Sometimes wrong is oh so right.
There are the pumpkins. There are the fall-reddened maple leaves. And there’s the blob of diarrhea-like pudding that claims to be pumpkin spice Jell-o. Lots of artificial flavor, NO artificial sweeteners — so you know it’s healthy. Same great taste as — as what? As pumpkin spice that grows in the wild?
Thank you to Jenna for this photo, which in the epic catalogue of pumpkin spice-flavored food, is not even that bad.
Well, given that women are biologically incapable of using the same soap or shaving gel or dumbbells as men (ours have to be pink or we drop them), it stands to reason that we cannot eat the same energy mix as men. Men’s food gives them the energy to build the world, boss people around, criticize stuff, and make up stupid products to sell to women. Women’s snacks make them…. glow.
(Thanks for the folks who pointed out that this was a snack, not coffee!)
Thanks to Amy for her fieldwork!
Just in case you think I’m about to make fun of maple syrup: I’m a proud, passport-carrying, apologizing Canadian. Of course I’m not going to make fun of maple syrup. I am going to make fun of the State of Vermont. Now, I have nothing against Vermont, it’s a beautiful state, but it must be hard being so close to Canada. It’s just inviting comparisons, and who can measure up to Canada in the maple syrup game? So I’m not surprised that Vermont is feeling a little, how shall we put it, inadequate on the syrup front. It’s almost like Vermont is trying to tell us something about its ability to produce buckets of syrup. I just — I just can’t put my finger on it though.
Thanks to Kate N. for this, whose breakfasts apparently can’t be beat for hilarity.
Toronto is a fantastic food city. Just about every dining option you can imagine is available. Including, apparently, Howard.
Tasty, tasty Howard.
(Thanks for this, Vanessa!)
Finally, a good name for my East European all-girl funk’n’soul band.
Thank you, Merry, for the submission!

Mix a bit of Swahili and Portuguese for an interlingual pun that means “this is a random foreign ingredient you’re vaguely uncomfortable buying — what will you do with it anyway? — but we’ll remind you of a Disney cartoon so you feel a little safer.”
Thanks, Ari, for the snap!

This was on special at a restaurant in Berlin today. Look at the third menu item. Now look at the restaurant name. Can you tell why I’m worried?
