Latte Art, Now in 3D

grid

Attention, all other latte artists… Your work sucks. Osaka-based barista Kazuki Yamamoto has added a new dimension to the frothy art form — creating 3D latte art.

Whether it’s a cat transitioning from one cup to another, or Yamamoto simply showing off by constructing a giraffe — there’s now a new frightening standard in temporary coffee art.

How To Use Chopsticks

If you were looking for the definitive instructional video on how to properly use chopsticks, then look no further. At least The Japanese Tradition is somewhat educational for the first few minutes — until the video takes a bizarre turn and starts following standard Japanese protocol, i.e. bat-shit-craziness. Please enjoy.

Something that we’ve suspected all along… Baguettes can do anything. Tumblr blog Baguette-Me-Nots by Serious Lunch agrees, and features a few celebrities and comedians convincingly using baguettes in place of everyday objects.

From a hairdryer to a gun silencer, and whatever the hell George Takei is using it for — the series may be a bit more head-scratching than thought provoking, but it does make us want a baguette — more so.

DVDs That Look And Smell Like Pizza

dominos-pizza-dvds

Domino’s Brazil has come up with a set of DVDs that’ll make you want some pizza to go with that movie. Partnering with a few video rental stores in Sao Paolo and Rio de Janeiro, the DVDs are printed with a thermal ink that, at first glance, appears to be a standard label.

When warmed by the heat of your DVD player, the discs will reveal the look and smell of a real pizza — which is more than we can say about an actual Domino’s pizza. Please enjoy this video…

Star Wars/Star Trek Mashup Cookies

KlickitatStreet Star Trek Star Wars Mashup Quogs

Now that one person, J.J. Abrams, is responsible for the creative direction of both Star Wars and Star Trek, geeks worldwide are having an even harder time choosing sides. These cookies won’t help.

Brought to us by Sarah Trefney, Star Wars/Star Trek Cookies combines a few notable characters from the two franchises — such as Spock as Obi-Wan, Chekov as Luke, and Darth as a Klingon.

Hopefully the cookies taste as good as Episode VII sounds. Because batches I, II, and III tasted like crap.
