Caprice Beach Volleyball 2011 – As Can Be Expected
07 Mar 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
I’m not going to pretend that the Caprice Beach Volleyball Tournament was packed with revolting-looking people and everyone was bored. As much as I don’t want you to feel bad if you didn’t make it, IT WAS EPIC. Well done to the Savages who took the glory! I got that pic of the girl from [...]

The Pinncale Of Culinary Technology: Cheese & Scallion Rocketships
03 Mar 2011 by liam kruger / No Comments
Well, I’m pretty proud of that headline. Cornell University and the French Culinary Institute have developed a food printer that runs off puree and spits out sculptures – like rocketships made of gouda and scallions. And now we can have coconut sans awful coconut texture.

Picnics At The Roundhouse
03 Mar 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 4 Comments
I’m not sure how readily the service is available, but La Muse and I took (stole) one of the picnic baskets from The Roundhouse to the beach this weekend. We indulged in the likes of their homemade truffle cream cheese, spread on ciabatta, with shaven ham and oysters on the side. Naturally there was a [...]

K-Bomb Peanuts At Giovanni’s
25 Feb 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
Popped into Giovanni’s last night to grab some snackaroos, following an epic evening at Cape Town’s Design Indaba (loved the MINI stand – which let’s you design your own MINI). So La Muse and I picked up some cold meats and salads, as you do, and headed to the counter to pay. Lo and behold, [...]

Always Home Boning
24 Feb 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
That’s how they’re rolling in Game stores at the moment. This genuine in-store signage was spotted by 2oceansviber Casey A, who was no doubt in the store to get a 90cm Telefunken plasma for thirty bucks. Luckily her trip was made all the more enjoyable, with this beaut! Naturally this post will be going straight [...]

Belgians Not Big On Market Research
16 Feb 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
It’s quite full-on, this one – and it certainly doesn’t need any explanation. I mean, you GET the humour, right? It would have been one thing if the label was on a 6-pack of eggs. Because a male chicken is a cock, and it would kind of make sense that the eggs are ‘cock’s fresh.’ [...]

Stop Everything – The Coca-Cola Recipe Has Been Leaked [Updated]
15 Feb 2011 by silverstreak / 4 Comments
But not by Julian Assange. This American Life reports that the recipe was published as a photograph on page 28 of the Atlantic Journal-Constitution newspaper in 1979 as part of an inconspicuous historical piece on the Coca-Cola company, but the small size of the newspaper, the poor placement of the article and a complete lack of the World Wide Web meant that the historical leak went unnoticed. You can see it after the jump.

So Beer Marshmallows Are A Thing Now.
11 Feb 2011 by liam kruger / No Comments
Well this seems like a good way to end the week/start the weekend. Beer-batter marshmallows. I don’t know how I feel about these things, taste-wise, but in terms of taking something awesome and then coating it in something else that’s awesome, beer marshmallows get my stamp of approval.

08 Feb 2011 by Bearded Wiseman / No Comments
In a great example of irony, two McDonald’s executives have decided to throw the concept of fast food on its head and launch a chain of healthy restaurants. However, more ironic is the name that has been given to the chain: Lyfe. You are not going to believe this.

The Pub Lunch – The Everyman’s Bargain
07 Feb 2011 by silverstreak / No Comments
Look, there’s no doubt that a fine dining experience can be a memorable occasion. But there comes a time in a man’s working week, and sometime’s in a woman’s, even, when a sinking realisation settles in the pit of your stomach. We’re talking about the need to have a “chow” and where you can get one with a draught beer for under fifty bucks.

07 Feb 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
It is not known what sparked off this very-public in-store mockery, but Pick n Pay has clearly got something against Tiger Brands and, in particular ‘Enterprise’ – their meat products range. Apparently Pick n Pay reckons that Enterprise Renown “Spreads Ass.” We caught up with Enterprise Foods’ Marketing Executive, Sonja Botha, for comment. Click link [...]

No doubt reaching for a sun exposed bottle of warm water will be met with upturned noses and precautionary words. So, hit them with the truth.

Wow. I’m not sure what the appropriate response is here. Finnish folk referring to themselves as the ‘Food Liberation Army’ have ‘kidnapped’ a statue of Ronald McDonald, and are threatening to execute within a week if their questions concerning the quality of McDonald’s food production are not answered.

SuperSpar Selling Ass Logs
02 Feb 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
We’ve covered a lot of Ass-Flavoured Products on this website and have noticed great progress for this alternative, yet popular flavour. From hot and cold drinks, to cleaning products and even lighters, it seemed the ass flavour could be applied to anything. But it’s one thing giving everything an ass ‘edge,’ a completely different thing [...]

02 Feb 2011 by liam kruger / No Comments
“Hey guys. I’m Gary Thomas. Welcome to The Waiting Room. We’re going to play you some music, in case you were wondering about all…this.” So began Gary Thomas’ Long Street gig last night. It stayed awkward, but the music got better as the night went on.
