Now this is kewl... this costume house has a bunch of costumes, but a whole HEAP of food themed fancy dress costumes. Pies, Tacos, Hot Dogs, French Bread Buns, Twinkies, Cookies, Cakes, and they look fantastic too! One question though... can you still wear them if you don't have a moustache? There's 42 different ones, here are my favorites...

A Japanese TV show recently did a report on the Heart Attack Grill. Strange to see the owner speaking in Japanese though. But wtf is up with the interviewer that looks like Ziggy Stardust wearing a crown? Crazy!

Ever made a doll house for your kids? Sure, it might last a few years, but I bet it wouldn't be much fun trying to eat it. Not like these houses! Made from french fries, sweets, biscuits and cereal, these houses would be a lot more fun to eat than that old Barbie Mansion!

What can one do with French fries, sweets and cookies other than eating them up? Well, you can have some fun by using them as materials for creating villages, bridges, etc. More of such creations after the jump!

They say, "If you've got it, flaunt it", but I don't know if you'd want to be waving this around at the local gym... it's BlingH20, the World's Most Expensive Water. This oppulent refresher contains water from Tennesee, (?!?), but is more importantly housed in a frosted 750ml glass bottle exquisitly handcrafted with Swarovski Crystals. At around $40/bottle, just don't leave it on the treadmill!

McDonalds in Japan have had their 4 patty Mega Mac now for some time, and it looks like they're testing the waters in California. They recently released "The Angus Third Pounder", a burger that contains between 720 calories to 860 calories, and it looks like people are gobbling it up! Although it's still early days, signs seem positive. Will McDonalds go back to selling real burgers instead of salads?

TOLUCA LAKE, Calif. - McDonald’s is fattening up its menu, testing the concept of putting one-third of a pound of beef on a bun. It would be its biggest burger yet. The Angus Third Pounder is being tested in California. It tastes like really big, super-sized Big N' Tasty. The patty is a little bit like a bigger, better Quarter Pounder. The question is, What took so long? When it comes to so-called premium burgers, McDonald’s is following the herd.

Shane Webcke, a legend in Australian Rugby League football. Coming from the country, he knows what a good steak should taste like, and how big it should be. So when Shane bought the Royal Hotel in Leyburn, Queensland, he made sure there was a meal big enough to satisfy his appetite. And thus, the Webcke Rump was born. AU$22. With the meal weighing in at around 1.7kg, this would have to be one of the cheapest and biggest meals you'll find!

So last week, on the way back from a wedding in Goondiwindi (congrats Simon and Chon!), I thought I'd stop in there for a bite to eat...
