These Diet Biscuits aren’t low-cal, or low-fat — but are instead, highly-discouraging. Created by Rome-based Fonderia collective, the biscuit’s intent is to make you feel bad about eating them, and encourage you to stick to your diet. Or, you can just eat those chocolate chip cookies you have in the cupboard — they’ve been nothing but nice.

Although here at Foodiggity, we do not condone giving a child alcohol — unless it’s absolutely necessary – Pop Bottles is a series of kid-inspired booze by Italian designer Anna Utopia Giordano. And before parents start getting all riled up, this is merely an art project to raise social awareness on the topic of alcohol abuse by teens, pregnant women, and parents.
Or, it could be a commentary on how kids drive us to drink — but the artists explanation sounds better. See more here.

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.
The problem with ordinary picnic tables — they’re actually the opposite of having a picnic. But the grass-covered picNYC Table, by Haiko Cornelissen, will get you as close to nature as possible — since you’d usually put something between your food and the ground at a real picnic.

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!
