If you’re one who enjoys a milkshake with your meal, then you’ll probably have no problem with a meal right on top of your milkshake. It’ll save a plate.

Apparently, there’s a trend of extreme milkshakes in Sydney, Australia — where restaurants, cafés, and ice cream shops vie for gut-busting and gravity defying supremacy.

Photographer Alana Dimou wants in on the trend, and has created a few extreme milkshakes of her own. From S’mores Chicken to a towering Bacon Cheeseburger atop a mason jar, it’s up to the viewer to not only ask, “why?” but then try to figure out how one would consume such a monstrosity.

This Is McDonald’s New Hamburglar… No, Really

McDonalds-Hamburglar-Close-Up-Shot-Two-1

At first glance, the above photo appears to be nothing more than a typical office drone dressing up for his company’s mandatory Halloween party. The truth however, is much different… and much much more sad.

The masked half-shaven gentlemen is actually McDonald’s new Hamburglar… you read that correctly. Gone is the chubby, single-toothed burger thief of our youth. He’s been replaced with a square-jawed, trench-coated metrosexual, who looks as though he only eats burgers that are grass-fed organic.

The introduction of the new mascot comes as McDonald’s sales plummet nationwide. And, we all know what happens when McDonald’s introduces a new mascot to peddle its foodstuffs… it winds up scaring the shit out of everyone.

With all-black food becoming the rage — at least in a certain part of the world that tends to do stuff that’s cray-cray — a ‘how to do your own black burger’ was bound to happen.

Brought to us by Instructables member, spunk, the black-out burger is made possible with some medicinal charcoal. The instructions on how to make your own can be found here. Who’s crazy now, Japan?

‘Human Burgers’ Made For Walking Dead Premiere

human-burgers

To help celebrate the upcoming premiere of The Walking Dead, and to give an idea of what human flesh tastes like, Miss Cakehead and London Mess have teamed up to bring us Human Burgers.

The meat mix — consisting of veal, beef, pork, chicken liver and bone marrow — was inspired by the town of Terminus and its implied cannibalistic residents.

The recipe was constructed using descriptions of the taste of human by author William Seabrook — who experimented with cannibalism in West Africa.
