The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Motörhead, makers of heavy metal music and various forms of alcohol, now offer a boxed version of their wine. Sacrifice Shiraz is the latest offering from Lemmy and the other two guys.
Knowing full well that their legion of head-banging followers wouldn’t tolerate an ordinary box or wine purse — Sacrifice is packaged in a replica amp. Ace of Spades must sound awesome coming out of that thing. Sorry, it appears to only be available in Sweden. Lucky Swedes.

KISS, the band whose lunchbox you probably had as a kid, now has a beer. KISS Destroyer Beer is part of the latest merchandise to bear the band’s name. But unlike the KISS Coffin, you can actually enjoy this product while alive.
According to Peter Criss himself, the beer is described as “having a great head of foam, nice flavour and a balanced bitterness.” Pack a few in your KISS lunchbox and party every day.

The Rolling Stones, of ‘the greatest rock and roll band ever’ fame, were formed fifty years ago this year. So, it only seems appropriate that the band should get their own booze — with Motörhead and Slayer already in the liquor business and all.
Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary Whisky is being released by Japanese liquor brand Suntory to help celebrate the milestone. The tongue logo-adorned bottle will be available in limited release (150 bottles) starting October 30th, and is a blend of malts distilled and casked during years that represent milestones throughout the band’s 50 year history.
To help commemorate Elvis Week — a celebration of The King of Rock and Roll’s life, and the anniversary of his passing — Oreo made him into a cookie. Elvis Oreo is part of Nabisco’s uber-brilliant Daily Twist campaign — a series that is taking us through 100 days of significant news events and milestones in cookie form.
You may remember Oreo had recently caused a stir with their fictitious rainbow version during Gay Pride Week. Which reminds me… Hey, Nabisco… We’re still waiting for our Sextuple Stuf Oreo. What’s the holdup?

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper helped make your food less bland… la, la, la, something, something. Anyway, The Sergeant Pepper Mill is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest albums of all time — providing a high-quality beechwood pepper grinder, painted to look like a mustachioed Beatle.
Grab one to go with your Mean Mr. Mustard Bottle and Glass Onion Peeler*.
*I may have made those last two products up.
