Giant QR Code Cake

Alex

This is probably the world's tastiest QR code ever! To celebrate New Year, Chinese Internet company Tencent commissioned a giant cake shaped like a QR code and served it to 20,000 people:

The cake, which takes up a floor area of 36 square meters and weighs three tons, was produced by Tencent, an Internet and smartphone value-added service provider, and Ebeecake, a local bakery. It took ten hours to finish the QR code pattern on the cake's surface. By scanning the QR code pattern, smartphone users can download and install Tencent's news service client onto their gears.

The bacon suit isn't actually for sale; it's part of an Archie McPhee April Fool's Day tradition, where they put up a fake site selling fake items(fake gag items - how ironic!), like a parachute for babies.

This is a ripoff of an old "The State on MTV" episode from the early 1990's. Thomas Lennon (Reno 911) did a sketch were he loved bacon. He drank bacon, and even wore bacon.

Still...the bacon suit is neat.

Archie McPhee has the best items I've ever seen just for fun. Their supplier (Accoutrements) makes awesome famous people actions figures too, if you're into that sort of thing.
