Enjoying an occasional drink every once in a while is one thing. Then there’s wanting to be buried in a giant booze bottle forever.
Anto Wickham, a 48-year-old bourbon fan, has requested a giant Jack Daniel’s bottle as his final resting place. The Jack Daniel’s Coffin was created by John Gill, the owner of Crazy Coffin. The coffin stands 10-ft. high and cost Wickham $50,000. Rye in peace.

Have you ever wondered what all that stuff on the iconic Jack Daniel’s label means? Or, do you simply not care and just want to drinky? If you answered yes to the first question, Cool Material has decoded each element on the JD label so you don’t have to.
For example, and much to this editor’s surprise, the “No. 7” on the label is actually shrouded in mystery, and not necessarily the number of shots it takes to become a violent, slurring lunatic. Get your whiskey education here.

Around this time last year, Foodiggity.com took a break to enjoy the sights and sounds of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and to sample some of the goods from Dogfish Head Brewery. This year, we’re off to Tennessee, and will be paying Jack Daniels a little visit. I’m noticing a trend here.
Anyway, look for a bit less action here on the blog for the next few days. The Foodiggity Shop is still open for business — but orders placed this week will need an extra few days to arrive. Thanks, and Happy 4th of July, everyone!
