Attack of the Conjoined Produce

What's better than one average strawberry?

How about two ripe, juicy berries fused together to make one giant, Siamese strawberry? Or perhaps you were looking for young bananas in love, mutant melons or carrots that can tango.

Slashfood's sister site Urlesque scoured the Web and found an array of conjoined fruits and vegetables, from spooning bananas to two-eared corn.

Buildings That Look Like Food

To the seriously food-obsessed, anything can seem like a snack. For example, yellow sponges can evoke thoughts of Swiss cheese, and tennis balls can inspire dreams of green apples.

But there are some inedible objects that really are meant to resemble food, including these buildings that our buddies at Urlesque rounded up. Why? Well, uh, who wouldn't want to enter a building that looks like it was made of a wall of bacon?

Editors' Picks -- Best of the Rest

A few of the best stories we've spied elsewhere on the Web this week:

Not everyone is loving the attention Julie Powell (of Julie and Julia) is getting. Gawker sums it up.

The Gluten Free Girl waxes poetic about the Northwest's incredible heat wave, her hatred of the Yankees, and a cornbread she adores.

Our sibling site Shelterpop discovers a treasure trove of gorgeous Danish peppermills.

The Huffington Post picks the top 10 U.S. cities for eating locally. Vote for the one you think should win!

Rubix cube on rye, anyone? Urlesque discovers, yes, Insanewiches.

Gourmet writer Francis Lam gets his hands dirty at a Chinese barbecue joint in suburban Toronto, Canada.

French Push Pop Ad Pushes Propriety Levels



We all know that French ads are a bit more saucy and racy, but does this hilariously absurd one push the limit? Fellow blog Urlesque cries out, "Someone should probably be arrested for making this commercial featuring French kids and push pops." I'm wondering whether or not this push pop candy still exists. While I remember it from my childhood, I cannot recall any of its ads, certainly nothing like this.

Apart from the perhaps unintentional suggestions of the kids' gestures, the ad seems to promote the candy as a way to break up fights. Instead of fighting back after being incited, the boy tells him not to push him, but to push a push pop instead. Can candy breakup fights? How do you make sense of this wacky ad?

Tip of the Day
