U.S. wars told through food fight

Food Fight is a short story about a handful of historical U.S. wars told through the foods of the involved countries. For example, burger and fries symbolize USA, pretzel and bratwurst is Nazi Germany, croissant is France, and sushi is Japan. It is chronologically re-enacted and includes World War II, the Cuban Missile Crisis, Viet Nam, 9/11, Afghanistan, and Gulf War II…to name a few. Filmed by Stefan Nadelman, it apparently took 3 months of stop motion filming. It’s incredible.

If you want a full list of the countries and their food representation, here. Now, on with the food fight:

Damn, I’m hungry.

Twinkie Bag: doesn’t taste as good

Probably more useful for the ladies, the Twinkie Bag can be used to store your makeup, money, keys, pen, pencils, etc. Unfortunately, unlike the real Hostess Twinkie, this bag isn’t edible. The outside is terrycloth and the inside lining is made of PVC vinyl. The Twinkie Bag features a zip top, so your stuff will be nicely secured inside.

It actually makes me crave eating some real Twinkies by just looking at it. One question though, “WHERE’S THE CREAM FILLING?”

Available at Juvie Shop for $17.
