SNACK TIME: Meat water, Soda pot, Flavor Flav's flava, Life with the Geat, Inhaling your meals, and Cookies inside of cookies

- What, you didn't want your water to taste like Acai berry or lemon zest? You'd much prefer a Beef Stroganoff, Moules frites, even Haggis? From Brooklyn comes MeatWater, a beverage that acts as a "meal supplement" for you on-the-go carnivores. This curious product is available in an array of meaty flavors — even a salad selection for those of you craving lighter fare — all of which are still vegan-friendly (WTF?) and packed with proteins and amino acids. - While we're on the topic of strange beverages, Californian medical marijuana is now being bottled and canned as soda, Yum Sugar reports. Flavors are named after specific strains of marijuana and live in the most blacklight-owner-lava lamp-having friendly packaging. - NY Daily News reports that your boy Flavor Flav is opening a restaurant. He's parking himself right beside a KFC with his spot — Flav's Fried Chicken, or FFC — in Clinton, Iowa. Rumor has it that he plans on expanding his business into a chain group spread across the country. Check out the video for Flav's very own secret recipe (don't shortchange him, he has a culinary degree) and his plans. - The kids over at Fishtown's Music Fountain Cafe (308 E. Girard Ave.) have a very involved thing going for Philly's own television and radio personality, Jerry Blavat. Their blog centers entirely upon endlessly entertaining daily interactions had with the "Geator with the Heater" in the shop.

- Is breathing your food — instead of chewing it — the future of eating? I hope not. A couple of mad food scientists have transformed any and all food and drink items into breathable vapor that are inhaled from a Le Whaf machine, DailyMail UK reports. - The sky just dumped like 2feet of snow on us. I figured that this simple recipe from Becky Bakes for what sounds like the most incredible snack — OREO STUFFED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE — would be a sufficient way to indulge yourself without much effort. And, a gluten-free version of the treat is a simple adaptation. Namaste.
