The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
This line of Superman Cereals is a concept by artist Phil Postma. So, unfortunately your local cereal aisle won’t actually be lined with Sugar Justice or Mxyzptlk Alpha-Bits. What, no Bizarre O’s either? [shaking fist at computer screen] Darn you, Phil Postma!!! Why must you toy with us!!

A few artists, including Alexander Barrett, were asked to participate in Oreo’s Super Bowl Instagram Experience… Challenge accepted. For three days Barrett and others used the cookies and cream to create sculptures from pictures sent to them by fans. The results are pretty awesome and dunk-worthy.

To receive the Grand or second place prize, you must have a shipping address within the US. We may or may not actually throw darts at the screen.
It all started as an alternative to the average food blog. Now, 2000 posts and almost four years later, Foodiggity has seen quite a few changes, and we’d like to think that we’ve learned a few things.
So today, Foodiggity is using its 2000th post to take a look back at a few of our highlights, lowlights, and some of the things we’ve learned along the way. And, be sure to help continue our 2000th post celebration by joining our 2K Giveaway. Thanks.

As seen in this video by Nicolas Husard, French cooks appear to be an easily-startled bunch. In it, a poor Frenchman is repeatedly scared by the cameraman, eliciting an identical reaction, each one funnier than the other.
Please watch this, if you can handle the vertical frame…
