Can’t decide whether to have a nice well-rounded breakfast, or to get drunk early? Can’t we do both?
Funky Buddha Brewery thinks so, and has created Maple Bacon Coffee Beer. It’s breakfast… It’s a way to get your drunk on… It’s everything that we’ve ever wanted in a beverage. Thank you, Funky Buddha, thank you.
When it comes to eating that burger… You’re doing it all wrong. At least that’s what a few Japanese scientists would have you believe.
In news that should surprise no one who’s been keeping track on Japan — TV show Honma Dekka!? actually enlisted scientists for a four month study on how to properly hold a hamburger. The results… The Japanese eggheads have determined that a good grip with even finger distribution is the way to go.
The reason this consistent grip so important, is that it keeps your burger’s contents from sliding out of the bun. Apparently patties are heavily-lubed in Japan, but far be it from us to argue with science.

We’ve certainly seen our share of coffee cup art. But what about those cardboard sleeves that keep you from burning your hand on your mocha-choca two-pump half-caf latte?
Corporate banker and coffee sleeve artist Ahmed Al Emairi tries to improve upon the under-appreciated insulator with his Instagram project, Starbucksism. Ahmed uses the iconic Starbucks mermaid to recreate illustrations of pop culture icons, from Darth Vader and Jack Sparrow, to Michael Jackson and Steve Jobs.
