The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
What is it about anthropomorphic food that’s so adorable? Artist Fran Solo knows how to bring the adorbz, with a video series of food with faces, just asking to be consumed.
Watch adorable fruits, sweets and Jell-O looking all cute, until they’re used for their intended purpose… to get in our belly. Please watch the videos below and more from Solo on Instagram.
If you’ve ever wondered how food and everyday objects feel about being squeezed, sliced, or performing their own mundane tasks — then look no further than these animations by Sean Charmatz.
The Secret World of Stuff is a series of objects in action and, by adding a face and simple animation, they come to life and emote. Sometimes the result is good (smiley face) and sometimes the anthropomorphic objects are ingested or destroyed (sad face, or no face at all). Check them out below.

To help promote the new R-rated animated film, Sausage Party, creator Seth Rogen placed talking food throughout a supermarket in New York City.
Unsuspecting shoppers are surprised when cantaloupes, loaves of bread and deli meats come alive to question the people’s food choices. The intent, besides to help promote a movie filled with anthropomorphic foods, is to make people feel a little guilty about eating them.
Watch as some shoppers recoil in horror, as some taunt the talking food by eating their unanimated brethren. Please watch.

We’ve certainly had our fill of anthropomorphic food and animated movies. However, we’ve never seen CG foods with foul mouths starring in a veritable horror film.
Sausage Party is the adult animated movie we didn’t know we needed. Its protagonist is a sentient hot dog voiced by Seth Rogen who, along with other foods, quickly discover their post-supermarket fate.
Animated horror and excessive cursing ensues. See the red band trailer below (NSFW).

Food, Object or Animal is a fun and pun-fueled series by illustrator Jaco Haasbroek. Combining a few of Foodiggity’s favorite things — minimalism, anthropomorphic food, and puns — Haasbroek uses acrylic and ink on paper, and let’s the fun wordplay fly.
