The Fast Food Critic, a frequent commenter/poster on SE, retires his blog: "This is a sad day for me, and I have been trying to avoid it. I apologize to all the FFC readers who have visited and supported this project. I am turning off the ‘comments’ because I really can’t handle hearing what people have to say right now. Despite giving 100% to this site, I feel like I’ve failed. Please forgive me."...

The Copywriter Underground The Copywriter Underground critiques a print ad from Oscar Mayer that touts the company's Deli Creations flatbread sandwich line as blogworthy. It's a playful nod at the tendency of bloggers to document every aspect of their lives. So why not a premade deli sandwich? Says Copywriter Underground's Tom Chandler: Me? I vote thumbs up. The concept mixes a little edge and some fun with an ever-so-slight amount of self-deprecating humor. And yes, Oscar Mayer is clearly more interested in the “connected” generation than they are the old geezers (like the one writing this blog post).

If you're searching for another refreshing treat after trying the clementine granitas, follow up with Leonor's recipe and take a look at her photo shoot featuring these clouds of citrusy goodness.

I'm not a fan of caffeinated foods—coffee and sodas in particular—but after reading the product reviews on Caffeine Examiner I almost want to try some of these sleepy-destroying drinks and candies out of sick curiosity. In particular, I'm drawn to the many offensive qualities of Go Fast Energy Gum: I can not go to enough superlatives to describe the fun horror of these pieces, and would almost recommend to anyone around to purchase some so they can experience this for themselves. It makes your jaws ache, your teeth squeak—and your tongue turn bright yellow. This is like accidentally putting something rotten in your mouth, your brain will try to expel this from your body as fast as possible—but if you...
