Video: Salami Fighting Association
Do you ever look at nunchucks and think, man, those sure look like sausage links? You're on the same wavelength as the guys of Salami Fighting Association, where the mantra is "food does not only give life, it can also kill." Wearing hula-like skirts made of bacon strips, they combine Chuck Norris moves with meat products. The video, after the jump....Video: The Original Sushi Pillow Commercial
Plush sushi pillows are a little pricey—$40 for a California roll and $69 for an edamame body pillow, but after this commercial, you might be brainwashed into one. Or just freaked that four people in all black will chase you across bridges in the snow to Go-go music. The video, after the jump....The 'Veggie Reeltor,' a Broker for Vegetarians in the Bay Area
In looking for a real estate broker, I'd want to know his experience, his commission, his accreditation. But his vegetarian tendencies? As the San Francisco Chronicle reports, broker Daniel Berman, working from Palo Alto, California, sells himself as a "vegetarian reeltor." (And no, that's not a typo; due to trademark concerns with the National Association of Realtors, he's using the term "reeltor" in lieu of the normal spelling.) Believing that a customer and a broker should share fundamental values, he actively seeks out a veggie clientele. "Why should the real estate profession be the exclusive domain of meat-eating right-wing conservatives?" he asks. (Is it really?) He also offers to take a lower commission, if some portion of the savings are...Video: Whole Chicken in a Can
What meal can a housewife whip up for her husband in no time? Chicken in a can! Open! Dump! Delicious! ...Not really! Watch the video after the jump. (Warning: Not safe for those easily skeeved out by a pink chicken lump slathered in colorless goo.)...Weird Edible-Inedible Promo Combinations
Free Jell-o with gas purchase. Free ham with printer purchase. There are many strange food-related promo combos out there. Any we missed?39th Annual World Pea Shooting Championship
This past Saturday the 39th Annual World Pea Shooting Championship was held in Witcham, England. Competitors had to hit a target made of putty from 12 yards away. The Telegraph reports on the latest in pea-shooter technology (a laser-guided shooter with gyroscopic balancing) and the characteristics of successful pea-shooting (such as "moisture criteria," the optimum amount of saliva on the pea). The winner, Jim Collins, used a traditional peashooter....Rubik's Cube Sandwich
I love the '80s. But maybe not this much. The "Rubix Cubewich" contains "cubes of pastrami, kielbasa, pork fat, salami, and two types of cheddar."...World's Strangest Fast-Food Items
Photograph from Tavallai on Flickr The magicians at fast-food chains come up with all sorts of edible creations--each one a little less likely than the last. The San Francisco Weekly lists ten of the world's weirdest, including the White Castle "chicken ring," a Tuna Pie (erk) at Jollibee in the Philippines, and Pita Snacks from Jack in the Box. But are these really the strangest ones out there? I think Domino's Bread Bowl Pasta definitely qualifies. The Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme, too. And there's always McD's--looking beyond our own borders, McDonald's in Hong Kong has served seaweed-flavored French fries; New Zealand, a Quarter Pounder topped with egg and beetroot; and in the Philippines, sweet tomato pasta with hot dogs...Turn Your Garage Door Into a Giant Rotisserie
Style-your-garage.com sells something I never thought anyone would want: trompe-l'œil garage door covers. Like a giant rotisserie! Or a wine cellar! Or this not very sanitary meat locker. And this inexplicably giant beer mug. If you want to class up your garage door, this is probably not the way to do it. [via Geekologie]...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
