The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
We can only hope that if there was an actual snap that could wipe out half of the universe, that the maker of The Infinity Saucelet is spared.
Brought to us by Matt Benedetto of Unnecessary Inventions, the 3D-printed gauntlet is designed to hold up to six McNugget dipping sauces.
Thankfully, there’s enough variety in the condiments and their packaging colors to represent the Infinity Stones. Grab some nuggets and prepare to rule your fast food universe. Oh, SNAP!
Following the directions on any given LEGOs kit is so last year. Why not take those colorful bricks, and create something useful, like a McDonald’s Chicken Nugget Dispenser?
That’s exactly what the LEGO experts at Astonishing Studios did. Using a bunch of red bricks and some electronics, the fully-functional machine accepts a 2 Euro coin, and will then dispense a four-piece McNuggets and a sauce packet.
Check out how this thing works…
Creating upscale menu items with lowly McDonald’s ingredients is nothing new — but Kung Pao McNuggets are involved here.
A few NYC chefs were recently invited to an upscale event, where they were given the challenge of creating gourmet meals using McDonald’s. The results, as you might expect, are an interesting mix of surprisingly edible-looking meals, to putting lipstick on a pig.
For cupcake enthusiasts that enjoy their food in nugget form, there’s Cupcake Nuggets. Brought to us by Cupcake Project, the nuggets are cut from actual cupcakes, breaded with cupcake crumbs, and then deep fried. To complete the effect, Cupcake Project offers suggestions for making faux savory dipping sauces — such as raspberry jam to look like barbecue sauce.
The recipe and technique can be found here. And, at least you’ll know where your nuggets come from.
Installed recently in Shanghai’s busiest mall are the Dipping McNuggets Elevators. Another clever use of oversized novelty advertising, ad agency Leo Burnett China almost made me consider having a McNugget.
