The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
French artist Vivi Mac spills drinks and food on purpose to create portraits of famous figures. The series, officially-titled Art Ephemere, includes The Mona Lisa in barbecue sauce, and a Chocolate Milk Gandhi that are near flawless — albeit messy. And, don’t cry, but there’s a Bruce Lee in spilled milk.
See a lot more food art from Vivi Mac at her Facebook page.
No longer will you need to suffer with boring two-dimensional space cookies. 3D Spaceship Cookie Cutters, brought to us by Suck UK, will help create cookies that NASA would be proud of.
So whip up a batch and a pitcher of Tang, and let’s get this space cookie party started. Available in Rocket, Shuttle, Star Fighter, and Space Buggy.
And if you’re more Jurassic Park than 2001: A Space Odyssey, there’s 3D Dinosaur Cookie Cutters too.
Do not adjust your screens… Something called the Black Terra is an entirely black hot dog. Served at Vegas Premium Hot Dogs in Tokyo, the Terra’s shade of black is made possible by using an edible bamboo charcoal powder.
Now, we’re going to go ahead and end this post before I say something that’ll get us in trouble. Thanks for stopping by.

Fed up with the self-taken pictures and “look at me” mentality of some social media users, artist Mike Mellia has responded with a fun series of guerilla art, and his own version of the dreaded “selfie.”
In his series, Self-Absorbed, Mellia uses pictures of himself to rebrand and repackage some well-known products — then places them in supermarkets, bodegas and people’s homes around New York to act his own “status update.”
“With our self-portraits shared through social media, everyone now creates their own ‘brand’,” he said. “This product placement project reimagines some of the most famous branding icons in American advertising.”
