SNACK TIME: Marzipan newborns, Easy as wine, Eau de bacon, Not your average Dorito, Pizza tools and a really upsetting eating disorder

- Easily one of the most disturbing confections one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen: the marzipan baby. Yes of course, use one as a cake topper for a baby shower or something. Naturally, a yawning baby is appropriate. But, they have hair. I can't deal. These look like real infants.

- Now we've got the option of making wine more portable than ever. If you don't care about pairing and just want your vino on the go, Flasq wines are packaged in eco-friendly recycled aluminum and provide two full glasses.

- Humans just go mad about bacon, and now, humans can smell like it. A chic eau de toilette dubbed Bacon (obvs, but pronouced "bay-cohn," you know, to sound tres Parisienne) has been released by Fargginay, who seems to only make who seems only to make bacon cologne. From the essential oils of bacon. OK …

- While Cool Ranch is always appreciated, why aren't we so lucky to experience international Dorito varieties like yuzu, sesame chicken, seaweed, peking duck or gourmet sausage? Now That's Nifty exposes 102 such options. This is feeling a little like when we shared those endless Kit Kat flavors enjoyed in Japan. Envy.

- I don't know about you, but I'm tired of the traditional pizza cutter. The old rolling metal wheel. It's also something that just gets lost in the kitchen. These pizza scissors (with built-in spatula!) seem like a much more convenient and civilized option.

- A very rare eating disorder called Pica causes sufferers to desire certain non-nutritive, inedible foods like plastic, batteries and soap. It occurs mostly with children and pregnant women. A woman out there was profiled this week by The Daily Mail regarding her uncontrollable 21-year-old addiction to foam sofa stuffing.

    If I am ever at a celebration and that creepy baby is on my slice of cake, I will run away screaming, fyi. *shudder*
