The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
A McDonald’s in Warsaw, Poland recently set up a billboard that’s a functioning chalkboard. Updated twice daily by graffiti artist Stefan Szwed-Stronzynski, the ever-changing billboard was set up to help reinforce the “freshness of McDonald’s Food.”
The concept was put together by the local office of DDB, art studio Good Looking, and Krewcy Krawcy Productions.
Look a little tougher while baking with the Tattoo Oven Mitt. The lightweight mitt is adorned with a sleeve of intimidating tattoos that’ll help make you look tough when reaching into the oven. Even if it’s for a quiche. Available here.

We love you, food. But we’re so busy consuming you, that we never take the time to see what’s on the inside. Cut Food, a photo series by New York-based photographer Beth Galton, explores the innards of our meals by deliberately cutting them down the middle.
From split ramen to a bisected corn dog, the series remains visually stunning while perhaps providing a little too much information. See more here.

Brazilian graffiti artist Narcelio Grud recently left his spray paint cans at home, and instead used decomposing fruits and vegetables to create his urban art.
The project and short film Tropical Hungry sees Grud scour for leftovers at local markets. Grud then collects and separates his produce/paint by color, finds a blank wall, and gets to work. See the process in the video below.
Learn everything you needed to know about coffee, as adorably as possible, with Coffee Propaganda. The animated short is made to look and sound like a vintage newsreel from an alien planet, reporting on the discovery of the coffee bean.
The film, while extremely cute and educational, does make Earth sound like it’s full of nothing more than blue water and caffeine addicts. Just so you know, aliens… We can stop at anytime. Enjoy.

The problem with disposable cups and plastic bottles… Most of them are non-biodegradable, and don’t smell enough like rich leather. Enter the Chug-A-Lug – the answer to your sustainability concerns and your need for the feel and scent of quality.
The vegetable-tanned leather cozies securely wrap around a mason jar, that you could then fill with your favorite beverage. With a lid that seals securely, and the Chug-A-Lug’s solid brass lanyard, it could instantly become your new favorite travel mug.
Creators of the Chug-A-Lug, Freyja and Gibb, have recently started a Kickstarter campaign to help obtain the materials needed to get the cozies into mass production. Head over there and find out more.
