The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
The problem with your Apple phone, is the lack of actual apple. The Banana Phone is here to help dumb-down your smartphone and provide the fruit that you seek.
The Banana Phone is real. Although, it’s not actually meant to replace your existing iPhone or Android, it will pair up with it via Bluetooth. Besides making your conversations more interesting, 1% of all sales goes directly to Gearing Up 4 Gorillas.
Find out more about the project and check out their Indiegogo campaign here.
On American menus, we rely on fancy terms such as ‘artisan,’ ‘pan-fried,’ and ‘extra cheese’ to tempt our stomachs. In Japan, they use highly-shellacked artificial foodstuff. Now, Japanese fake food will help protect your iPhone.
Brought to us by Village Vanguard Online Store, the fake food cases range from pizza and shrimp to salmon roe and beef stew. If the phone cases do happen to tempt your belly, please try not to eat your phone… Apple Care doesn’t cover that. Check them out here.

To help show-off its hands-free voice-command of Siri, the Apple iPhone 6s enlisted Cookie Monster as its newest spokesperson.
Which seems like an odd choice, considering Cookie doesn’t have hands, so much as blue-shag mittens — as well as what some might refer to as “a slight speech-impediment.”
Nevertheless, I want a new iPhone and cookies now. Well played, Cookie Monster.

It sure takes a lot to make fast food look edible. Luckily, Apple gadgets can do almost anything, and were used to create a professional-looking fast food photoshoot.
Created by DigitalRev TV, a few iPads were used as lightboxes and an iPhone as the camera, making a McDonald’s burger look semi-palatable.

Eating ramen with one hand while navigating our iPhone with the other seems like a lot of work. Now, thanks to Japan, there’s a hyperrealistic-looking bowl of ramen that will conveniently hold your precious phone.
The ramen dock will help free up your hands, allowing you to eat all of the real noodles you’d like. Just don’t mistakenly drop your phone into your lunch.
