SNACK TIME: Candy street art, Bill Clark's a standup guy, Jen Carroll + Tony Luke Jr. = <3?, "totes amazeballs" isn't just a dumb phrase anymore, the Roundeye controversy, ugly tippers, uglier Old City drinkers, and common cooking messups

SNACK TIME: Candy street art, Bill Clark's a standup guy, Jen Carroll + Tony Luke Jr. = <3?, "totes amazeballs" isn't just a dumb phrase anymore, the Roundeye controversy, ugly tippers, uglier Old City drinkers, and common cooking messups
In this extremely impressive vid, a guy creates a skeletal dragon lolipop by drizzling melted caramel from a spoon. This dude is for serious talented. I'm not even that precise with a fine point pen.
- Felicia D'Ambrosio has another great interview for generocity.org, this time with Philabundance's executive director, Bill Clark. Formerly a successful businessman, the now-retired Clark spends his time making sure that the hungry are getting fed: "The way to end hunger isn't just to put food in front of people who are hungry," he says. "To truly end it, we need to build a community-wide intolerance for the existence of hunger among us." It's nice to know that people like Bill exist in our city.
- The manager of the Tony Luke's brand (who should really brush up on his grammar) felt it was his social and moral obligation to let Philebrity know that Jen Carroll and Tony Luke Jr. are allegedly dating. Regardless of whether or not this little tidbit is true, the email chain and Sweeney's commentary are highly entertaining.
- Kellogg's is a wholesome family brand, but they've got a sense of humor, too. "I heard someone use the expression Totes Amazeballs, and it sounded like something from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I sent a cheeky tweet saying I'd invented a new cereal and that Kellogg's were interested," says Tim Burgess of The Charlatans. Kellogg's contacted Burgess and together they created one box of Totes Amazeballs, which is a strange conglomeration of cereal, cake, candy and raisins.
- There has been a bunch of discussion around the web lately regarding the Roundeye Noodle Bar's nomenclature since Helen Gym of Asian Americans United sent out a statement of her thoughts to the press. Our own Drew Lazor writes about the subject from an Asian-American perspective.
- Check out this post on Eater about a rich jagweed who tips only 1 percent when he dines out. Well, I never.
- It's unfortunate that Old City is still seeing violence during its busiest times. The most recent bout of brutality occurred outside of Recess Lounge (125 S. Second St.) early Saturday morning, when a man was stabbed in the leg. On a lighter and somewhat related note, check out our earlier post about Old City newcomer Reserve.
- Cooking Light has compiled a clever list of 41 of the most common cooking mistakes and how to fix them. I would admit to you that I'm guilty of committing nearly all of these mistakes, but I won't because that's embarrassing.
