Unicorns had a good run as the most majestic of horned animals. It is now the age of the Caticorn, and, they’ve got the cereal to prove it.
Caticorn Cereal is brought to us by Kellogg’s and it appears to be as wonderful as it sounds. The berry-flavored O’s are pink, berry-flavored, and covered in glitter. Is the glitter really edible? Are Caticorns real? Are unicorns going to be upset over this? And, most importantly, where is Caticorn Cereal available?
Well, we have the answer to two of those questions. Yes and Sam’s Club. We’ll let you decide which is which.

There’s an old joke about being on a seafood diet. Well, here’s a… wait for it…. sewfood diet. I’ll see myself out.
Artist Kate Jenkins makes elaborate and adorably-detailed crocheted art. Her collection includes a series of seafood, anthropomorphic french fries and many others. See more of Kate’s work below and over at Instagram.

Heinz Ketchup, already the caviar of condiments, has gotten even fancier. Heinz Ketchup Caviar is now a thing, and looks to add some much-needed class to a burger or hot dog of your choosing.
The high-brow tomato spread is available in very limited quantities, with only 150 jars being produced. The way to get your hands on some ketchup caviar is on Twitter… reply to the tweet below with #HeinzKetchupCaviar and #Sweeps.

Just when you thought it was safe to enjoy a non-Peep fueled morning — Peeps Cereal has been unleashed.
The painfully unnecessary cereal borrows the colors and flavors of the squishy treats, but there isn’t a cute bunny or chick anywhere to be found. Someone at Kellogg’s must’ve forgotten that the only reason folks eat Peeps is for their squishiness, rough sugar armor, and how Peeps stare at us lovingly before we bite their heads off.
Either way, the Peeps Cereal does come with marshmallows — so they’re like Froot Loops crossed with Lucky Charms crossed with a cereal company that hates you. Enjoy.
