CowWow: For That “Bottom Of The Cereal Bowl” Taste Baked Right Into The Milk

By David Ponce on 04/15/13 • Leave a comment!

Milk is nutritous, only when it isn’t. After it’s had some sugary, artificially flavoured cereal soaking in it for a few minutes, it’s probably closer to candy than it is to anything you’d want to recommend as part of a healthy lifestyle. But, anything worth doing is probably worth overdoing, so screw that. CowWow is a flavored milk that tries to recreate that “bottom of the cereal bowl” taste, all the while skipping the eating of the cereal altogether; yes, skipping the part that might have had even a tiny bit of nutrition. There are currently two flavours, “Chocolate Chip Cathy and Fruity Trudy, with two more, Cinny Minny and Marsha Mallow, set for release later this year.”

Surprisingly, the nutritional sticker on this milk product isn’t as shocking as you’d expect, with a one-cup serving clocking in at 170 calories and 22g of carbs. Expect to see it in stores this summer.

There’s Food In Your Hair: Would You Like Fries With Your ‘Do?

By Hazel Chua on 03/22/13 • Leave a comment!

Food Hair

I can imagine a bunch of crazy scenarios where food would somehow end up being spread all over your head. I don’t know when it became fashionable to ‘wear’ food on your head, either, but I guess I’m a little late on the trend because these foodie hair accessories are popping up all over the place–and I just heard about them today.

Apparently, walking around and looking like you’ve got some pancakes or fries on your head is hot these days. What’s even hotter is when you’re wearing a strip of bacon on your hair instead.

You can hit the break to check out a couple more shots of the delicious accessories.

Sriracha Salt

We’re not sure at which point in the last years Sriracha entered the Hall Of Fame of Geek foods, along with bacon… and bacon, but it’s definitely there. There’s Sriracha Popcorn, Sriracha Chocolate, and now we stumble across Sriracha salt. For those times when sauce is just too wet for your tastes, this salt is “a dehydrated mixture of Sriracha sauce, kosher salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.” The vast majority of reviewers on Amazon seem to give it the thumbs up, so we’re gonna go ahead and assume it’s decent. Considering it’s $5, you won’t break the bank even if you don’t end up loving it. However, it doesn’t seem to be available at the moment, but you can sign up to be notified of when it is.

It’s Rainbow-rrific: Unicorn Sprinkles Shaker Adds Magic to Every Cupcake

By Hazel Chua on 02/21/13 • Leave a comment!

Unicorn Sprinkles Shaker

It’s interesting how just a little bit of color adds so much life to whatever dessert you’ve got, from ice cream and cupcakes to brownies and fudge. And what better way to add rainbow-colored sprinkles and life to your sweet treats than with an equally festive sprinkles shaker in the form of a unicorn?

Quirky salt and pepper shakers like the Switch and logic-defying Vortex shakers have had their share of the spotlight for years. It’s about time sprinkle shakers took center stage, starting with this one.

DIY: Chicken N’ Waffles On A Stick

By David Ponce on 02/20/13 • Leave a comment!

Chicken and waffles are as American a dish as apple pie. Eating stuff on a stick? We’re not sure if that’s an “American thing” as well (we doubt it; other parts of the world love kebabs for instance), but we do know you Yanks enjoy corn dogs and such. So why not combine the convenience of skewered food with the deliciousness of Chicken N’ Waffles? The Instructables link below give you a step by step on making your own, but it’s pretty simple. It involves first impaling some friend chicken, then wrapping it in batter and sticking in into a corn dog maker.

Suggested dipping sauce? Jalapeño vanilla breakfast syrup. Yes, this exists.

Table Created Entirely Of Dried Out French Bread

By David Ponce on 02/15/13 • 5 Comments

In an attempt to get a discussion about food waste going, Polish design firm Studio Gyalik created the table you see above. They were inspired by the Vienna case study, where food thrown away in the Austrian capital could feed half of the population of Graz. Using nothing but dried out loaves of French bread, the table is supposed to make you feel bad about wasting food. Or something. We’re scant on details, and we don’t typically understand art anyway. All we know is we’re looking at a table made from bread and we’re getting kind of hungry.

The creation is art of an exhibition called “‘the food project. the shape of taste’ curated by beppe finessi at the MaRT/ museo di arte moderna e contemporanea di trento e rovereto. The show presents the art of industrial projects and experimental design applied to food. Open to public from february 9 to june 2, 2013.”

Grilled Cheese Sandwich Is Made From 100% Cheese

By David Ponce on 02/11/13 • 2 Comments

Because the world doesn’t have enough foods that can give you heart disease, we’re happy to bring you news of the 100% Cheese Grilled Cheese Sandwich. It’s… pretty much what it sounds like. It’s made by Nick from DudeFoods, who discovered something called “Bread Cheese” by the Carr Valley Cheese Company while on a Wisconsin Cheese Tour. Seeing the novel cheese got him wondering if he could turn it into something more… interesting.

What if I were to make a grilled cheese sandwich that used this cheese in place of bread? A grilled cheese sandwich that was 100% cheese! I had no idea if it would even work, but right on the packaging Carr Valley actually recommends sautéing this cheese in a skillet. Plus, the cheese is already partially baked in an oven — hence the dark brown spots on it — so I figured it would be worth a shot.

So Nick took the block of cheese, cut it in half, stuffed it with the very wholesome American Cheese and put it on a pan.

It turned out way better than I even expected. The bread cheese softened up a bit, but completely kept its shape, while the American cheese melted perfectly in the middle. Long story short, the sandwich was delicious!

This Is Pizza Hut’s Hot-Dog Crusted, Shrimp Tempura Pizza, With Mayonnaise

By David Ponce on 02/07/13 • 3 Comments

You’d think that after a headline like that, we’d be saying “‘Murica, F*&K Yeah!” But we aren’t because the pizza you see there isn’t available in America. Or at least, it’s not being sold in Pizza Huts in the states. It’s in China, and was photographed by John Lehmann, a photojournalist with the Globe and Mail who is travelling through the country and documenting his experiences on Tumblr.

That’s it folks. Just wanted to show you a picture that highlights that, hey, it’s not just in America that you see food creations that should be sold with an accompanying bottle of Pepto Bismol.
