ThinkGeek The Homo Sapiens Caveman Kitchen Tool (also known as a stone club) from ThinkGeek will elevate your kitchen to the highest of culinary standards. This sandstone tool can be used to sharpen knives, grate garlic, and tenderize meat. It's even dishwasher safe—something cavemen would've appreciated during those heady Paleolithic times if they had had dishwashers. It's all yours for $39.99.

"Isn't pita bread the real enemy?" In case you haven't gotten enough Brüno already, Coldmud points to a surprisingly SFW clip involving a Hamas-hummus mix-up. [Video, after the jump.]...

Kellogg's UK has rolled out a new muesli cereal called Nature's Pleasure supported by an ad campaign that features cartoon people in various states of undress doing inexplicable things with their morning meal. Blogger Meemalee picked up her copy of thelondonpaper a couple days ago and paid a little more attention to the illustrated weirdness of the ad than Kellogg's probably would have liked. As you turn the pages, the multipart ad spells out "We've added something new to muesli,", with the dazed-looking cartoon people holding up the message's letters, sitting on them, or just leaning against them and taking a little more of nature's pleasure than one should from breakfast cereal (right). But the company got wind of...

I first head the Fast Food Song—at least, the "A-Pizza Hut! A Pizza Hut!" part of it—at summer camp, where it wasn't at all unusual to belt nonsensical songs or break into dance. But I had no idea that in 2003, this version by the Fast Food Rockers reached #2 on the British pop charts. The music video is, er, colorful. Though some parts of their dance are identical to ours (of course you flap your wings when you say "Kentucky Fried Chicken!") there's a lot more to scratch your head about. What's with those shoulder pads? Do fast-food servers really wear corsets? And why on earth is there a big blue dog following them around? Decide for yourself,...

On The Onion’s morning news show video spoof “Today Now,” there’s a feature on Taco Bell’s new “100% Green Menu.” What makes it all green, you ask? None of the ingredients are taken from nature—so there’s zero environmental impact! “After all,” the fast food rep reminds us, “at Taco Bell, we have a long tradition of taking as little as possible from the natural world!” The video, after the jump....

The Ross Sisters were a trio of singing, dancing, contortionist siblings who came to fame in the 1940s. What better way to celebrate the Fourth than by watching some of this great home-grown Texan talent sing about "solid potato salad"? For me, the words "solid potato salad" conjure up images of potato salad entrapped in quaking green Jell-o. Thankfully, there is no such thing. A quick search revealed that solid was a wartime expression for "great," or "good." They're cute, they've got matching outfits, and they can put their legs behind their heads. Plus, I really think their outfits would be the perfect thing to wear to a picnic, pigtails and all. The video starts out so sweet with...

This video consists of 17 seconds of "Aww, cute!" followed by nine seconds of "OH MY GOD, oh god, so cute, SOOO CUTE," accompanied by squeals of delight. Or maybe that was just me. Watch the video after the jump....

But..what does it smell like? Photograph from Leslie Duss on Flickr Reaffirm your belief in science by reading NCBI ROFL, a blog dedicated to rounding up funny-sounding, but serious papers from the National Center for Biotechnology Information. Some food-related examples: using a human taste panel to optimize the "sensory characteristics and acceptance of canned cat food"; reviewing the odor of fresh squeezed orange juice; finding out whether pizza causes cancer; and testing the spermicidal potency of cola drinks.

Nut-studded cheese ball from lisa_eglinton on Flickr There's a great discussion going on over at Chowhound about family foods that we thought were normal... until we moved out of the house. A few highlights so far: chili served with peanut butter, Cap'n Crunch with whipped cream, chicken soup with a side of mayo, Wonder bread with sour cream and corn syrup, and hot Jell-O. What weird family foods did you grow up with?...
