When cakes go wrong

I recently attended a first birthday party where the cake read, “Happy 1th birthday!”

But this mistake is nothing compared to this completely NON-age appropriate cake for “Lil Derrick” that I saw on Cake Wrecks. This is for a 4-year-old!

Did they play pimp slap the donkey at this party?

This just seems wrong to me

Gingerbread men should not be married with kids.

I’ll have what’s she having

Gymnast and Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson is the epitome of wholesome. Is she the victim of a clueless production team who made this commercial or a sly copywriter? Or do I have a sick mind? You be the judge. Thanks to Lynn for sending me this video (I think).

Reference for the title of this post. Still funny after all these years, and mmmm, Katz Deli… Warning: contains not safe for work content.

Two great tastes that DON’T taste great together

When I read about a cheeseburger topped with pastrami, I knew I had to visit a Crown Burgers location in Salt Lake City. I love both cheeseburgers and pastrami and was eager to try the two together.

Well, the title of this post probably gave it away, but alas, Crown Burgers’s signature sandwich didn’t live up to my expectations. I expected the saltiness of the pastrami to bring out the flavor of the beef, but the two just overwhelmed each other.

I do like knowing that something as ridiculous as a pastrami cheeseburger exists in the world.

Crown Burgers introduced me to another new taste. I never knew regional foods included condiments until I encountered Utah’s beloved fry sauce. To me, it was merely glorified Thousand Island dressing, but to each his own, right?

I don’t even want to think what was going on in my arteries that night.

What the fizzle?

“I need everyone’s best thinking about how we can successfully promote the Speed Racer movie.”

“Uh, how about carbonated yogurt?”

“Brilliant!”

Fizzix has been around for awhile, but I never noticed it until the “Limited Edition Speed Racer Tubes!” (I guess the marketers weren’t entirely wrong.) I was intrigued by the thought of fizzy yogurt, but not so much that I wanted to buy a case and try the product. Lucky for you, the writer of Cheap Eats did.

“What fresh hell is this?”

Behold the lamb of…butter

My friend Lynn sent this photo to me as part of her Easter greetings. How cute…until the butter knife gets involved.

Say it with…seafood?

Apparently my local grocer feels a great way to express your love this Valentine’s Day is with a heart-shaped(!) box of shrimp.
