Cat Donuts Win The Internet

donut-1

Until now, the internet has sustained itself with a steady dose of cat videos and the latest donut news. Now, prepare for the two worlds to finally collide, and for the possibility of the internet imploding in on itself.

Cat Donuts are inspired by the Japanese anime series One Nya Hup. We don’t want to give too much away here, but the cartoon follows the trials and tribulations of… Wait, who cares?!? Cat Donuts!!!

Sorry, but the donuts will only be available for a limited time in Japan. In its stead, please accept this video of cat donuts.

Do not adjust your screens… Something called the Black Terra is an entirely black hot dog. Served at Vegas Premium Hot Dogs in Tokyo, the Terra’s shade of black is made possible by using an edible bamboo charcoal powder.

Now, we’re going to go ahead and end this post before I say something that’ll get us in trouble. Thanks for stopping by.

Attention, all other latte artists… Your work sucks. Osaka-based barista Kazuki Yamamoto has added a new dimension to the frothy art form — creating 3D latte art.

Whether it’s a cat transitioning from one cup to another, or Yamamoto simply showing off by constructing a giraffe — there’s now a new frightening standard in temporary coffee art.

McDonald’s French Fries Holder For Your Car

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.
