SNACK TIME: A Nutella warrior, No more Last Supper butter, phony poo burgers, where's the packaging, and designer barcodes
"OH MY GOD I JUST KNOCKED 30 YEARS OFF MY LIFE."
SNACK TIME: A Nutella warrior, No more Last Supper butter, phony poo burgers, where's the packaging, and designer barcodes
- I love Nutella as much as the next fatty, but I ain’t got skillz like this: This dude eats a whole jar of Nutella in a little over 2 minutes. No liquids to wash it down, just a spoon and a can-do attitude. The beginning is slightly reminiscent of EpicMealTime until he starts making faces that scream "OH MY GOD I JUST KNOCKED 30 YEARS OFF MY LIFE."
- Remember that Weeds episode where there’s a butter sculpture contest? Well, we have one less butter sculptor in the food art world. Butter sculptor extraordinaire Norma Lyon died on Sunday at the age of 81. She carved everything from life-size cows to “The Last Supper.” Food sculpture is one of my favorite forms of art and Norma will be sorely missed.
- We all know the Japanese make some weird snacks (meat-flavored ice cream, anyone?), but poop meat? That seems a little far-fetched. Looks like it is: Turns out that Fox News, in addition to many other media outlets, didn't check facts before publishing a story about Japanese scientists creating edible meat from human feces. Not only was the basis of the story an unverified YouTube video, but the exact same report surfaced in the news back in 1993. Fox should probably review its journalism techniques.
- Austin, Texas, home of Whole Foods, is opening the very first no-packaging grocery store in America, called In.gredients. All food is in bulk and customers are encouraged to bring their own reusable storage containers to purchase food items. The store also plans to take on the role of a community center for cooking classes, art shows and gardening workshops.
- Barcodes are such an eyesore. If only someone would do something about this increasingly unsettling problem! We’re in luck: Smaller companies are beginning to design their own "vanity barcodes." There are New York skylines, school busses, even waterfalls. Nestle is trying out the new barcodes on its smaller brands and Bear Naked granola (a subsidiary of Kellogg's) has added a blade of wheat grass to their barcode already. Looks like your fancy food just got fancier.
