For kids who haven’t mastered their spaghetti-twirling, or an adult with questionable motor skills — there’s the Rolognese Spaghetti Fork. Simply place the spaghetti fork in your paskettys and turn the crank.
Your pasta will be conveniently rolled for you. Sorry, there’s nothing to automatically wipe the sauce from your face.

Flavored vodka started innocently enough with lemon and orange. But lemon and orange begat vanilla, blueberry, and peach. Then, the trend of flavored vodkas descended into madness, leaving a path of destruction littered with clear liquids that tasted like cupcakes and waffles.
Nevertheless, since flavored vodkas have provided so much joy in the form of blog material — Foodiggity would like to pay it forward with a few flavor suggestions of our own. And, based on current food trends, these suggestions might even act as an accurate looking glass into vodka’s already doomed future. Please drink this in responsibly.
At the time of this writing, there is no other food item on the planet with a more rabid fan base than Sriracha. So, it only makes sense that the flavored vodka people find a way to make cock-vodka happen. Pair it with: Anything… Just like actual Sriracha.
Carnival grub on-the-go gets a much needed upgrade. Deep-fried corn batter with notes of salty tubed meat — now with the bonus sting of 40% alcohol. Pair it with: Ketchup and mustard chasers.
We’re not sure what flavor Circus Peanuts are supposed to be, and we don’t care. Make the vodka neon orange with a clown on the bottle, and we’re in. Pair it with: Shame.
The long-lost neon green beverage makes another comeback. And, what better spokesman could there be than an incoherent cockeyed ghost? Pair it with: Caffeinated marshmallows.
Nutella should be placed on everything. So, if there’s going to be any new vodkas, Nutella needs to be involved. It might not be the best choice for breakfast, but then again, neither is Nutella. Pair it with: Cereal, eggs, toast, or anything to help remind you that it’s still morning.
Raw fish and alcohol go great together. What’s this ‘saki’ you speak of? Well that had a good run, because sushi vodka is inevitable. You can even serve it warm, we don’t care. Pair it with: Shots of soy and miso.
Sure, we could buy separate Bloody Mary mix, but that just sounds like a lot of work. Get vodka that’s already flavored like spicy tomato juice. If necessary, throw in a cheeseburger for an extreme version. Pair it with: Celery, a cheeseburger, sriracha vodka.
So there you have it, folks. What are some other flavored vodkas you’d like to see become a reality? And, would you drink any of the fictional flavored vodkas seen above?
It’s almost flip-flop weather. And, rather than being an open-toed nuisance with your incessant flipping and flopping, you could send a message with “Follow Me Bring Beer” Flip-Flops.
The custom footwear is brought to us by Etsy member FlipSideFlipFlops, who will actually create any message that you’d like to embed in the sand. But let’s face it… A request to bring beer is one that people will certainly abide. Even from someone wearing flip-flops.

Meat your new favorite fashion accessories… Created to be a commentary on over-the-top consumerism, Swiss artist Andrea Hasler created Burdens of Excess — a series of fashion accessories made of meat.
At least the sculptures are made to look like meat — they actually consist of a few materials, mostly a wax compound. So, please do not try to eat the Gucci.

Lollyphile, makers of gourmet lollipops, have come up with a new offering that should make some lolly fans and a few toddlers drool… Breast Milk Lollipops.
But hold on… There’s no evil lab filled with new mothers hooked up to milking devices — as we here at Foodiggity assumed. The lollipops are vegan, and do not actually contain milk. Sorry, toddlers and perverts.

Surrealist Camping Lunch is a series of paintings by artist Till Rabus. Heavily-influenced by the surrealist works of Salvador Dali, Rabus combines hallucinogenic imagery and Dali’s style with various foods and kitchen tools. For similar results, try dropping some acid while at an all-you-can-eat buffet.*
