The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
How do you celebrate one of your greatest food cities? Well, if you’re Japan, you do it by running a Sushi River through it.
Part of the Osaka Canvas Project, Rolling Sushi will float down Osaka’s Tombori Riverwalk on October 3rd, 4th and 17th — mimicking a sushi conveyor belt. Find out more about the project here.

You’re probably not getting enough inflatables in your diet, so here are some Food Balloons.
Brought to us by artist Vanessa McKeown, boring fruits and vegetables are replaced with fun balloons. Far more entertaining than actual produce, the balloons may even last longer than the organic stuff.
Check out the project below and here.

Do you enjoy drinking in public or at work, but the man is keeping you down? Lolo Lids are here to help.
Fortunately, public coffee drinking is not yet frowned upon, so a Lolo Lid will turn almost any large coffee cup into a way of drinking your adult beverage all sneaky-like.
Simply snap a beer can onto the lid, place the lid atop the disposable coffee cup of your choice, and no one will be the wiser. That is unless, you have too many “coffees” at your office meeting, and start slurring through your PowerPoint presentation.
Lolo Lids are currently in Kickstarter phase, and you can learn more about the project here.
What better way to learn fun facts about food, than with cartoons and clever puns. That wasn’t a question… there is in fact no better way.
Food For Thought, by artist Siow Jun, gives us a lesson in food, while providing some eye candy and clever wordplay. Who knew that avocados are made up almost entirely of fat. That wasn’t a question either… we will not have you talking bad about avocados around here.
Please enjoy some learning and cartoons below, or over at Jun’s Behance site.

Firebox appears to have captured the elusive unicorn, extracted its mystical tears, and have done what most of us would do with this newfound power… use it to make booze.
Unicorn Tears Gin Liqueur does just that. The magical elixir is not only 40% ABV, with notes of candied orange peels, maple syrup, and pine-y juniper berries — but edible silver flakes are included to complete the effect.
We assume that the unicorns cried the silver too. Is there anything they can’t do?
