These Peeps Are Turning Japanese

Kelli BenderApril 4, 2010 //

Remember playing house with your kindergarten boyfriend and Play-Doh food? Well, Peepshi is the sushi equivalent of taking something wholly adult and giving it a juvenile rebirth. All you need are three childhood dietary staples: Fruit by the Foot, Rice Krispies, and, of course, Peeps. But be warned! This recipe is not for the faint of heart, or people who don’t like to get their hands sticky. You will need to have the nerve to cut off quite a few candy chicken heads.

Suck On This: Massimo Gammacurta Logo Lollipops

Leonora EpsteinMay 7, 2009 //

If you’re the type who drools over a pair of pumps, Massimo Gammacurta’s work should appeal to you. The New York-based fashion photographer is famous for concocting stylish still life pictures, and his latest series depicts lollipops in the shape of luxury brand logos. Is the subtext that the fashion world is sugar-coated? Or that a passion for style can’t be satiated by clothes alone? Either way, it would be pretty cool to go around sucking a purple Chanel logo (what does Chanel taste like anyhow — plum?) or a cherry YSL. [Gammacurta.com] Keep reading »

This Piece Of Chocolate Looks Awfully Familiar

Amelia McDonell-ParryMay 14, 2008 //

Sometimes the web makes me laugh so hard. A chocolate company is selling creamy, delicious candies in the shape of anuses. But they’re Belgian! That means they’re tasty. [The Incredible Edible Anus] Keep reading »

Worms Do Not Enhance The Taste Of Chocolate

Catherine StrawnFebruary 12, 2008 //

More than $1 billion of chocolate is purchased for Valentine’s Day alone, but apparently not all of it is edible. CBS2 in New York City purchased six bags of chocolate from different stores around the city. They found that five were inedible. Of course, this was a very small sampling, but most of the products had expiration dates that had passed, and one, a giant Hershey kiss had worms inside. Ewww.
