[via SlashFood] Who would have thought such a tiny, crunchy chocolate treat could cost so much? A single, brown M&M recently sold for $1500. Why? Because it went into space. It was part of Paul Allen's SpaceShipOne, which apparently made it more valuable.... Would it taste any better? Who knows... crazy!

It's a brown one (they're no longer made, but no matter) that left the Earth's atmosphere on June 21, 2004 aboard the first flight of Paul Allen's SpaceShipOne. It recently sold for $1,500. "Melts in your mouth, not on re-entry," would be a good tag line, what? I learned this bit of M&M arcana, along with many other interesting facts, by reading Dionne Searcey's article in today's Wall Street Journal about how going into space — especially to the moon — can multiply the value of ordinary objects many, many times over.

I'm pretty sure this one is in Japan.... but couldn't find much more info on it. It's the "Sumo Burger Challenge", a 6lb burger with 3lbs of meat and a bunch of toppings. The Challenge: eat it in 45 minutes or less and get your name on the "Wall of Fame". Shame there's no other prize, that's a pretty huge burger! I dig the soundtrack in the video though... hehe..

Only 1 minute? That sounds like a challenge! I suspect this is a sign from Pizza Hut (based on its flickr pools) but not sure. If you know where it's from, drop a comment! I wonder what the world record is for most pizza consumed in one minute... hmm...
