I’m getting kind of excited about these new toothpaste flavours from Crest, like Chocolate Mint Trek, and Lime Spearmint Zest.

I’ve read quite a few blogs and articles where people are all “EW! Toothpaste has to be MINTY and only MINTY! Those people are so crazy I can’t believe it!”

Meh. You need to get out more. If it cleans your teeth, it cleans your teeth. I will totally try it.

I would also try cupcake toothpaste, which I just discovered.

“Brushing your teeth with real frosting kind of defeats the purpose, but with this Cupcake Toothpaste you get all the fabulous flavor of frosting without another root canal! Just put a dollop on your brush and after a few minutes of vigorous brushing your whole mouth will feel frosted!”

Yes, please. I don’t think I’d try pickle toothpaste or bacon toothpaste. But definitely cupcake toothpaste.

You know there’s a paraphilia for everything, right? This woman is cashing in on people who think it’s hot to watch a woman eat.

And she’s not the only one. Gastronomic voyeurism is the latest fad in South Korea, according to this report. Around 3,000 people are doing it, some sponsored by restaurants. Park Seo-yeon broadcasts herself eating in her apartment for up to three hours every day, and makes more than $9,000 U.S. a month doing it.

I imagine a lot of people’s first thought here is “Nice work if you can get it,” (like this guy) but, in real life, I think this would be horrible. I don’t want to eat for three hours a day. Do you? Blech. Also, it’s kind of amazing that she’s not fatter.

Park says, “People enjoy the vicarious pleasure with my online show when they can’t eat that much, or don’t want to eat food at night, or are on a diet.”

Whatever you need to tell yourself, Doodlebug. But I don’t think that’s why they’re watching you. For the most part. The narrator says, ”Some say it makes eating alone feel less awkward.” Must be a cultural thing. I have no awkwardness with eating along.

Instructables user Aaron Geman asks: “Have you caught yourself pounding down a bowl of cereal when all you really want is that sweet, delicious milk at the end? Why not have exactly what you want, and hot too!”

OK, to be honest, no, no I’ve never found myself doing that. But this is still so cool.

It’s tea(sort of) made with milk and crushed up cereal, the kind of cereal my mom never let me have.

See the instructions here. 

I’m not usually the sort of person who looks at those weird, coronary-inducing contemporary food concoctions, like poutine stuffed pizza, and sneers “Ew. Look at all that fat and calories! That’s disgusting!” I usually think they look delicious. But this one is kind of disgusting.

It’s a deep fried PB&J Burger, available for a limited time at a place called PYT, in Philadelphia (I don’t know if it has anything to do with the Michael Jackson song, but I hope so). The thing apparently clocks in at 2000 calories.

I can get behind the kettle chip-encrusted peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, but it kind of loses me at the big slab of meat topped with bacon in the middle. Don’t get me wrong. I can also get behind slabs of meat topped with bacon, I’m just not sure about the total combo. I think I’d lose the burger and put the bacon inside the deep fried sammich. Yum. Now we’re talking chicken.

Scientists claim to have invented hangover free beer.

See, the reason you get a hangover is because you get dehydrated. So some nutrition researchers at the Griffith Health Institute (GHI) have found that you can make beer more hydrating “without killing its taste,” which results in no hangover.

Associate Professor Ben Desbrow from GHI’s Centre for Health Practice Innovation said,

“We basically manipulated the electrolyte levels of two commercial beers, one regular strength and one light beer and gave it to research subjects who’d just lost a significant amount of sweat by exercising. We then used several measures to monitor the participant’s fluid recovery to the different beers.

“Of the four different beers the subjects consumed, our augmented light beer was by far the most well retained by the body, meaning it was the most effective at rehydrating the subjects.”

The electrolyte light beer was a third more effective at hydrating than normal beer, says news-medical.net.

So, it’s light beer. Loses a little of the appeal there.  But maybe you like that sort of thing .

Dude, your sister is awesome. Is there weed in it?
