If you need to tie some hair back, and you love burgers, the Cheeseburger Hair Bow is here to help.
Brought to us by Happy Mills Shop, the handmade hair bows are a stylish way to keep some hair organized, while letting everyone know that you love your burgers.
There’s also a Pizza Bow and Ice Cream Sandwich Bow available, if burgers ain’t your thing.
McDonald’s recently unleashed the “Create Your Taste” kiosk, which allows the Mickey D’s customer to get creative and build their own burger. The problem with this concept, besides that the end result is McDonald’s, is that eventually someone is going to take liberties with the service.
The Big Max, brought to us by Moshe Tamssot, is what happens when you push the Create Your Taste kiosk to its limits. With the option to “10x” almost every ingredient, you too can create a foot-high, four-pound monstrosity. Just prepare to have a fast food manager hate you.
Quick stat sheet…
What is it about miniature food, even when it’s not edible, that makes it so fun to look at? When it’s created by master miniaturist, Shay Aaron, it’s even more appealing, and demands to be eaten… even if it’s made from polymer.
Miniature cakes, pizza earrings, and full plates of breakfast are recreated to look just like the real thing. And, if there wasn’t something placed in the photo for scale, you’d think you could actually grab it and eat it. But, please don’t… remember the polymer.
The mini-food is available at Aaron’s Etsy shop in jewelry form and other fun ways to enjoy small food.

Apparently, there’s a little superhero movie coming out that you might’ve heard of. It’s called The Avengers, or something.
To help with some much-needed promotion for the movie, Rosanna Pansino of Nerdie Nummies has created a pizza inspired by one of the movie’s protagonists, Captain America.
The Captain America Pizza is made possible with some well-placed pepperoni, olives, and a cheese star. Made to look like the First Avenger’s trusty shield, the pizza should help thwart the most evil of munchies.
Good luck with your movie, Avengers. We hope it does well.

Grab your two-button controller, oversized cartridges, and enjoy these Nintendo NES Wine Labels. Brought to us by the folks at VinePair, the fictional wines are inspired by vintage Nintendo video games and labeled with old-school 8-bit awesomeness.
From Mario and Luigi Chianti Classico to Mike Tyson Punch Out!! Zinfandel, the wines will make you yearn for the days of blowing into cartridges, and for what once passed for video game graphics. At least you’re old enough to drink now.
