Blogger Tracy O'Connor documents the uncanning of a Sweet Sue Canned Whole Chicken and tastes test it so you don't have to. Ingredient-wise it's inoffensive—there's just chicken, water, and salt.

Peeps flavored lip balms do in fact exist. Available on Amazon for $3.99, or apparently in the Target $1 bins, they come in four different marshmallow cream flavors: grape, strawberry, vanilla, and cotton candy. The best part? None of these are even real Peeps flavors. We had to order one of the intriguing sticks. Peeps Lip Balm FAQ Does it taste like melted Peeps spread all over your lips? A little.
