If you need to tie some hair back, and you love burgers, the Cheeseburger Hair Bow is here to help.
Brought to us by Happy Mills Shop, the handmade hair bows are a stylish way to keep some hair organized, while letting everyone know that you love your burgers.
There’s also a Pizza Bow and Ice Cream Sandwich Bow available, if burgers ain’t your thing.
McDonald’s recently unleashed the “Create Your Taste” kiosk, which allows the Mickey D’s customer to get creative and build their own burger. The problem with this concept, besides that the end result is McDonald’s, is that eventually someone is going to take liberties with the service.
The Big Max, brought to us by Moshe Tamssot, is what happens when you push the Create Your Taste kiosk to its limits. With the option to “10x” almost every ingredient, you too can create a foot-high, four-pound monstrosity. Just prepare to have a fast food manager hate you.
Quick stat sheet…
We know what you’re thinking… There’s no way those are actual frog legs sticking out of that black-bunned burger. Well then, you obviously haven’t been paying attention to our extensive coverage of Japan, where anything is possible, and its usually bat-shit cray-cray.
The Frog Burger is oh so very real, and is indeed an actual frog, with its deep-fried legs sticking out from the bun. If nothing else, the protruding legs are a very good and disturbing reminder of what you’re eating.
The Frog Burger is part of museum Orbi Yokohama‘s promotion for their Deadly Poison Exhibition. Hopefully, the non-toxic variety were used for the burgers.

Whether or not you like to eat McDonald’s food items, you cannot deny their resiliency and seemingly infinite shelf-life. Evidenced in the recent photo seen above, this Quarter Pounder with cheese was actually purchased in 1995.
The story goes that two friends from Adelaide, Australia purchased the burger in ’95 for a friend. After the friend did not claim the burger, the two decided to keep it indefinitely. Fast forward to 2015, and the cheeseburger not only still exists, but it appears as though it was just bought.
We assume that these two friends are just experienced embalmers or sorcerers of some kind. Or, perhaps McDonald’s resiliency to outside elements is just that terrifying.

If you haven’t been keeping up with the final season of Parks and Recreation… firstly, what’s wrong with you? But if you are in the know, then you witnessed an epic episode last night of a TV show within a TV show, complete with fake commercials.
Although all of the ads were thoroughly awesome — the one bogus commercial that stood out, and is more pertinent to this website, was the spot for Paunch Burger.
The ad quickly launches into why healthy eating is for chumps, and then tries to strong-arm us into eating their artery-clogging fare. Well, let us tell you, Paunch Burger… Your bullying tactics aren’t needed to get us to eat horribly. Nice try though.
