The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
The See-Saw Table, created by designer Marleen Jansen, is a great way to ensure that everyone finishes their meal at the same time — or perfect for someone who hates their spouse. And don’t even think about inviting that skinny friend of yours over for dinner — unless you like eating on the floor.

Inspired by Mr. Whippy ice cream cones, Cone Lamps is a series of hanging earthenware by Alex Garnett. While being a marvel of design, they also encourage the use of energy-saving fluorescent lightbulbs to mimic the swirlies of soft-serve ice cream. Now the lure of ice cream cones can literally hang over your head.

If there is one thing we can believe in, it’s caffeine and its ability to make our days more tolerable. And if you like a little data visualization with your brew, the In Caffeine We Trust Poster is for you. Brought to us by Column Five, the offset-printed 18×24 poster is designed to be a fun way to monitor just how much of an addict you are.
Using the staining properties of coffee itself, and the poster as canvas — keep track of your coffee’s origin, how strong it was that day, and just how much you’re actually pouring down your gullet over the course of a month. Available here.
Created by artist Bruce Lowell, the LEGO Donut looks good enough to eat… if you squint hard enough.

Have yourself a meaty little Christmas, or give some lucky burger lover the best stack of birthday presents ever, with Cheeseburger Wrapping Paper. Brought to us by Sarah and Justin of Gift Couture – the set includes one roll of meat, lettuce, tomato, and cheese paper, and two rolls of bun.
Just think about the recipient’s reaction when they start tearing into a giant burger. Then prepare for the look of disappointment, when they realize it contained nothing more than socks and a terrible sweater. Happy Holidays!
