SNACK TIME: Your next snack, Poison on the side, Lemme get a Supa Fly Ho, Peanut patch gives hope, Tastykake sans gluten ... and rats.

- You want these. You want these really badly: crunchy little Cheetos dipped in chocolate. The Cereal Baker can take the blame. Enjoy keeping the orange off of your fingertips in the best kind of way!

- Several familiar fruits, veggies, and spices we mindlessly imbibe on a daily basis are actually lethal. Lethal, deadly weapons. I mean, it's really just about what part of the tomato you eat (stay away from those fragrant leaves), or the amount of time you cook your lima beans (less than 10 minutes and you could be consuming cyanide!). Read Foodista's breakdown and inform yourselves.

- I back this. I back this hard. Some resident in Waco, Texas are deeply offended by — while others are flocking to — a new burger stand indiscreetly named Fat Ho Burgers. Every sandwich be a ho, too, with cheese or without, but always supa fly. Have a sense of humor.

- ALLERGIC TO PEANUTS? Oh my goodness, there is finally hope for you! CNN reports that there is a still-in-the-works patch — much like a nicotine patch — to desensitize, and possibly cure, your intolerance. PB&Js for all. It's just a little weird that these researchers are testing it on their allergic children.

- Philadelphia's sugary baby, Tastykake, has gone gluten-free. They've released chewy — and, according to Gluten Free Philly, "pretty good" — chocolate chip cookies. There are also chocolate chocolate chip. Let us gluten avoiders chant together in anticipation of the unveiling of a GF peanut butter Kandykake or butterscotch krimpet.

- Um, friends ... rats are running amok in Center City restaurants. Don't be so surprised; we live in a city where filthy rodents swarm. Let's just hope these particular unfortunate joints take care of the issue.

- Turn that frown upside down and watch this video right now. The whole thing.
