Bubblicious Ink’d: perhaps the first time a candy dyes your tongue blue on purpose and then brags about it.

And plus it has that cool urban spelling which the kids rave about: Ink’d.

A friend and I chew’d a pack . . .

Look Out For: Cupcakes

Monday, March 31st, 2008

New York’s famous Magnolia Bakery has been serving up legendary cupcakes for over 12 years. And now the rest of the nation is finally catching up with a good idea: everybody digs cupcakes. Be prepared, the cupcake tsunami is coming this Summer – “cupcakeries” are cropping-up everywhere.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, a bzillion new cupcake joints will be opening their doors this Summer. In my neighborhood, Festin’s Bakery will be setting up cupcakety goodness in the Stanford (University) Shopping Center. And our hopes are that the more established local cupcakeries, such as Sibby’s Cupcakery (photo above), will ride this trend and expand to new locations (like next door to my house).

The rockstar of the cupcake world:
The elusive “red velvet” cupcake. Try to find one, you will thank me.

Perhaps the internet cupcake authority:
Cupcakes Take The Cake – an entire blog dedicated to the magical sprinkley world of cupcakes.

BPOW: Bacon & Cheese Crick-ettes

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Bacon & Cheese Crickettes - Blogadilla.com

That’s right folks….bacon and cheese flavored crickets. These are made by a company called HotLix, a specialty candy company that has an entire line of insect candies, such as Chocolate Insects, Real Scorpion Suckers, and Larvets. Any takers for a Tequila-flavored Worm Sucker?

Big shout out to Blogadilla reader billb, who sent us what is definitely our weirdest Bacon Product of the Week to date. Can any of you out there one up him? Keep posting your bacon finds in the comments!

Walk It Out, Peeps

Monday, March 24th, 2008

In honor of Easter (albeit a day late), and to combine a few favorite Blogadilla themes (Walk It Out, Gwen; Peep Show and Microwave Oven vs. Easter), I present to you this awesome video of our beloved Peeps (who are gluten free, FYI) “Walkin It Out.”  Enjoy!
