it seems like a shame to waste a bunch of perfectly good ice cream, but if it’s for the sake of creating art then I guess it’s okay.

Actually, using a bunch of different colored ice creams instead of paint sounds like a delicious way to create an original work of art! 

Artist Othman Toma claims to paint mini masterpieces with different flavors of ice cream and popsicles, but there has been a bit of controversy surrounding Othman's works on Reddit, and not just because his artwork has started to attract ants.

Redditors claim the Iraqi artist couldn't possibly get such bright, clear colors by using ice cream, but who doesn't like a bit of mystery with their artwork?

Montreal will soon have a restaurant and bar that serves bacon food and bacon drinks in a bacon atmosphere. Anthoni Jodoin figured everyone would like a butcher shop-inspired eatery with plenty of bacon on the menu, and so he presents Bar Brutus, featuring bacon sandwiches, bacon hot dogs, bacon martinis, bacon vodka, bacon-wrapped everything else, and yes, even bacon poutine! Their Facebook page is in French, but it has plenty of pictures. Newsweek profiled the business, and says,

The restaurant will put a twist on beloved snacks and comfort food, including the very special 100 percent–bacon hot dogs, which Jodoin thinks are the tastiest item on the menu. In case you were worried about not being able to clog your arteries and get drunk at the same time on food, Bar Brutus has you covered with the Jagerpoutine—french fries topped with cheese, bacon and caramelized onions drizzled with a Jagermeister gravy.

Bar Brutus will be open as soon as it receives it liquor license. Meanwhile, we can dream. -via Geeks Are Sexy

It must be hard for young Japanese students to keep track of every single prefecture in Japan, since there are 47 in all, but one mom came up with a really fun way for her kids to keep track of them all while eating their lunch.

Twitter user Sasariri created these really cute bento box lunches featuring a map of the prefecture cut out of seaweed, and some include food products shaped like items associated with the region, like the carp-shaped windsocks of Kyoto or the Tokyo Tower.

Toothpaste has always served one major purpose. To get your teeth clean. But over time, toothpaste companies have often tried odd ways to bring in new clients by offering up strange alternatives. Like this color changing toothpaste, for example. But I will go on record to say that I think maybe, just maybe, Crest just jumped the toothpaste shark. A quick glance at the above photo will tell you all you need to know.

Apparently, Crest thinks we need to be more "adventurous, inspired, and dynamic, and they think we are going to be able to achieve that by indulging in, what sound to be, terribly flavored toothpaste varieties. When your toothpaste is bottle is telling you that you need to be more adventurous, and proceeds to pour a minty chocolate paste onto your brush, something is wrong. If you need to be more adventurous, maybe just go for a nice hike?

They are also offering vanilla mint (which truthfully, doesn't sound that awful) and a lime mint combo that sounds like something out of my foodie nightmares. We give Crest points for being brave, but this feels like jumping the shark to me, and I didn't even think toothpaste could do that.

This guy put a GoPro camera on his pizza tongs while he worked at a pizza parlor. What you’ll see is pizza after pizza coming out of the over all hot and tasty. It’s downright mesmerizing, and you’ll find yourself checking out the various ingredients and starting to crave a slice or two yourself. Oh look! That one has shrimp on it! There are some toippings I can't quite figure out, but they're most likely delicious anyway. Someone in the comments suggested that he next put the camera on the pizza slicer, but I would imagine that would be quite dizzying. -via Viral Viral Videos

It seems the sizes of soda cups in certain fast food chains has grown from cup sized single servings to barrells that a small army could live off of for three weeks. Japanese versions of the McDonalds chain is now offering a jumbo sized coke. But there is a slight catch, as you can see from the photo above. The drink is massive, but comes with a reminder that you are either destined to die alone, or that you at least have someone with you who loves you enough to take the journey to the other side with you.

There is, after all, nothing more romantic than the person who is willing to get diabetes with/for you, is there? Also, seems a great way for the fast food chain to remind people they should not be guzzling back that much carbonated sugar water by themselves. Either that, or remind them of the constant looming shadow that is is their epic loneliness.

Either or.

