Note… Ice cubes made with water are stupid. Oreo Milk and Cookie Cubes, part of Oreo’s Snack Hacks series, are the future.
Simply take an ice tray, fill it with milk instead of water [remember, water is stupid] then crumble up some Oreos, and freeze. The cookie cubes go perfectly with iced coffee or a tall glass of milk with Oreos crumbled in it. Even better if they’re brain-shaped, or if you make some milk and cookie smiley faces.

When some of our favorite television shows weren’t taking place at the main character’s home, high school, or other random set — scenes would often unfold at their favorite eating establishment. Whether the actors are sitting comfortably in their favorite booth, or actually work there, the restaurant setting gives the viewer a feeling of comfort — as if we’re actually sitting with, or being waited on by members of the cast.
So that brings us to the greatest of these fictional eateries. And, although they mostly exist in the alternate reality of television, it begs the question of whether we would frequent them if they were real. Also worth noting, is that if we pretend for a second that these diners did exist, then Yelp — which is unfortunately real — would certainly have something to say about them. Enjoy.
Another year, another 365 days of the greatest food culture ever.* Besides a great year for our blog, the Foodiggity Shop saw some respectable growth — with traffic up around 75% from last year, going worldwide with the addition of international shipping, and the addition of a few new products to the lineup. So, thank you to all of our loyal fans and customers.
Without further ado, the reason why we’re here… Foodiggity’s Best of the Year. This time, divided into two categories — trends from the past year, and the obligatory “Best of,” with a clear standout for our most popular and successful post and product of the year. Please enjoy, and Happy New Year.

Thanks for listening, everyone. We’ll try to do better next year.
*perhaps.
Sometimes we need a dose of reality or inspirational message to go with our tea. Cynical Tea Bags will start your day off with a convenient reminder to be a better parent, to get along with co-workers, or provide some Instant Karma. Each variety has a distinct and hopefully life-altering flavor profile.
Or, you could switch to coffee and never have to worry — coffee drinkers are wonderful people.

Seinfeld, the “show about nothing,” was often set at our main characters’ favorite coffee shop, or contained storylines such as losing Junior Mints in people.
Seinfood is a series of posters created by artist Rinee Shah, that celebrates some of the most well-known foods and food-centric storylines from the series. The illustrations include Monk’s Cafe, the infamous marble rye, and the not horse-friendly Beef-A-Reeno. Check out the full poster series here, and you’ll be inspired to grab a few Seinfeld DVDs, or catch up with the epic sitcom in syndication.
