The Facehugger Fritter Will Probably Not Digest Well
If you’ve ever seen Alien, then you know that alien symbiotes are best when they’re not inside of you. That is unless said alien is a delicious fritter.

Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches Exist
At the time of this writing, and with the exception of the impenetrable cupcake, there are no hotter food trends than macarons and ice cream sandwiches.
So, with the news that there’s now such a thing as Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches, the food world could very well implode in on itself… leaving nothing but cupcakes.
This food trend mash-up is the work of Chef François Payard. Presented in three varieties — Salted Caramel, Coconut Mango, and Pistachio Raspberry — they’re only available at François Payard’s Bakery and FP Patisserie in New York City until the end of August.
