SNACK TIME: Let's watch Brad Pitt eat, healthy Paula Deen?, Wendy's steps its meat game up, pancake injuries, Paddy's Pub + Parks and Rec, he brought his own ice, drunk babies, this chick loves chicken nugs, and 2012 Food Resolutions

- Here's a whole minute and 14 seconds of Brad Pitt eating and drinking in movies. Does he have some sort of edible clause in his contract?

- In light of the not-shocking news of Paula Deen's diabetes, Twitlebrity Megan Amram imagines what a health-food cookbook from PD might look like. Paula's Guilt Free® Pizza Pants look very good.

- For those who enjoy the finer things in life, Wendy's is rolling out a premium Black Label burger. They'll offer two versions: bacon portabella ("Take that, vegetarians!" -Wendy), and spicy Santa Fe. The burgers will run you more than $5, so start saving up now.

- L.A. Kings forward Dustin Penner hurt himself while eating pancakes a few weeks ago, which has led to multiple awesome moments, including a fan bringing a box of pancake mix to a game for Penner to autograph. Apparently he's been a good sport about all this pancake business.

- If you caught last week's episode of Parks and Recreation, you may have recognized the building Ron Swanson and Co. got pulled over in front of — it was Paddy's Pub from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Get all the complaining about "Shit _____ Says" vids out of your system because we're posting this one no matter what: Shit Bartenders Say. And mezcal is totally played out.

- Check out this award-winning ad for L'Univers de Chocolat featuring drunk babies. The author of the post asks where one can find those chocolates. I ask: Where can one find those babies?

- You know that thing when you just really, really want McDonald's and you're willing to do anything to get it? No? This lady does: She tried to prostitute herself for Chicken McNuggets. It didn't work.

- Former CP editor in chief Brian Howard wrote this reasonable piece on 2012 food resolutions for the Philly Post. One of my food resolutions: become famous and have some sort of edible clause in my contract.
