KFC Created A Tray Keyboard So You Won’t Have To Touch Your Phone With Greasy Fingers

We’ve all been there… You need to send a very important text or email, and your fingers are covered in chicken grease. KFC knows that the struggle is real, and has created the Tray Typer — a disposable keyboard to use while you finish off your chicken bucket.

Available at a few locations of KFC Germany, the Bluetooth-enabled keyboard fits right into your tray, and will sync to your phone.

No longer will those important texts, tweets or emails go unsent, just because your hands are compromised. You know the ones… “At KFC, hanging with the Colonel, LOL!!” or “🍗🍗🍗🍗, LMAO!!”

Tortoises Eating Tiny Pancakes

Pancakes should be available to all walks of life… regardless of how slow-moving they are. BuzzFeedBlue agrees, and recently whipped up a short stack for a few sulcata tortoises.

The result is absolute adorableness, and is even a bit hypnotizing to watch. Accept for the tortoise who doesn’t partake in the pancakes. He must’ve went looking for the tiny butter and syrup. Please watch this…

Honest Food Pyramids For Adults

The Food Pyramid was created for a reason. And, that reason is to make you feel bad about your food choices. Thankfully, Someecards got real, and created Brutally Honest Food Pyramids For Every Stage of Adulthood.

So, in case you just can’t squeeze in your 2-3 servings of dairy, or 3-5 of veggies, just be honest with yourself and follow these.

Artist Creates Plaster Versions of Everything He’s Eaten Over The Past Year

What appears to be nothing more than an exercise in minimalist food art, is actually a pretty intense project by Israeli-Dutch artist Itamar Gilboa.

The Food Chain Project is a pop-up art installation, that is not only an extensive collection of food and drinks sculpted in plaster, but is representative of everything the artist had consumed over a period of 365 days.

Over 8,000 items are represented in stark white, and is meant to call attention to global food issues. All of the food items are on sale, with proceeds donated to organizations such as FairFood International and Youth Food Movement.
