Taking a short break from their stunt-casting of new flavors, Oreo will unleash a much thinner version of their signature cookie.
Oreo Thins, surely designed to make larger Oreos feel bad about themselves, appear to be borrowing from an Apple playbook. The new cookies are minimized, thinner, faster, and better than your feeble Android cookies.
The thin Oreos are catered to adults, who may not be looking to separate and dunk their Oreos. So, basically, for people who are doing it wrong. Anyways, Oreo Thins will be available in golden, original, and mint flavors starting July 13th.
If you’ve ever wondered what a beer made by Nike, Apple, or Facebook would look like… wonder no more.
Beer-tualising is a fun project by printsome, who created fictional beer labels for a few brands not known for brewing.
What these corporate beers would taste like is still left to the imagination. But we can only assume that Nike beer would share flavor profiles with most energy drinks, while iBeer would taste great for a few months, before you’d have to upgrade to iBeer 1.1.

If you’re in London, and can look away from your iPhone for a bit, there’s currently an apple store with actual apples on display.
The Real Apple Store, inspired by that fake one with all the phones and phablets in it, was created to help celebrate the 1000th anniversary of London’s historic Borough Market and Apple Day.
Visitors can expect to see 1,000 varieties of apples, plenty of which most have never heard of. Siri… What’s a Knobby Russet?

If you have a few apples laying around that you’d like to make a bit more horrifying, there’s now a handy tutorial for that.
Submitted by a Reddit member, a shrunken head-type apple is little more than a few razor cuts and a week of scorching summer heat away.
Of course, this same effect can be accomplished in the oven, or traveling back in time to use an actual Shrunken Head Kit.
