Let them eat cakes
The Muppet Show Cake by Adam Newbold
Apple@30 cake cutting at DigiBarn Computer museum
Scotland is blissfully free of ageing populations. The Scots die young and don't cling on their pensions for decades like Japanese centenaires, sucking the blood of younger generations. What's their secret? The Scottish Diet, an age-old combination low in fresh fruits and vegetables and high in confectionery, fat enriched meat products, sweet and salty snacks accompanied by generous amounts of sugary drinks and alcohol.
One of the best example of this wonderfully nutritious diet is Scotland's National Dish, the Deep-Fried Mars Bar

The sexy side of PEZ
A Sketch Towards a Taxonomy of Meta-Desserts, including seven Dessert Functions (Shrink, freeze, chill, put in food processor, heat, add leavening, and remove leavening)
I'm very impressed by the ingredients list on Haagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream: Cream, skim milk, sugar, egg yolks, natural vanilla. It's pretty rare to find any packaged food product with such a simple ingredients list
A visit to the PEZ museum in Easton, PA
Although we think of colorful and witty character heads when we think of PEZ, Haas's candy creation was specifically made and sold for an adult market until the 60's. To sell to adults, PEZ and its marketing team used sex to help sell their product: PEZ Girls

Donut Robot of Love
"Everyone loves doughnuts, but not hundreds of them, much to my dismay. My neighbors are already tired of eating doughnuts, but I have high hopes I can sell delicious doughnuts in DaughterBot's school for fundraising. Making a shopping bag full of doughnuts costs me about $8 (and cheaper if I buy shortening by the block and not by the can), and depending on how much I sell each doughnut for, I could make ONE MILLION DOLLARS. Or I could just eat the doughnuts, that's probably an even better deal to me!” The Donut Robot of Love 2000

Sweetest Day is an observance celebrated primarily in the Great Lakes region and parts of the Northeast United States on the third Saturday in October. It has been referred to as a "concocted promotion" created by the candy industry solely to increase sales of candy. So, “because of public interest, the Hallmark collection of Sweetest Day cards has increased from 48 cards in 2000 to 151 cards in 2006…”

Butter Fried Krispy Kreme Donuts
Several months ago I was visiting my grandmother in Kingsport, TN and discovered the most delicious food ever! I awoke one morning and found her frying a Krispy Kreme donut. My immediate response was, "that's disgusting!" She told me to hold off until I had tasted it. She was right, it was the most delicious heart-stopping food I'd ever had. After one bite, all of the fancy desserts I'd eaten before had completely disappeared from my memory.
This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to make the most delicious food ever created - the Butter Fried Krispy Kreme Donuts!
