Just when you thought that a McDonald’s sandwich couldn’t get any less appetizing, along comes this gray-bunned entry from McDonald’s China.
“The Modern China Burger” is a double pork patty with bacon, lettuce, tomato and Sichuan pepper ketchup. Perhaps an answer to Burger King’s all-black burger — the gray bun is colored with black sesame and, along with its beige pork innards, makes for a monochromatic assault to your palate. No mention what color it turns your poop.

The only time it’s acceptable to mix hair and food, is when it’s in the form of Realistic Food Hair Clips.
Apparently popular in China — anything from hot wings, prawns, and pork belly can be used to hold your hair up. Wear one to accessorize with other food-related couture, or to ironically keep your hair out of your food. See more here.

First, there was an all-black burger. Black begat red. Now, KFC China is here to raise the bar on ill-advised burger buns with a pink chicken sandwich.
The Rose Cheese Roasted Chicken Burger was recently introduced, along with another ubiquitous black burger, and is here to seriously mess with your rods and cones. Hopefully the chicken doesn’t turn out pink too.

It’s an inescapable fact that peaches look like butts. To help perpetuate this, a certified-awesome fruit vendor in China slipped some sexy undies on the fuzzy fruits.
The pantie-clad peaches are being sold to help celebrate Qixi Festival — China’s version of Valentine’s Day. How romantic.

If Pizza Express happens to be opening their 500th location in Beijing, then it only makes sense that China’s iconic Terracotta Warriors get recreated out of pizza dough.
Brought to us by Annabel of Conjurer’s Kitchen, who specializes in creating macabre cakes, the dough warriors are made from Pizza Express’ dough, and are worthy to stand guard at any pizza party.
