‘Lunchbox’ is a painting series created by San Francisco/New York based artist, Dan Kenneally. They are abstract sandwich paintings that use a single colored stripe to represent each ingredient. All are 18″x18″ acrylic and available for sale at Etsy.

Betacup—a project founded in 2009—hopes to find a solution to the 58 billion non-recyclable coffee cups that get thrown away every year. Since Starbucks probably accounts for 57 billion of those—they are sponsoring Betacup’s contest to redesign the coffee cup.

Before the days of ‘Cold Activated Cans‘ and other packaging gimmicks that Coors Light has used to market their beer-flavored seltzer—there were these vintage beauties. Some even sporting the old-school spout top to make them look even more like an oil can.
Uncle O’Grimacey was the Irish uncle of our favorite velvet McDonald’s mascot, Grimace. He had been responsible for bringing McDonald’s Shamrock Shakes over from Ireland every March.

Although, the frozen green treat is back on its annual schedule, Uncle O’Grimacey is nowhere to be found. Just like Uncle Ned, who no longer sends you a birthday card.
Just when you thought sushi culture hadn’t been bastardized enough—enter the Sushi Popper.
