Mmmmm frostbitten toe….
Monday, April 16th, 2007A canadian bar has a long tradition of serving a drink that features a preserved amputated human toe.
“And then, with the glass tipped back for the last of the drink to splash in, the toe lost its sticky grip on the base and tumbled down and bumped against my mouth. The surprise as I felt it touch made me gasp, just enough to open my mouth a little more and for the toe to wash inside, past my teeth and up against my tongue.
“Oh gross,” said Georgia. “I hate it when that happens.”"
Gross to say the least. With a dedicated following, they’ve even formed the Sourtoe Coctail Club.

You got gum in my chocolate!
Sunday, April 15th, 2007
There’s a reason this gum hasn’t been created until now, it’s a disgusting concept. May it die soon, before a Reese’s spoof commercial.

Inhalable caffeine
Sunday, April 1st, 2007I’m all for options, so here’s another for getting your caffeine fix. You don’t light SurgeStix, but since they are stimulants shaped like cigs, they may help in kicking the habit.
“Each “puff” will suck roughly 18mg of caffeine into your lungs (and right into your bloodstream!) With about 10 “tokes” per SurgeStix, you’ll get 180mg of caffeine in just a few breaths.”
That is about double a cup of coffee or a red bull.
Puck says goodbye to duck (liver)
Friday, March 30th, 2007“Wolfgang Puck announced that he is removing foie gras, battery caged eggs, and crated veal and pork from all his menus, and adding vegetarian options throughout his restaurants worldwide. Puck’s continually expanding empire encompasses Spago, Postrio, Cut, Chinois, Grand Cafe, Gourmet Express, Lupo, American Grille, Bar & Grille, Vert, and 20-21.”
He joins the city of Chicago, the state of California and a few countries that have bans on producing or serving foie gras. Hopefully this list keeps growing.

Win some drinking money

Sorry jews, no pot for passover
Thursday, March 29th, 2007I imagine the Green Leaf party has plenty of pull among the rabbis..
“In bad news for its religious Jewish supporters, an Israeli pro-marijuana party announced Tuesday that pot is forbidden on Passover.
Cannabis is among the substances Jews are forbidden to consume during the week-long festival, which begins Monday, said Michelle Levine, a spokeswoman for the Green Leaf party. ”
Kegerator, for wine
Monday, March 26th, 2007
This solid mahogany wine dispenser has taps for two bottles of red and two bottles of white wine, and holds four bottles in reserve. Each section is held at separate temperatures and inert nitrogen gas pushes the wine out of the bottle through the spigot. This preserves each bottle for a few weeks, more than enough time to finish each off casually throughout a few dinners. Cut the $2000 pricetag in half and I may bite on this gadget.
Here’s an 8 bottle dispenser that doesn’t look as nice and probably cost more. But it is French!
Frucopia

Thursday, March 15th, 2007
Sumseeds are sunflower seeds that come ’supercharged’ with caffeine, taurine, lysine and ginseng. No word on HGH, creatine or ephedra for the professionals.

Curl up in front of a fireplace on this skin and you’re likely to become a gooey mess.

Jack for gentlemen
Friday, March 2nd, 2007
Jack Daniels has their standard whiskey which you’ve probably had, their Gentlemen Jack which is a little more mellow and you may have had, and at the top, their Single Barrel whiskey, which you probably haven’t had. Single Barrel bottles are all individually tagged around the neck, describing which barrel they came from.
On the main Jack Daniels’ site you can register any commerative bottles. They need to bring this idea over to their currently horrible Single Barrel site. It would be fantastic if you could read notes from others who have a bottle from the same barrel. Great way to build an online community for any number of wine and spirit brands.
Wipe your fingers
Thursday, March 1st, 2007No more running from your office to your kitchen and trying to remember how many teaspoons allrecipes.com recommended. A glorified tablet PC, this concept seeks to make shopping and cooking easier by scanning bar codes on products you need, updating your recipe book, recommending meals, playing media, taking photos and of course, hanging neatly on the wall.
I’ve come to party!
