Donuts and sushi are two of my favorite foods, but I never thought to combine them until I saw this photo of Psycho Donuts’ “Psycho Sushi.” Unfortunately there is no raw fish in these donuts, only dough and frosting made to look like sashimi and caviar, but now I have a mad simultaneous craving for sushi and donuts. Well, now I know what I’m having for lunch today! [Psycho Donuts via Neatorama]

Ziploc Jacket Lets You Wear Your Lunch And Eat It Too
It’s 10AM and your stomach is growling. You could rifle through your traditional paper lunch bag to sneak a bite of your sandwich, or, if you’re wearing this ingenious Ziploc jacket, you could just unzip the pocket under your armpit. Want some chips? No worries, they’re conveniently stored below your boob. Apparently the brilliant designer of this stylish snackovation is known only as Diana (her friend posted the photo to Tumblr), but I’m pretty confident we’ll get to know her better when she inevitably shows up on “Project Runway” (or perhaps a spinoff called “Project Lunchway”?). Til then, I’ll be in the kitchen with a glue gun trying to make a knockoff version of this awesome jacket. [Grist]
Dream Or Nightmare: Cupcakes Made Entirely Of Frosting
These cupcakes, created by Stefani Pollack of Cupcake Project, actually contain no cake: they’re made entirely of frosting. Instead of chocolate cake, the base is made by piling chocolate frosting in a chocolate wrapper, and the whole thing is topped with more frosting. I’ve never been a big fan of frosting, so this photo is giving me a sugar headache, but I’d imagine for some people (ahem, Ami), this creation is a dream come true. Any other frosting fiends out there who are dying to try one of these? [Laughing Squid]
Meet Wisconsin’s Most Extreme Bloody Mary
Bloody Mary garnishes used to be pretty basic: a celery stick, olives, maybe a cocktail shrimp or two. Then came bacon strips and mini cheeseburgers. And now, well, look at this bloody monster, served up by O’Davey’s Irish Pub in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. It’s topped with a slightly precarious looking tower of garnishes including popcorn, bacon, peanuts, beans, sausage, a soft pretzel, nachos, cheesburger sliders, a hot dog, pickles, crackers, cheese curd, and a Brewers flag. If this doesn’t cure your hangover (and give you a different kind of stomach ache), nothing will. [Neatorama]

Dream Or Nightmare: Tabasco Jelly Beans
When I saw these Tabasco-flavored jelly beans, I had to do some deep breathing exercises to stifle my gag relax, but they must have sounded really good to someone, because they’re currently sold out. So, are you one of the Tabasco fanatics who would gladly gobble up a bag of these? Or do you find them as horrifying as I do? [Neatorama]
The Aurora Borealis Cocktail Is The Coolest Drink Ever
Want to know a neat trick? Apparently if you add pink lemonade concentrate to gin (or vodka) and tonic, you’ll have a pretty pink cocktail that turns into a crazy bright aquamarine OUTER SPACE DRINK under a black light. So round up your friends, mix up some of these Aurora Borealis cocktails, re-watch the footage of the Curiosity landing, and play a rousing game of “Pin the mohawk on Bobak Ferdowsi.” Cheers!

Tide Pods And Other Delish “Foods” We’ve Consumed As Kids!
Just in time for the 4th of July, the red, white, and blue Tide Laundry Detergent Pods have been causing major upchuck from the stomachs of little children in the last couple of months. Climbing from 200 in late May to 1,200 in recent weeks, poisoning reports have Poison Control Centers throughout the country blowing up! Toddlers have been scouring laundry cabinets in hopes of lathering their tongues with the delish taste of Tide Pods, many instances resulting in immediate visits to the emergency room.
Many of The Frisky staffers have also eaten some noteworthy “foods,” both in their younger years and recently. Some of these lip-smacking chow includes, well, puppy chow, doggie Beggin’ Strips, and milk bones (in multiple flavors, of course). Other non-canine foods that were consumed include crunchy poison packets found in shoeboxes and grainy fists full of sand. Keep reading »
16 Frightening Doritos Flavors
One of my favorite things about traveling to a foreign country is discovering the local cuisine. Yes, of course I mean going to fun restaurants — from fancy, upscale places to out of the way dives — but I also like to hit up the nearest convenience store and ogle their selection of Doritos. (Truth be told, I was almost as excited about the array of Doritos being sold at the snack shop outside the Mayan ruins in Tulum as I was about the actual scenery inside.) Did you know that Doritos have been around since 1964 and there have been over 100 varieties sold all over the world? I found all this out last night, as I read about the news that the founder of Doritos, Arch West, had died and was going to be buried with his iconic chips. One story that came across my newsfeed: 102 Doritos Flavors From Around The World. Despite my travels, there were so many I had no idea about, including a few that whet my appetite – Atomic Chile Limon? Yes please! — but way more that made my stomach heave. Here are the 16 flavors of Doritos that excited and repulsed me at the same time. [Now That's Nifty]
