The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
If you’re into road-tripping and keeping food cool and groovy, then the VW Fridge should be parked in your kitchen.
Brought to us by European appliance giant, Gorenje, and Volkswagen themselves — the retro fridge is made to resemble a 50s/60s-era VW Microbus, while shaped like a vintage refrigerator.
No worries, there’s a matching toaster if you need to accessorize.

If you have an extra front end of a Volkswagen laying around, you can now repurpose it into an awesome BBQ grill.
Brought to us by Imgur user Managerofnothing, the Golf GTI BBQ is made possible by sawing the car in half, and then placing a functioning grill where the engine was. Easy, peasy.
Use yours to cook up some VW sausage, and keep the Fahrvergnügen going all weekend.
Three-dimensional latte art has certainly picked up steam over the past few years. But never, at least to this VW-owner’s knowledge, has anyone rendered our beloved automobile in foam… until now.
Latte artist Kazuki Yamamoto is at it again. This time, teaming up with Volkswagen Japan to create a 3-D Latte Volkswagen Beetle on a coffee. Now, that’s Fahrvergnügen!

Ditch the fancy paint job and consider covering your ride with fluffy popcorn. That’s what a few art students from The Braunschweig University of Art were recently thinking, when they covered a Volkswagen with popcorn.
Whether the car has completely been consumed by birds yet, we’re not sure, but each kernel was adhered to the VW with hot glue gun. It just needs a buttering every few months.
For the toasted bread-loving hippie, there’s the Volkswagen Minibus Toaster. Unfortunately, a mere 5,000 of these were available only in Japan for VW minibus owners. Sorry to make it worse for those who really want one, but they also imprint a VW logo on your toast.
Good news… There is one available on eBay. The somewhat worse news… The asking price is $488.88. Sorry, hippie.
