The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
In case you hadn’t already heard the good news around the water cooler, The Foodnited States has its own blog now.
Brought to you by the same numbskull from Foodiggity.com, the new blog will be chock-full of fun lists, infographics to argue over, and dumb U.S. State food laws. Stop by and let us know how we’re doing. You can also add The Foodnited States to your RSS feed, so you don’t miss a thing.
If celebrities and the questionably famous were made from food, they’d probably need to be renamed appropriately. Artist Justine Morrison knows this, and has created this fun illustration series of celebrity food puns.
For example, if Brad Pitt was made from baked dough, he’d be Bread Pitt. And, who wouldn’t want to hang with the Wonton Clan. See more below and over at Instagram.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, aka, the one day out of the year when you’re allowed to express yourself with chocolate foodstuffs and paper products.
But beware… Valentine’s Day is also the one day that your emotional vacancy will be fully exposed for your lover to see… so it’s best not to blow it. And, what better way to let your partner know how you feel, than with tacky wordplay placed on a piece of folded card-stock?
Here are a few ideas for those who would rather have a card do the talking for them… or, if your lover is just really into clever wordplay and foodstuffs. In which case, congrats.
If you’re a person of few words, then ‘You’re My Everything‘ will go a long way on Valentine’s Day. Take this very brief sentiment even further with the addition of an actual everything bagel. But only include lox and cream cheese if they’re marriage material. [link]
Whether or not you’re a fan of Parks and Recreation and the musings of Tom Haverford, you cannot deny the effectiveness of this nonsensical statement. And, as we all know, few things go together better than battered chicken breast and melted cheese.
Of course, this card would be even more effective if accompanied by an actual chicken parm sandwich, or some ‘chicken catch’ and ‘super water.’ Thanks, Tom. [link]
Cinnamon rolls are sexy… we know this to be true. So, telling someone that they’re the center of your cinnamon roll is sexxxy. See, I just put more Xs in sexy to convey, oh, never mind. [link]
If you’ve been trying to answer the incalculable question of “How much do you love me?” then we think this card could help. And, if your valentine this year is a keeper, you can tell them that you love them like fries with cheese and gravy. That’s commitment. [link]
We know how you feel… you simply cannot place food in your mouth unless there’s sriracha on it. Your partner knows this… so telling them that you love them more than the greatest condiment in recorded history, will surely score you some points this year. [link]
Although this card could be considered a bit suggestive, or taken the wrong way, it is undeniably adorable. And, if it does get taken the wrong way, you can both go out for hot dogs and talk about it, because you’re a classy couple. [link]
Ah, the good ol’ “you are greater than [insert awesome food item]” approach. We’ve seen this work for bacon... So, why not give it a shot with the trendiest of all food items?
Just make sure that your valentine knows ‘greater than/less than,’ or this card makes it look like you’re either calling them a cupcake, or asking them to get you a cupcake. Any of which is actually pretty good. [link]
If you have a BFF that you’d like to communicate with daily, and texting or an old-fashioned phone call won’t do, you might consider saying it with photographs and food puns.
That’s exactly what BuzzFeed writer Adam Ellis and his best friend Kristin have in mind with Words With BFFs. The Instagram project documents the best friends’ daily exchanges, via a food scene with appropriate food pun. See the painfully adorable relationship play out here.
Brought to us by artist Sarah DeRemer, Animal Food turns a few already delicious animals into animal/food hybrids with wonderfully punny names.
Hippotato, Limon, and the Cardinato are just a few of the animal foods that we’d like to spot in the wild and in the supermarket.
And, not to put any pressure on the food scientists out there… But, how far away are we from making an actual orange chicken? Let’s get on this.
