Looks like Bacon Candy has gone commercial! Coming from humble beginnings, it seems the flavor has caught on enough for it to be packaged and marketed by Vosges Chocolate. $7 a block. Anyone tried this?

This cake is made from 100% awesome. It's the Muppet Show Cake. Created for the 2007 Kentucky State Fair (where it won the Blue Ribbon), it's got all the usual suspects from The Muppet Show. The detail is amazing! One of the best cakes I've ever seen. I don't know if I could bring myself to eat Beaker though!

Maybe not Supersized in stature, but definately Supersized in the number of bytes! These USB drives come in 1Gb and 2Gb sizes and look like familiar baked treats. Choose between a Freshly Baked Sandwich, Hot Dog, Pizza, French Bread Stick, or Hamburger. Probably don't smell as good as the real thing though... and a bit more expensive, $59.99ea for 2Gb, $39.99 for 1Gb

ST. LOUIS, Missouri (AP) -- The people who brought you the Monster Thickburger and the 1,100-calorie salad are at it again -- this time for breakfast. Hardee's on Monday rolled out its new Country Breakfast Burrito -- two egg omelets filled with bacon, sausage, diced ham, cheddar cheese, hash browns and sausage gravy, all wrapped inside a flour tortilla. The burrito contains 920 calories and 60 grams of fat.

Back in 2006 at the "Tailgating in the Upstate" show, Hardee's held a Thickburger eating competition. The person who could eat the most Thickburgers in 10 minutes scored a free grill and a years supply of Hardee's Thickburgers. The winner ended up eating 6 of them, but only after rolling them up into a ball and eating them afterwards! New Competitive Eating strategy? Interesting, but kinda gross...

Hardee's Thickburger Eating Contest - Winner ate 6 1/3LB burgers!

Ah, I can't lie to you guys, it's a fake. But apparently you score two free ones if you take it into Chipotle at Richmond and Sage. I wonder if anyone has made one that big?

Mooncakes, a Chinese pastry traditionally eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. They usually taste pretty average, so I can't imagine they'd taste any better if they were shaped like a phone? But then again, what appeals to the eye can sometimes translate to the palate. Geeks celebrate, with your genuine Nokia branded Mooncake!

These are edible mooncakes (a type of Chinese pastry for Mid-Autumn festival) for geeks. And it all appears to be of the Nokia brand.

In this Food Challenge Friday Challenge, Luis tries to eat an entire Sara Lee cheesecake in 2 minutes. Could you do an entire cheesecake in 2 minutes? If you can, YouTube it and send it in!

Luis makes an attempt on a Sara Lee cheesecake in two minutes. Coming off of two previously failed challenges, maybe third times a charm?

[via Erin Cooks] Like the Bacon Apple Pie? Then you might just like Bacon/Lettuce/Tomato scented candles! Make your house smell like a cheap diner with these flaming creations. Doesn't necessarily mean because it smells good, it tastes good though...

Bacon = Freedom; Lettuce = Love; Tomato = Passion. I've invented Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato votive candles. Maybe I'm crazy, but here's how my mind works: I love the smell of bacon cooking. I fantasize about having bacon grilling on the stove day and night. In my philosophic musings I asked myself what is better than a BLT? As much as I try, I can't eat a BLT at every meal and I can't grill bacon 24 hours a day.
