Since the advent of Ziplocs — especially the ones with the yellow and blue that turn green — sandwich bag twist ties have become pretty useless. However, deviantart member, justjake54, recently found a new use for twist ties — using them to create a series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Remember those inspirational notes that Mom used to include in your lunchbox? Oh good, me neither. But a few kids named Archer and Ansel will surely remember theirs — because their notes are hand-drawn on napkins by their artist Mom, Nina Levy.
The best part… Nina takes requests. So, anything that the kids could dream up in their little heads, would appear in their lunchbox. Robin sitting on a Komodo dragon? Done. A Tyrannosaurus Rex and Tree Rex from Skylanders? No problem.
Check out more from the Daily Napkins project, which includes around 2,000 napkins over the past six years.

Move over, Letterman, Leno, and whoever else no one stays up late enough to watch — because Cap’n Crunch is getting his own late night talk show… Seriously. The Cap’n Crunch Show is the next step in the Cap’n's comeback, after a recent revival of the brand, thanks in large part to some successful social media marketing. The decision to launch a Cap’n Crunch cereal that’s all Crunch Berries probably didn’t hurt either.
The Cap’n Crunch Show will run on its very own YouTube channel every other Tuesday at 11:35pm, beginning May 7th. Guests are expected to be some heavy hitters from the breakfast and kiddie cereal industry. Hopefully, we get a rare appearance from Fruit Brute, or some of the other cereal monsters. We hear they’re a tough interview.

When some of our favorite television shows weren’t taking place at the main character’s home, high school, or other random set — scenes would often unfold at their favorite eating establishment. Whether the actors are sitting comfortably in their favorite booth, or actually work there, the restaurant setting gives the viewer a feeling of comfort — as if we’re actually sitting with, or being waited on by members of the cast.
So that brings us to the greatest of these fictional eateries. And, although they mostly exist in the alternate reality of television, it begs the question of whether we would frequent them if they were real. Also worth noting, is that if we pretend for a second that these diners did exist, then Yelp — which is unfortunately real — would certainly have something to say about them. Enjoy.
If you like your drink cool and a little morbid, The Walking Dead Ice Cube Tray is here to help. Made from food-safe silicone, the body parts would be a fun addition to your iced tea, lemonade, or Zombie [sorry, had to happen].
And, you could make sure that your zombie ice has a decent food supply with Ice Brains. Excuse me… Ice Braaaaiiinnns.
