The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
We may not understand what they’re saying, but Minions sure do make for some adorable food items. To help promote Despicable Me 3, McDonald’s has created Minion Potatoes.
Shaped to look like the adorable yellow dudes, the tater tots are perfect for dipping, or to assist larger evil food items.
The Minion Potatoes appear to only be available in Singapore, New Zealand, Thailand, and Australia. How do you say ‘that sucks’ in Minion?

To help get your kids their carbs, and start them on their path to social media addiction, Birds Eye has unleashed Mashtags — potato snacks shaped like social media icons.
With fun shapes like hashtags, emoticons, and “at” symbols — the kids will be glued to their smartphones and ignoring you in no time.
Kids… Just be sure to follow Foodiggity on Twitter and Facebook. We’re #awesome.

Potatoes wearing sunglasses… Now we’ve seen everything. But these aren’t your ordinary spuds in pink Ray-Ban knock-offs — it’s a series of street art. Brought to us naturally by an artist named Peter Pink, the shaded taters can be seen throughout Berlin.
With Pink’s art usually focused on the issue of obesity and fast food, the installations can sometimes be found protesting outside of a McDonald’s, pink picket signs and all. See more here.
As you’ve probably already heard, we built this city on rock and roll. But Peter Root carved his out of 176 lbs of potatoes. Officially titled “Plot,” the miniature spud city was inspired by Root’s surroundings of Istanbul. It took about three weeks to complete and consists of very starchy homes, office blocks and places of worship. Take that, Starship.
