- Last night I learned that the Satellite Market near Disneyland is still there, but the Sputnik-style sign has been replaced. Old & new photos.
- Side salad vs. fries study: Adding a healthier option caused people to choose the unhealthy option more often. It’s made me a lot more aware of what I order for lunch.
- Spam apparently advertising speed bumps: “Women won’t hide their excitement when they see your bulge in the street”

Carbs
Bread bowl pasta: in case you had any doubt that the low-carb craze was over.
Coffeechocolatea
I’m trying to make 8-hour old coffee palatable by adding both chai tea and hot chocolate mix. It’s…palatable.
Organic Air!
From @WholeFoods:
Try this week’s Sure Deal: 365 Everyday Value Organic Air – only $6.99!
Didn’t President Scroob have one of those?
Update: The original link is gone, but it’s archived at the Hoax Museum.
Teriyaki Hamburger Sandwiches!
All right! I love teriyaki hamburger sandwiches! (No, seriously, I do. Red Robin’s teriyaki burger, Ruby’s Aloha Burger, and similar menu items are standbys for me.)
Sadly, I don’t think that’s what they’ll actually serve here.
Battlestar Galacticake
BSG Cake – Angled, originally uploaded by alenxa.
For last night’s BSG finale, Katie made a cake in the form of the Battlestar Galactica itself! More photos and making-of tidbits in the Battlestar Galacticake set.
And yes, it tasted good too!
Hey, Kids! Sugar!
Spotted this in mid-August, during the height of Back to School sales. It’s a school bus-shaped display with shelves on the sides and back. Katie’s fairly certain that the other shelves weren’t all Rice Krispies treats — they were Pop Tarts and the like.
So, yeah, send your kids to school with a ton of these. Their teachers will just love it.
<voice=”cranky old man”>Of course, back in my day, we didn’t have those pre-made Rice Krispies Treats. We had to buy the cereal and marshmallows and make them ourselves. (And frankly, without all the extra preservatives, it was probably more healthy. Or less unhealthy, in any event.)</voice>
(Yeah, still catching up on photo posts.)
