Classic Video Game Action Recreated Using Food and Everyday Items

It’s true, kids… There was a time when U.S. quarters and 8-bits worth of action ruled. Animator, PES, wants to give us the warm nostalgic feeling that only old-school video games can provide.

Game Over is a brilliant stop-motion animation that uses food and everyday items to recreate classic video game action.

The blistering speed and chaos of Centipede is recreated with muffins and cupcakes, while Pac-Man is made from a pizza pie with some slices removed. No wonder the ghosts chase him around. Quarters up!!

This Restaurant Has A Menu Written In Emojis

In the near future, words will have no meaning, replaced with the icons that we know as emojis. Realizing that word-challenged patrons will have a hard time ordering their food, London-based pop-up restaurant, The Little Yellow Door, is testing out a menu consisting of emojis.

Patrons are encouraged to order their meals using icons on WhatsApp. Thankfully, most animal-based proteins are accounted for in our emoji keyboard… although we still lack the ability to order waffles [sad face].

Hopefully, reviews of the restaurant will be nothing but happy faces and thumbs up. Smiling brown piles would be bad.

When it’s time to celebrate a radioactive waste manager’s birthday, a Radioactive Waste Birthday Cake makes perfect sense.

Although, this cake makes it look like the birthday boy may be hiding something, the buried yellow marzipan looks delicious. Not sure we’d light a candle around this thing though.

Apparently, there’s an unfortunate internet obsession with watching pimples being popped. Blessed By Baking wants in on this stomach-churning fad, ironically, by creating delicious cupcakes.

Pimple Cupcakes are made to look like giant skin blemishes that the user cannot help but squeeze. In addition to the odd satisfaction one gets from extracting a pimple, the cupcake-squeezer is also rewarded with delicious custard filling. Bonus!

Would you squeeze and/or eat these?

Line ’em up! Bacon Chocolate Shot Glasses are brought to us by Natasha of Through The Eyes of My Belly.

The most amazing thing about these drinking vessels — besides Natasha hitting the perfect trifecta of bacon, chocolate and booze — is that this is her first blog post.

So, we appear to have some sort of food-blogging prodigy here… I’d follow her and stay tuned. Check out the Shot Glass tutorial here.
