The art of banana tattooing is nothing new. But we may have just found the master of banana-bruising, in artist End Cape.
As a reminder, the art is created by sticking a pin into the banana’s flesh, that results in the color change. Cape’s banana pointillism is extremely time-consuming, with one piece sometimes taking more than five hours. We just hope that his family enjoys banana bread.

So, according to this map, the entire world isn’t hip to caramel frappuccinos and mocha-choca half-caf lattes? Brought to us by Barcelona-based design studio Hey Studio, the interactive coffee map displays vastly different coffee cultures from around the world. No fraps to be found anywhere.
Learn more about the different types of coffee, and some of the preferred vessels for brewing — no whipped. Get learnin’ here.
Don’t have time to do your chopping and dicing at home? No worries… On the days that you need to brown bag-it, there’s the Sandwich on Board Box.
The aluminum lunch box comes equipped with a bamboo cutting board — which also acts as the box’s lid until you’re ready to chop up lunch, or if you just need to trim the crusts off your PB&J.
Growing up, we’re fed all kinds of lies… Santa, the Tooth Fairy, the boogey man that’s not under the bed [we know he’s there]. But there are few lies our parents told us that are more egregious, than how carrots will help improve our eyesight. A little known fact is that this myth was the result of some innocent war propaganda.
Photographer Henry Hargreaves, always up for a good time with food, created the Carrot Eye Chart. Stand back, start with the big carrot ‘E’ and check your eyesight. I got as far as the line of greek characters and a question mark. Shoulda ate my carrots.

To help promote IDEO’s WebDev101 sessions, Digital Chops, and to further prove that there’s nothing that meat can’t do — industrial designer Ivy Hu laser-etched type right on a raw chop. The printed meat eventually became the poster for the event.
So, is meat-printing a viable new medium? Will it be used to print nutritional information right on the product, or used for advertisements? Or, will we just use the technology to send condescending messages to vegetarians?
