
- Sometimes activism takes gnarly, outrageous turns: a Miami Beach dog trainer is eating dog food every day in hopes of passing a bill that increase the penalty for animal cruelty. We don't really know what else to say.
- Did you know that White Castle ups its game for V-Day every year? Red tablecloths, table service, additional menu items, fresh red roses and candles galore. My beau and I think this is pretty dope, to skip (for once) a fixed-price menu and gorge together without any pressure. Slashfood shares a video of their romantic dining experience on Monday.
- Author, wanderlust and celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain nods his head in agreement with Marc Vetri's recent decision to axe a la carte from his menu, Delaware Online reports. He believes it's the "best case scenario," and those who feel otherwise should go to the Olive Garden.
- Musicians turn into actors. So do models. Or vice versa. Then they turn into a perfume brand. Then, the clothing line is released. Something functional and even relevant on this plane: chefs becoming shoe designers. Chris Cosentino and friends are designing footwear for Mozo: for chefs by chefs, and these are not Batali's crocs.
- Taylor Fladgate has just released "Scion," a Tawny Port that dates back to 1855 and goes for more than $3,000 a bottle. The Daily Meal tastes and tells. Is it worth it? That's up to you to decide, moneybags.
I Agree with Kibby (for once in my life). Keep up the good work!

Just wanted to say that ever since LRP started writing the snack time posts that they have been one of my favorite MT features. Super funny and such good content!!!! I'm impressed.
Aw, kibby! Thank you so much! I'm blushing! I have a LOT of fun writing Snack Time, maybe too much!
Means so much, SMILLA! Thank you!
