Dine daily on a full serving of fresh news every morning.  Why?  Because it’s cheaper than your morning latte and more informative than your average nutritional label.

For Real, it's Friday

• Oh, dear God.  Donut Pie.  Looks like CakeSpy's been cribbing from Paula Deen's cook books.

• Loopa Bowl.  It's the bowl THAT WON'T SPILL WHEN TIPPED.  Supposedly it's marketed towards toddlers.  Supposedly.
  

• Slice.  The coolest, most stylish ceramic kitchen cutters this side of the... uh, kitchen.  

• Need a crash course in prosciutto?  You do.  Oh, trust me, trust me, YOU DO.

• For those of you familiar with the names OxFam and Monsanto, you might want to take a gander at Civl Eats' question of the day: Who Owns Our Food?

• Popcorn juice.  Mmmm, the buttery, creamy-licious taste of popcorn -- in a CAN.  (But really in a bottle.)

• Human vending machines - cool new wave of the future or just another way to cut costs on energy bills?  Either way it looks creepy -- and delightfully so!

CHICKEN IN A CAN + CUPCAKE-FLAVORED DENTAL FLOSS

Dine daily on a full serving of fresh news every morning.  Why?  Because it’s cheaper than your morning latte and more informative than your average nutritional label.

There's Still Room for Thursday

• Oh, the breakfast pizza to end all breakfast pizzas.
  

• Um... as this video will evidence, I don't think entire chickens are meant to be canned. Or eaten. EVER.

• There's nothing like cooking up some nice patties on your very own hot stone grill.

• Eat more veggies.  It's a common refrain, isn't it?  Except this time around, the logic behind it is that veggies taste worse and contain less nutrients today than they did 2 generations ago.  

• In a taste test of instant coffee between Starbucks' Via Ready Brew and Nescafe, you'd be surprise to see who wins hands down and why.

• In a generation dominated by Yelpers, Chowhounders and food bloggers, how much influence does today's average food critic really wield anymore?

• Genius or counterintuitive?  Cupcake flavored dental floss.

• Like so many other junky snacks that are biting the dust, Handi-Snacks Pudding Cups are also being put  out to pasture.  (Not to be confused with being put out to pasteurize.)

Wow, is it Wednesday Already?

• Sushi cake.  ::drools:: I'll take a slice of this over Betty Crocker any day.
  

• Obese Barbie.  Now does it come with the Chinese take-out container, or are accessories not included?
  

• While soda was never a health food, HFCS-haters can rejoice that Pepsi and Mountain Dew are taking it back with some of their most classic formulas - sans high fructose corn syrup and with real sugar.

• When it comes to eating beef, sometimes it gets a little confusing as to what the difference is between grain fed and grass fed, or what "natural" really means.  Oregon Live clears up the bigger picture for you.

• Hot dog pie.  Mmmm... doesn't get any more American than that.

• The candy industry just gets more and more interesting by the day: Formula Pee comes replete with an orange prescription bottle. Clever commentary on the pharmaceutical industry or the candy industry's desperation for novelty?

• Don't know what to do with your 90s-era VCR?  Try converting it into a very unwieldy, very dangerous toaster.
