Because, where else would a Pecan Pie Vending Machine be? The dessert dispenser is located in front of Berdoll Pecan Candy & Gift Co. in Cedar Creek, Texas.
So, if you’re driving down Highway 71 from Austin, don’t worry about missing the turn-off… The giant squirrel holding a pecan will let you know that you’re heading in the right direction.
The machine is available 24 hours a day and is stocked with pecan pies and pecan-related goodies first thing every morning.

Cactus appear to be relatively useless. Besides making deserts look even more deserty, they’re usually nothing more than a house plant for lazy people.
Then, there’s the Sonora by DOIY Design. The ceramic appliance not only looks good, but it’ll get you that freshly-squeezed juice that you’re always promising yourself and never actually drink. At least you tried, cactus.

Someone who enjoys the mix of salty and sweet has taken the concept a bit too far. Behold, the Cotton Candy Hot Dog.
The culinary curiosity is brought to us by the Erie Seawolves, the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. The plain hot dog, which appears to have done nothing to deserve this, is wrapped around a cotton candy ‘bun.” And, if that wasn’t enough, the only condiment allowed on the already sickly-sweet dog, are Nerds candies.
The Cotton Candy Dog was part of the Erie Seawolves “Sugar Rush Night.” We’d say they succeeded.

Just when you thought that recent Starbucks‘ specialty drinks have been the pits, they went ahead and created a drink… Erh, with a pit in it?
The Starbucks Avocado Blended is the frappuccino that avocado-enthusiasts didn’t know they needed. Made to look like the halved fruit, the pit is made possible with a chocolate sphere. Finally, an avocado pit that’s of use and easily-removed.
Currently, the Avocado Blended is available at Starbucks in South Korea. Although, we can’t imagine these won’t soon wind up in parts of Brooklyn being spread on toast.

Dr. Pepper, already rumored to contain unicorn tears, has all but confirmed this with Unicorn Dr. Pepper.
The labels are part of the doctor’s “Pick Your Pepper” campaign, where you can find a unique label to fit your personality. Although each bottle contains the same wonderful Dr. Pepper, the unicorn label will always be the most appropriate. You know, because of the tears.
