Smell Like Breakfast with Eau De Toast




This toast perfume comes from The Federation of Bakers who made the special limited edition scent for London Fashion Week. The idea was to challenge the notion that bread isn’t good for you and to encourage people to once again put toast on the table at breakfast. All their free samples are gone, so you’ll have to be content with toasting up a few slices of the real thing and rubbing it all over your body.

300 Sandwiches for an Engagement Ring


New York Post journalist, Stephanie Smith, truly believes the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. After her boyfriend told her she is 300 sandwiches away from an engagement ring, Stephanie got cooking and started a blog to document her progress. She is currently at sandwich #176.

Stephanie says her relationship to her boyfriend, “Alexander SkarsgĂ„rd look-alike” Eric, has always been centered on food. They met at a restaurant, he cooked her dinner on their second date, and they’ve hosted numerous dinner-parties together, so she knew how important food was to him. And there was nothing he liked more than sandwiches. “To him, sandwiches are like kisses or hugs. Or sex,” the young journalist says. The two New-Yorkers had been going steady for about a year and even moved into a cozy apartment together, but Stephanie was wondering what it would take for Eric to finally pop the big question. She found the answer one day, after she made him her her first a turkey on whole wheat bread, with mustard, lettuce and swiss cheese. “Honey, this is the best sandwich ever!” Eric told her in between bites. When he was done, he dropped the bomb on her: “You’re, like, 300 sandwiches away from an engagement ring.” That was it, the secret to the marriage proposal she had been dreaming of. Stephanie didn’t really know hot to cook, but she was willing to learn and she wasn’t one to back down from a challenge.

She started the 300-sandwich-challenge with an easy ice-cream sandwich and moved on from there, but at about ten sandwiches into the project, she realized things were moving at a slow pace. She was already in her mid 30′s and making just three sandwiches a week wasn’t going to wing her the engagement ring too soon. “How would I finish 300 sandwiches in time for us to get engaged, married and have babies before I exited my childbearing years?” she asked herself. So the young journalist stepped up her game, making snacks for breakfast, lunch and dinner and whenever she wanted to get herself out of the dog house. So far she has cooked 176 different sandwiches for Eric, and learned a whole lot about food in the process. Her creations have grown more complex with each month, but Stephanie says her boyfriend smiles and says “thank you” regardless of what’s on the menu. “You women read all these magazines to get advice on how to keep a man, and it’s so easy,” he told her. “We’re not complex. Just do something nice for us. Like make a sandwich.”


Stephanie says that the experience has brought her and Eric closer together. They enjoy doing the groceries together and planning dinners, and although Smith still wants a ring on her finger and live happily ever after, she says she has put a lot less pressure on the 300 sandwich race, instead enjoying every moment they spend together cooking.

You can buy a barrel of Jack Daniel's at Sam's Club




Wholesale warehouses are where it's at for pricey booze these days. $17,000 bottle of Macallan at Costco? How about an entire BARREL (and not the kind those awesome cheese balls come in) of whiskey at Sam's Club.

The barrel above was spied by Redditor domantor1 and, believe it or not, it's the bargain of the bunch. One of the first JD barrels spied was nearly $10,000, while another in Lincoln, Nebraska was spotted for almost $9000. Now obviously that's Ed Begley Jr.-type money, but it will last basically forever, especially if you're the type of responsible drinker who buys entire barrels of whiskey. So do yourself a favor and find a bunch of buddies with deep pockets to go sixteenth-skies with you on this thing.

Cheeseburger-Stuffed Crust Pizza in UK


These days, it seems everyone’s trying to have their cake and eat it too. Can’t decide if you want a salad or ice cream? No problem! Donut or croissant with your coffee? You got this. Pizza or Burger? Cheeseburger-Stuffed Crust Pizza, duh.

Pizza Hut UK is getting a limited-time Cheeseburger Pizza Crust featuring soft crust pockets filled with mini beef patties fixed with mozzarella cheese. The new item comes with a side of ketchup dip and can be covered with your favorite toppings.

If this novelty pie is giving you dĂ©jĂ  vu, it’s because you seen it before. Last year, Pizza Hut locations in the Middle East got their own “Cheeseburger Crown Crust” pizza. Both versions are pretty similar, the only main difference being that the Middle East’s came drizzled in the chain’s “special sauce” and also offered a chicken fillet option.

This is what happens when you leave a job at Arby's


After four long, roast beef-soaked years of working at her local Arby’s, Redditor chopieseeves was ready to throw away her name tag and move on to bigger and better things. The food service industry, as far as we know, has been good to chopie: She met her future maid of honor (also a coworker at Arby’s) during her stint and she was able to support herself while she earned a degree in veterinary technology.

So, it was up to chopie’s bestie to send her away from the world of drive-throughs and greasy sandwiches in style, and she didn’t disappoint (see above).

Honestly, what more could you ask for in a best friend? That girl really knows how to say “you’re special” while also saying “you’re dead to us” in such a subtle way.
