Video: Zog's Dogs in 'The Greatest Hot Dog Story'
I didn't know where this crazy-ass hot dog video was going at first, but it brings the awesome around 2:20. Don't scrub ahead, though. You have to watch it in its entirety for the full-on LMAO ridiculousness. From the folk's at Zog's Dogs.Want to Eat: Luxirare's Edible Crayons
Or just stare at and admire. Remember that kid in grade school who was secretly eating Play-Doh in the corner? Well, he would freak if arts and crafts time involved these crayons from food and fashion site Luxirare. Each color was made from a medley of food bits including nuts, seeds, dried veggies, and fruits. For the yellow: freeze-dried corn, peanuts, bee pollen, and dried bananas. And the green: peas, green beans, dried kiwi, and green Fruity Pebbles. So if you happen to have a crayon mold lying around, clearly you should make these.

Improv Everywhere released its latest public spectacle, Grocery Store Musical, in which a handful of seemingly ordinary produce-aisle shoppers break out into song, joyously proclaiming the virtue of "squishing our fruit together." Love the "produce manager" riding out in the cart toward the end. Video, after the jump. So worth watching....Japanese Mystery Cafe: You Never Know What You're Going to Get
[Photograph: cabel.name] In Kashiwa, Japan, the mysterious Ogori Cafe had a unique way of filling your order. According to Cabel Maxfield Sasser: At this cafe, you get what the person before you ordered. The next person gets what you ordered. Sounds like a fun social experiment, and, indeed, the point of the cafe seems to have been to introduce surprise into an ordinary day and to encourage strangers to interact with one another. And I love what Sasser's friend ordered for the customer after him: Mike went up to the cafe, slapped down a couple thousand yen (~$25), and ordered a little bit of everything: some ice cream, some snacks, some candy, some drinks, a Japanese horn-of-mysterious-plenty intentionally set...Potato Crisps from Luxirare
[Luxirare] The problem with opening up food and fashion website Luxirare (the blog that brought you Pie Lollipops) is that one could easily spend days on end entranced by its incredible photo spreads. In this post on potato chips, we see the making of these stunning snacks in dozens of images—from paper-thin potato sheets to the red pepper, cilantro, and vanilla chips seen above. It's often said that food is a form of art; looking at these photos, it's clear that making it can be, too....Video: Johnnie Walker 'I Walk' Ad with Robert Carlyle
AdFreak is calling this spot for Johnnie Walker whiskey the best ad of the year so far. At six and a half minutes, it's a bit long but well worth viewing. It's shot in a continuous long take, with Scottish actor Robert Carlyle narrating the history of the brand as he walks down a road in the Scottish highlands. The mini movie becomes completely engaging about a minute in, when you realize the director has worked in a clever set of well-timed visual cues at roadside that correspond to Carlyle's walking, talking narrative. Watch it, after the jump....Pie Lollipops
Photos from Luxirare These pictures are worth 1,000 words, so we'll only venture two: pie lollipops. [Luxirare]...Weird Food-Related Collections
This is my collection of international Coke cans. (What, is that weird?) It's the kind of relic from my childhood that I forget about, now living three thousand miles from the house I grew up in, until I walk into my bedroom and realize—oh, right—one entire wall is lined with cans of Coke. The collection started when I was about nine years old. My family was flying back from the East Coast, and my older brother realized that the soda a flight attendant had brought him had a German label. That familiar Coca-Cola can—but in a different language! Awesome, I said to myself. I bought that can off him for a dollar. (My ever-entrepreneurial brother let me have nothing...Meat Cards: Business Cards Made of Beef Jerky
Meat Cards: We start with 100% beef jerky, and SEAR your contact information into it with a 150 WATT CO2 LASER.Screw die-cutting. Forget about foil, popups, or UV spot lamination. THESE business cards have two ingredients: MEAT AND LASERS. As TK Baltimore points out, "OK, but if you eat it, doesn't that defeat the purpose?"
