Bringing together meat and dairy in a way that no one ever intended, is Philadelphia Cheesesteak Ice Cream. Brought to us by Andy Deemer of AsiaObscura, the “fast food horror filmmaker” takes Philadelphia’s culinary claim-to-fame, and creates one of the more horrifying merges of entree and dessert that we’ve seen in a while.
If you’re feeling adventurous, Andy shares the full recipe here. Let us know how it goes.

For the cupcake and poncho lover with a complete lack of self-awareness, The Cupcake Booty Buddy is here to help. Made to look like a giant cupcake, the confectionery-inspired muumuu will keep you warm and snug — presumably while you eat cupcakes.
For the full effect, and to scare away any remaining loved ones, you can put on the cherry topping hood. Now that’s the icing on the crazy cake.

Here we go again, with a new “the world’s most expensive something” to get the blood boiling. This time we present The Golden Phoenix, which is being called, “The World’s Most Expensive Edible Cupcake.” Created by Shafeena Yusuff Ali, CEO of couture bakery Bloomsbury’s in The Dubai Mall — the mixture of milk, eggs, sugar, and gold dust will set you back $27,000. We assume the plate is included.
Now, I could bore you with a list of ingredients. But, when the end result is the gaudy over-the-top mess that you see above, does it really matter? However, for the one-percenters in our audience [I assume there are many], please give Bloomsbury’s 48-hours notice to prepare your cupcake, and please eat it within 15 minutes, or the chocolate will melt. Enjoy.

As we await confirmation on exactly what’s going on here, we’ll tell you what we know so far. KFC Philippines has unveiled something called the Cheese Top Burger. And, besides the uninspired name, someone over at KFC apparently couldn’t be bothered to open the bun before melting the cheese.
OK, this just in… The cheese is melted on top of the burger on purpose. And, the “burger” is actually a chicken patty with garlic Parmesan dressing — again, cheese on the outside.
I’m glad we cleared this up, because KFC was looking really silly there for a second.
As if bacon or turkey soda wasn’t horrifying enough, Lester’s Fixins is back at it with Buffalo Wing Soda. Have the complete experience by lining the rim of your glass with blue cheese, and garnish with a celery stick.

If you happen to be traveling in Virgin Atlantic’s upper class suite [and who isn't?] then you get to enjoy Richard Branson Ice Cubes with your beverage. The ice cubes were created so that the airline’s owner could “join you in spirit,” and smile at you smugly from your gin and tonic. But wouldn’t these make more sense in coach? You know, just to rub it in.
Or, for a less douchey smile, you could try these.
