SNACK TIME: The happy/terrifying Hot Dog Man, yummy pants ribs, the ultimate Philly chef chart, get your placenta-eating game right, and Hershey Chocolate's large-scale douche moves

- The Happy Hot Dog Man! Producing edible wiener humanoids guaranteed to give you night terrors for life!

- What is it with people and stealing pork? I told you before about a guy who stole a pig leg right out of a meat truck, and now a guy from Carlisle, Pa. is stealing racks of ribs. Donald Noone, while highly intoxicated, tried to pilfer ribs from a Giant by sticking them down his pants. Worst part: This was the second time he was caught doing it. Are those dry-rubbed or are you just happy to see me?
 
- Last week, the Philadelphia Daily News published an awesome article about the development of the Philadelphia restaurant scene. Use the PDF chart (I love charts!) to track the paths your favorite restaurants and chefs took on their journeys to food-filled glory.

- I am sharing this with you because I had to see it, so it's only fair that everyone else sees it, too. Plus, who knows? You might really want to learn how to cook placenta.

- Way to go Hershey's, marring our fondest chocolate memories with your unfair labor conditions. After a huge walkout, a Hershey’s packing plant is being investigated for taking advantage of hundreds of international exchange students. When they complained about strenuous work and low pay, the company threatened to deport them. You’ll never look at your candy bars the same way again. (More about this story on the Naked City blog.)
