The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
The term “You complete me” has never been more appropriate than in the short film, The Pits.
The story follows one lonely half of an avocado wandering the streets of New York City in search of its other half. SPOILER ALERT: The two finally come together in Central Park and, wouldn’t you know, it’s a perfect fit.
Watch this touching tale of fruit-love below.
If the sound of “fries, baked or mashed?” makes your blood run cold, or you’re gluten-intolerant… look away from the screen.
Peeled: The Potato Resurrection is the potato-themed horror film we didn’t know we needed. Although merely a faux-trailer, the short film by Katrina Naficy and Nick Massey is a terrifying tale of a woman haunted by the root vegetable. Even if celery root and beets are far scarier.
Watch as a potato bleeds for no good reason, and stay for the potato birth scene… seriously.
“As far back as I can remember, I’ve wanted to run a fast food restaurant.”
What is it about the rise and fall of fresh-faced protagonists, that makes for great drama? Even if that protagonist is a fast food worker who eventually becomes “The King of Burgers.”
Foodfellas is a short film that takes us through the meteoric rise and epic downfall of a young go-getter, who falls in with the wrong crowd. Sound familiar?
Inspired by Goodfellas, the fry cook meets up with Ron The Don, a fast food clown. It does not end well.
Keurig single-serve coffee pods were created in the interest of convenience… not necessarily for their taste. We know this because coffee produced from a K-Cup, although quite convenient, tastes like an instant coffee-flavored puddle that’s been repeatedly stepped in.
To add insult to injury, K-Cups are far from eco-friendly, and millions of them are disposed of every year.
Kill The K-Cup is a short film that exposes the coffee pods as the Earth-hating and toxic vessels they are. Although K-Cups’ destruction of the environment is a bit more subtle than the film portrays, the message is clear. And that message is to start brewing your own coffee, or you’ll eventually be crushed by a giant coffee pod-monster. Follow the movement at #killthekcup.
While you probably don’t use actual film anymore, you’ll still need to properly season your food.
Film Roll Salt and Pepper Shakers will have you using those antiquated canisters again — one for salt, one for the pepper.
Brought to us by Photojojo, you can give a pair to a photographer who doesn’t appreciate bland food, or keep them for yourself and have fun explaining film to the kids.
