This Valentine’s Day, Say It With A Food Card

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, aka, the one day out of the year when you’re allowed to express yourself with chocolate foodstuffs and paper products.

But beware… Valentine’s Day is also the one day that your emotional vacancy will be fully exposed for your lover to see… so it’s best not to blow it. And, what better way to let your partner know how you feel, than with tacky wordplay placed on a piece of folded card-stock?

Here are a few ideas for those who would rather have a card do the talking for them… or, if your lover is just really into clever wordplay and foodstuffs. In which case, congrats.

You’re My Everything

If you’re a person of few words, then ‘You’re My Everything‘ will go a long way on Valentine’s Day. Take this very brief sentiment even further with the addition of an actual everything bagel. But only include lox and cream cheese if they’re marriage material. [link]

You’re The Chicky Chicky To My Parm Parm

Whether or not you’re a fan of Parks and Recreation and the musings of Tom Haverford, you cannot deny the effectiveness of this nonsensical statement. And, as we all know, few things go together better than battered chicken breast and melted cheese.

Of course, this card would be even more effective if accompanied by an actual chicken parm sandwich, or some ‘chicken catch’ and ‘super water.’ Thanks, Tom. [link]

You’re The Center Of My Cinnamon Roll

Cinnamon rolls are sexy… we know this to be true. So, telling someone that they’re the center of your cinnamon roll is sexxxy. See, I just put more Xs in sexy to convey, oh, never mind. [link]

I Love You Like I Love French Fries

If you’ve been trying to answer the incalculable question of “How much do you love me?” then we think this card could help. And, if your valentine this year is a keeper, you can tell them that you love them like fries with cheese and gravy. That’s commitment. [link]

I Love You More Than Sriracha

We know how you feel… you simply cannot place food in your mouth unless there’s sriracha on it. Your partner knows this… so telling them that you love them more than the greatest condiment in recorded history, will surely score you some points this year. [link]

You’re The Only Wiener For My Bun

Although this card could be considered a bit suggestive, or taken the wrong way, it is undeniably adorable. And, if it does get taken the wrong way, you can both go out for hot dogs and talk about it, because you’re a classy couple. [link]

You Are Greater Than A Cupcake

Ah, the good ol’ “you are greater than [insert awesome food item]” approach. We’ve seen this work for bacon... So, why not give it a shot with the trendiest of all food items?

Just make sure that your valentine knows ‘greater than/less than,’ or this card makes it look like you’re either calling them a cupcake, or asking them to get you a cupcake. Any of which is actually pretty good. [link]

S’mores Oreos May Or May Not Exist

There was a time when Nabisco would tease us with an Oreo variety that was almost too good for us unworthy plebes — only to have that mystical sandwich cookie become a reality.

Lucky for us, S’mores Oreos is skipping the rumors and hearsay, and will get right down to filling our cookie aisles with awesomeness.

No mention of an actual drop date, but the news comes via a leaked photo from an employee of Mondelez International Inc., the company that produces Oreos. So, now we wait.

6 Reasons Why World Nutella Day Exists

Good morning and Happy World Nutella Day… the day that we get to celebrate what could be the greatest food item in recorded history.

Here at Foodiggity, we present a few examples of why people lose their minds over the chocolate and hazelnut foodstuff, and how Nutella inspires us to do great things.

So, enjoy your Nutella Day. We hope it is spent with good people and large brown jars.

Nutellasagna

Late last year, the world was made just a little bit better with the introduction of Nutellasagna. Brought to us by Robicelli’s in Bay Ridge, NYC — Nutellasagna is a dessert lasagna containing Nutella and other ingredients we don’t care about right now… this is Nutella’s Day.

Brownie Waffles Topped With Nutella and Bacon

The only thing that can upstage bacon and brownies, is oozing Nutella. Exhibit A… Brownie Waffles Topped With Nutella and Bacon. Make some of your own, and create the most important meal of any day ever.

Weed-Infused Nutella

Not since Goober Grape, has two things coexisted in one jar so miraculously. Nugtella, a weed-infused Nutella, was created by Organicares, a medical marijuana dispensary in San Jose, CA — i.e., the most considerate place that ever existed.

Personalized Nutella

Nutella theft is real, people. So how do you stake claim to a jar that you’d like all to yourself, without a passive aggressive note stapled to it? Personalize your Nutella jar with your name, that’s how.

Cosmic Nutella

We’re not sure why this animated GIF exists… but it does beg a few important questions. Are we alone in the universe? If there is life out there, do you think they’d like Nutella? Can I have some Cosmic Nutella? We need answers.

A Guy Eats An Entire Jar of Nutella

As mentioned, Nutella does inspire mere mortals to do great things. This, however, is probably not one of those things. Watch as competitive eater and Nutella-enthusiast, Furious Pete, consumes an entire jar of Nutella in one sitting.

Happy Nutella Day, everyone!!

A Portrait Created With 20,000 Steeped Tea Bags

Whether it’s with coffee, chopsticks, or lunch… artist Red Hong Yi is very good at creating art with whatever’s available. This time, the Malaysian artist wanted to create a large-scale piece that would pay tribute to her homeland and the process of making the Malaysian sweet tea, Teh Tarik.

This time, Red’s medium of choice was about 20,000 tea bags, steeped to create varying shades of color and tone. The used tea bags were then placed together into panels, and then hung to form the picture of a vendor pulling tea.

Be sure to check out the video below too… Red’s creative process is pure awesome. Her tea-pouring skills… not so much.
