The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
If you’re going to be in the kitchen, and you’re not feeling like the princess that you are, Disney Princess Aprons are here to help. Brought to us by Etsy user loverdoversclothing, the aprons are handmade so that you can be either Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, and others.
And, with Disney’s latest acquisition of Lucas Films, we’re certainly looking forward to the new Slave Leia Apron*.
* Dear Lovers Dovers… please make this.

Along with the photos, Mickey ears, and near-permanent smiles — you can now take home some of your favorite smells from your Disney vacation. Disney Park Air Fresheners are made to look and smell like some classic foods from Disney World and Disneyland.
The four air fresheners, that will be available at each theme park, include the infamous Frontierland turkey leg, Mickey Ice Cream Bar, Minnie Candy Apple, and Mickey Waffle. And, if Disney cuisine isn’t your thing, treat yourself to the Pirates of the Caribbean Stale Water Air Freshener* or the Three Hours In Line Scent of Humanity Potpourri*.

When they weren’t creating timeless classics or animated acid trips, Disney took full advantage of having America’s attention in the 40s, by making war propaganda films. Created in 1942, Food Will Win The War attempts to make US citizens feel warm and fuzzy during wartime, by using US agriculture as a measure of the country’s power.
However, the film occasionally derails with highly-exaggerated statistics, images of spaghetti sweaters covering the earth, and giant ears of corn hanging over Hitler’s head. See for yourself.