Amy of the food blog Oh, Bite It goes by the motto "a kitchen sink is the sign of a great day!" If you're lucky enough to attend one of her parties, you'll have a great time eating, drinking, or this case, both at the same time.

She made deep fried tequila shots by cubing pieces of angel food cake, dipping them into tequila, then deep frying the cubes until they were golden brown. To simulate the traditional salt, she dusted the shots with powdered sugar.

Are you hungry enough to eat a planet? Then this is the burger for you. Orbi Yokohama, a science museum in Japan, sells burgers with Earth-like buns. Show the planet how much you care by chomping away at it.

Because we have been married for 10 years, she did not even look at me funny when I proposed the idea.

Perhaps my saintly wife has come to understand me. Perhaps I've worn her down. In either case, I am a lucky man.

For you see, my taco pizza made with 3 whole Taco Bell tacos required her assistance to make. She makes perfect pizza dough, so I asked her to make me a batch.

Eggs are one of the most magical foods- they’re a great source of protein, totally delicious any which way they’re cooked, and they each come in their own handy hard-shelled carrying case.

People all over the world enjoy eggs, and surveys show that an inordinate amount of people still really like magic, so clearly the world needs someone to show us how to do magic with eggs.

BuzzFeed Video has come to the rescue with this informative tutorial video that shows 4 egg tricks that may seem like pure magic, but there's no sorcery involved- just science!

When folks are looking to have a fun time eating out they typically choose to meet up at a themed restaurant, usually something Hollywood, animal or historical era related, but a restaurant chain in Taiwan dared to be different by going full blown gross with their theme.

The chain is now called Modern Toilet, and as you can guess from their name they serve up all sorts of deliciously disgusting dishes in a dining room where guests sit on toilets, eat out of toilets, and sometimes pose for hilarious photos with the chain’s toilet mascots.

Here's what the restaurant's website has to say about this real stinker of an idea in themed dining:

We are a group of “muckrakers” following our dreams. It all started when one of us was reading the manga, Dr. Slump on the toilet – and the rest is history. In the beginning, we mainly sold ice cream – a big pile of chocolate ice cream sold in containers shaped like a squat toilet. By continuing to come up with great ideas and making improvements on old ones, we have expanded over the past few years from just ice cream into a fully-fledged theme restaurant with stores all over Taiwan.

Picture it: you're sitting on the freeway in traffic with the windows open, and the deliciously unmistakeable scent of bacon comes wafting into your car. Traffic is bumper-to-bumper, so you can't even take the nearest exit and hunt for a 24-hour diner to satisfy your increasing desire for some crispy strips. How are you going to release your bacon frustration? Easy — call the 800 number of Hormel, because it's probably their fault.

Hormel has manufactured the bike pictured above, which runs on biodiesel fuel derived from bacon grease and emits bacon-scented exhaust fumes. The bike will be featured in an upcoming documentary, Driven by Bacon, about a bacon-lovin' man who travels from Austin, Texas to San Diego, California. The doc will be presented to what is certain to be an enthusiastic crowd at the San Diego International Bacon Film Festival on August 29th.

Have you ever eaten a Cuban sandwich? A good Cuban is a delight! The typical ingredients are roast pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard. Put them in a bun and mash it under a hot sandwich press. Remove it from the press before attempting to eat.

The gastronomically adventurous staff at Thrillist made this corn dog with a Cuban flair. They deep fried it because, well, everything is better deep fried.

This is clever! It had never occured to me to use pineapple as a cooking tool. I should definitely try this the next time I have access to a grill.

Kristen of the food blog Make the Best of Everything sliced the bark off a pineapple, then bound it with twine around slices of mahi mahi. It takes a bit longer to cook than directly over the grill. But I suspect that it's worth it to infuse the fish with pineapple juice.

Pleated Jeans has rounded up 18 culinary obscenities that will kill you if you look at them directly. So, as when combating a Gorgon, use a mirror.

Pictured above is a pizza of imprecise origin, but known around the internet as a "real American pizza." Because it obviously is. Burgers, fries, and chicken nuggets are great as individual food items. So, logically, they would also be great pizza toppings.

I'll mentally stash this idea for the next time it's my turn to cook on date night with the wife.
