On this episode of ‘food that looks like other stuff,’ there’s the Honey Bun That Looks Like E.T.
Naturally, when a sweet pastry resembles a lovable movie alien, a Photoshop battle is inevitable. Hopefully, those guys in the hazmat suits don’t show up.

Lexus, looking for a great marketing tool to help sell cars, has turned to a hot sauce that doesn’t advertise. The Sriracha IS is the hot sauce-inspired automobile that we deserve.
Nearly every inch of the Lexus sports sedan reminds you of the already ubiquitous chili sauce. Included in the hot-sauce package is a sriracha-red paint job, cap green-accented grill, rooster badges and controls that will shift you into sriracha mode. It even includes a trunk-full of the sauce, just in case the car wasn’t already srirachy enough.
Can you buy this car? Well, sadly, no. However, you can stop and drool at it, at the Los Angeles Auto Show from Nov. 18–27.
The Brits take their tea time pretty seriously. Falling hundreds of feet with a rubber band attached to your ankles… also serious.
Bungee/biscuit-lover, Simon Berry, is very serious and very British. Berry not only plummeted 230-ft, but he then set the Guinness World Record by dipping his biscuit in tea at the bottom. Watch the greatest tea-time ever below.

If you were to pass by these tables of food at the wrong angle, it would appear to be nothing more than a really awesome buffet. However, as a wise jedi master once said, “Many of the truths that we cling to depend on our point of view.”
Viewed at the correct angle, the buffet turns into Yoda. Referred to as an anamorphosis, the piece is brought to us by food artist Jolita Vaitkute and photographer Paulius Zaborskis. See more pictures below you will.

The image of a swan floating around a lake is so aesthetically-pleasing. Warm soup is like giving your innards a big hug. SWANKY, the floating ladle, is here to combine swans and soup to help give us sensory overload.
The kitchen accessory is not only designed to look like a majestic swan, but it floats upright atop your stewing liquid of choice, until you’re ready to scoop and pour.
The SWANKY is brought to us by OTOTO, and is currently in Kickstarter phase. Available in white, black or pink — you can find more information on how to get your own here.
