The Fifty United Plates, Porcelain Trays In The Shape of Every US State

thumbnail

We’ve seen skillets and cutting boards in the shape of every US State. Now, you can show your patriotism at the table with The Fifty United Plates. Brought to us by ceramic artists Ryan and Kaitlyn Lawless of Corbé company, the project is currently in a Kickstarter phase that has already reached their target.

So expect to see the state plates available soon. You can start making Oregon-shaped pies and California casseroles. Get Rhode Island if you need to hold a few grains of rice or a small blueberry.

Grumpy Cat Is Getting Its Own Brand of Bottled Coffee Drink

Grumpy Cat, the sour-puss that spawned one of the most powerful memes in recent memory, is getting a bottled coffee drink of her own.

Appropriately-titled Grumpy Cat Grumppuccino, the drink will be available in three flavors, but no release date has been announced. I once had a drink that made me feel focused and alert… Hated it.

The Greatest Sharknado Cake That You’ll See Today

Screen-Shot-2013-07-27-at-4.21.44-PM

In case you hadn’t heard… There was a B C D-movie on Syfy Channel a few weeks ago called Sharknado, and it took the world of social media by storm… A low budget, cringe-inducing CGI storm. So naturally, the Sharknado Cake happened.

Brought to us by Charm City Cakes, the Sharknado Cake includes a menacing shark and a shiny tornado. There’s no mention if the shark on the cake is the one that actually birthed Ian Ziering, but pretty cool nonetheless.

How To Change Your Mundane Life With Bacon

life-changing-bacon

We all know the magical mind-altering effects of bacon. What we only sorta knew, until confirmed by this series of commercials for Maple Leaf Foods’ Ready Crisp Bacon, is that men will happily do chores around the house if mom makes them bacon. Even the pre-made stuff.

There’s even a fun chore list, just in case you need anything done by a mindless pork slave. Please enjoy…
