Sure, you know your full and half moons… But can you easily spot a ‘waning gibbous’ or ‘waxing crescent?’ According to Moon Phases Explained With Oreo Cookies, the subtle differences are nothing more than how much cream you remove from the cookie, or something to do with the sun and earth.
Either way, enjoy your cookie-related astronomy lesson of the day.

If you’re going to make an astronomically-correct planet cake, and have already catered to earthlings, a Jupiter Cake makes perfect sense. Brought to us by Cake Crumbs, the edible Jupiter does not only do the largest planet in our solar system justice on the outside — but has an accurate core, representing each of the planet’s gas layers.
What’s next in the planet series? We hope Uranus… We’d love to see Uranus, and wonder what Uranus would taste like. What? What’d I say?
It took over 70 years and billions of customers served globally — but McDonald’s can finally make ads with no copy or logos on it. Referred to as the ‘Unbranded’ campaign, the series of extreme close-ups was created by ad agency TBWA\Paris for use in outdoor ads throughout France.
Well done, McDonald’s and TBWA. You’ve not only successfully executed an unbranded ad campaign, but managed to make McDonald’s food appear somewhat edible. Although, we imagine being that close to the actual product would be quite horrifying.

If you’re the type who expresses themselves best with a keyboard-induced pictorial representation of a facial expression, and you like cups, check out Emoji Paper Cups. The cups will not only let everyone else in viewing distance know how you feel, but they can be altered as your mood changes.
For instance, in the morning, you can show how you feel before your coffee (whatever the emoticon for ‘stabby’ is), and then progress to ‘less stabby.’ Emoji Cups are also great for parties, for when you’d rather not mistakenly drink from your grumpy friend’s cup.
Soda and brisket go together like bacon and anything. And you could buy them packaged separately, but that just sounds like a lot of work.
Fortunately, Texas-based soda company Big Red has at least suggested the idea of housing yummy brisket and refreshing soda together. The result, although fictional and highly dramatized, is thought-provoking and pretty disgusting. Enjoy.
