Awesome! This is a great addition to the Lester's Fixins line, which includes sweet corn, bacon, buffalo wing and peanut butter and jelly flavors.
But I prefer blue cheese soda. That's the right combination of creamy and tart.
What unusual soda flavor would you like to taste?

Beer is great and all, but don't you ever wish it could better remind you of your favorite pop group of the nineties made up of three brothers? Well, now you can have it all with Mmmhops, a beer crafted by the boys of Hanson with a name based on their one big, extremely catchy hit.You can catch a viewof the new product in the upcoming Hangover 3 film.
On the upside, at least part of the profits will be going to victims of the recent Oklahoma tornado.

Arizona Tea has partnered with Shaq to release a new line of cream sodas. They'll all come in 20 ounce "tall boy" cans because everything related to Shaq must be bigger...and because that's the standard size of Arizona teas I guess.
Personally, I'm going to get the strawberry because, let's face it, nothing makes you want to chug a beverage more than Shaq sticking his tongue out at you.
Sit down and relax. There's no hurry to finish your coffee at the Slow Time Cafe - you can stay as long as you'd like without the cafe staff glaring at you for taking up valuable seats. Heck, you can even bring your own food.
The catch? You have to pay by the minute:
Customers are charged €0.05 per minute, amounting to €3.00 an hour. When they come in the door, [cafe owner] Volkova gives them a wristband with the time marked on it. When they leave they hand it back and their bill is calculated to the minute.

The 99¢ Only Stores are great places to pick up cheap stuff, but also the best for spotting the funniest, strangest brands. Here are 8 candies that I'd never heard of before this past weekend. Anyone every try any of these? Leave a comment below and let us know!
1. Big Hunk
On the back, it reads "Bust it. Smack it." Um??
2. Belly Flops
Look what it says on the back! Basically, you're buying their rejects. Om no-thanks-m.
3. Warheads
Chewy cubes in a new bigger size! Wait, I think I missed the original size. Darn?
4. Super Cucharazo
Not sure what that is in the spoon, but I'm not buying it.
5. Texas Hold'Em
Almost bought these just for the tagline: Winner eats all!
6. Graffiti Taffy
At the bottom of the bag it says: "Different flavors every time!" Yeah, more reject candy... I don't think so.
7. 8 Chocolatey Covered Marshmallows
This candy is so sorry looking, it doesn't even have a real name!
8. Sweet'N Low
Don't like it in my coffee, so I'm probably not going to enjoy the "candy" version either. Oh, and surprise-surprise, it's "sugar free."
The best thing about pigs is that they're made of pork. The chef behind the blog Golosolandia has improved upon this design. These little pig-shaped loaves of bread are filled with pancetta, bacon and chorizo--all products of that wonderful, magical animal.

When life hands you too much cannabis you make pot infused bacon.
Top Shelf Organics, a medical marijuana grower in Washington State, found themselves with a bit of a dilemma. What should they do with all those leftover stems, roots, and over-sized cannabis leaves? In true cooperative fashion they donated the cannabis waste to Bucking Boar Farm for pig feed. The result was win, win for everyone, but the pig. The pot grower reduced their waste costs, the farmer got free feed, and the consumer got pot infused bacon.
The pot infused meat was sold through BB Ranch Meats in Pike Place Market.
The shop sold four pigs in various forms earlier this year, including with pot-infused bacon. The meat "tasted savory," von Schneidau said, adding that he has a small amount leftover that he's using to make into prosciutto.
Funny, I thought they would describe the meat as being more mellow.

You'd expect to find gold bullions inside the vast vault of The Credito Emiliano bank in Italy, but instead, you'd find something else just as valuable: Parmesan cheese.
Oddity Central explains:
Cash-for-cheese sounds more like a joke that a serious financial agreement, but in some regions of Italy it’s a reality. The famous Parmesan is so precious that some banks are willing to keep the cheese as collateral against loans to local producers.
The Credito Emiliano bank has hundreds of branches and thousands of employees around central and northern Italy. Its central offices look like those of any other banking institution, with cameras watching every angle, security doors to lock down the place and even a big vault in the back. Only you’re not going to find too many diamonds or hard cash stored in there. Instead, there are hundreds of thousands of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese wheels, neatly placed on giant shelves. The bank takes the Parmesan from local producers in exchange for a cheap loan, and charges a 3% interest as well as a fee for looking after the cheese and making sure it matures properly in the air-conditioned, humidified vault. It might seem strange, but Credito Emiliano treats Parmigiano-Reggiano like other banks do gold. And for good reason, as the mountains of cheese locked away in its secured vault are worth around $200 million.
Do Nathan Shields's human parasite pancakes contain actual parasites? Well, Mr. Shields doesn't write much about his creations. He just posts pictures and lets you guess.
To make crapsoup's deep fried ice cream delights, first bore out the centers of several green bananas. Fill the hole inside with sliced fresh cherries and chocolate syrup. Wet the bananas in an egg mixture, flour them, the fry them. Serve them with ice cream on a hot summer day.
They look so cute that I could just gobble them up! Panda bear cookies are a rolled cookie. Making them looks like a complex task, but you can find detailed instructions with photos at the link.

As if locusts weren't tasty enough already, the Café & Bar Ristorante Absente in Tokyo now serves them on spaghetti. Rocket News 24 reports:
In their press release, restaurant owner Pasta Dio would like to remind everyone that locusts are an excellent source of calcium, protein, and vitamin A and were used in Japan during times of war to fight malnutrition and save lives. They even claim that once you get past the initial heebie-jeebies, locusts actually have an addictive texture that makes you come back for more.
