The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
What if a “jam session” was actually a meeting between several fruit preserves? Or, a carbonated beverage actually had a penchant for making confectionaries?
Artist Keren Rosen gets literal with her adorable illustrations. Dings & Doodles is a series of cartoons that takes several idioms and puns, and displays them literally. Poor banana split.
Rosen’s illustrations are available at her Etsy page here.

Artist Nady Nadhira‘s illustrations are cute enough on their own. However, when the drawings are completed with the appropriate snack or candy, they reach new levels of adorbz.
Biscuits become Pac-man, M&Ms are the balloons that lift the Up house, and Oreos are used for eyes — the art is fun to look at and I want to eat it right now. See more below and over at Instagram.

What better way to advertise food, than to play with it?… artistically of course. That’s what UK agency Side by Side did for this campaign for local supermarket retailer Sainbury’s.
Using the appropriate food, the words are created and styled by hand on the appropriate background. See the process in the video below.

If you need to handle an empire of chocolate chip cookies, the Stormtrooper Oven Mitt is here to help.
Designed to look like the hand of the evil empire’s white-armored soldier, the silicone oven mitt will handle the heat from any cookie tray. Although it’s not safe for direct laser blasts.

Don’t worry, people. It’s almost November 1st… and our national pumpkin spice nightmare will soon be over. Until then, woman will not only be sipping their PSLs, whilst wearing knit sweaters and UGGs, but might also be dyeing their hair appropriately. Ugh, again.
Dyeing hair “Pumpkin Spice” is now a thing, and is offered by salons such as Kennaland Salon in Brooklyn, New York. And, before you express your obvious concerns that this is simply, “going redhead,” colorist Laura Estroff explains, “pumpkin spice hair has more copper undertones whereas gingersnap tends to fall under the category of brunette with red undertones.”
Wait a minute… Gingersnap hair is a thing too? Ugh, again.
