With 66% of Americans obese compared to 47% in the 1970s, it's interesting to compare typical food portions today with those of two decades earlier. The "damage" isn't just that the amount of food and calories has increased; so has the idea of what constitutes a "normal" portion. See more at the above link.
How great is this? Six thousand Australians (from a reported 190,000 applicants) were chosen to enjoy Sunday morning breakfast on the Sydney Harbor Bridge.
This was not a trivial thing. Aside from shutting the bridge down, you can see they laid grass across the entire span upon which to sit and enjoy the meal. What a cool thing for a major city to do! More pictures at the above link.
Coke with bacon? I'm not so sure about that. How about bacon floss? Or even squeeze bacon (ugh!). These and many more at the above link.
You think viagra is strange? (And how does one know if it really tastes like viagra anyway?) That's nothing. There's octopus, potato, charcoal and others at the above link.
Ten of them at the above link. I think a lot of people knew about the Puffer Fish and certain mushrooms, but cherries? Potatoes? Almonds?
Egads! Maybe I should just eat fast food. Oops, no, that's on the list, too.
