Would you like fries with that nap? Supersize Bed is a project by British set and costume designer, Cecilia Carey, in collaboration with architectural foodsmith, Harry Parr.
The fully-functional bed has the requisite mattress, with the added bonus of a giant package of fast-food fries as a headboard. Did we mention that the fries are giant pillows that can be removed and used to make sleeping even awesomer? They may even help you dream of fast food… more so.

You’ve had a good night out, you’ve got the munchies, and regular french fries just ain’t gonna do. Well, if you’re near Murray Hill in Manhattan, you can stop by Sticky’s Finger Joint, who’s now serving up S’mores Fries.
The answer to your brand of munchies includes; french fries, topped with toasted marshmallow sauce, chocolate sauce, crushed graham crackers and more tiny marshmallows. Enjoy, as the next morning is probably gonna suck.

This new french fries machine was created in Belgium, so it’s technically a “frites” machine. Nevertheless, it conveniently delivers a portion of deep-fried slices of potato in 90 seconds.
Another factor in the frite awesomeness, besides the convenience factor and lack of human interaction, is that the frites are cooked in beef fat. And, did we mention that Belgians typically put mayo on their fries?
We don’t mean to stereotype… But when Canadians aren’t playing hockey or drinking maple syrup, they’re probably eating poutine. For those not familiar with the French-Canadian delicacy, it’s basically french fries topped with brown gravy and cheese curds. Now, Jones Soda has turned it into a horrifying beverage.
Poutine Soda combines the fried potato flavor with savory brown gravy and fatty curds, all contained within one bottle, and carbonated for that extra gag factor. Of course, the beverage will only be available in Canada. Here in the States, we’ll stick with our Turkey and Gravy Pop, eh?

The ride home from McDonald’s can be a long and tortuous one. Hey, we’re only human, and those fries call to us from the passenger seat. At least it’s good to know that this problem is an international one, as Japan has unleashed the ultimate car accessory with The Potato Holder.
Visitors to McDonald’s Japan who purchase an extra value meal, with a large order of fries, get this fries holder for their car. The Potato Holder fits neatly into any cup holder, making car-eating as convenient and shameless as ever. And, in case you’re wondering, it will probably hold your iPhone too… Your greasy, greasy iPhone.
