What Your Plate of Food Says About You

Thanksgiving is coming, which means that it’s time to silently judge friends and relatives at the dinner table. Behavioral food scientist, Juliet Boghossian, and Cosmo have provided a fun little way to gauge your table-mate’s personality by how they plate their food.

Do they give equal space to each food item? Then that person is a disciplined pre-planner who doesn’t take on more than they can handle. Piling all of the food into a bowl, is the work of a tireless creative seeking to be unique.

How do you plate? Just, so we can judge.

This Artist Turns Starbucks Cups Into Works of Art

With all of the controversy surrounding Starbucks’ red holiday cups, it’s good to see someone having some harmless fun with a cardboard drinking vessel.

Twenty-year-old artist, Carrah Aldridge, takes the mermaid-adorned cups and vastly improves them with original art. The cup designs are created with Sharpies markers, a white gel pen and copic markers.

Just don’t color any of them red, Carrah… we don’t want any trouble.

Celebrities As Cute Food Puns

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.

Snacks and Candy Used To Complete Illustrations

Artist Nady Nadhira‘s illustrations are cute enough on their own. However, when the drawings are completed with the appropriate snack or candy, they reach new levels of adorbz.

Biscuits become Pac-man, M&Ms are the balloons that lift the Up house, and Oreos are used for eyes — the art is fun to look at and I want to eat it right now. See more below and over at Instagram.
