Oddka - Inspiring Foodies, Mixologists & Hipster Millennials (video)

Electricity, Wasabi, Apple Pie, Fresh Cut Grass, Salty Caramel Popcorn, And Original are the flavors of a creative new line of vodka by Pernod Ricard. This sounds like hipster vodka to me! Unique flavors, an upside down moustached man who actually has a whole personality that lives on Facebooktwitter and in TV interviews (see video below). Oh and you can't overlook the really cool bottle design. 

"ODDKA was created for the individual who seeks brands that are confident, expressive and challenge the norms, just like they do," said Maxime Kouchnir, vice president, Pernod Ricard USA. "We are excited about the initial release of ODDKA in select states and sharing our curious approach with these individuals and provoking their senses."


Here's how Wit describes the unique flavors:
Original: I once meditated for a week. Afterwards I came up with the idea of a vodka-flavoured vodka. An idea so fresh, so elegant, so smooth, I couldn’t believe it hadn’t been thought of before. When I discovered it had, I thought I’d make it anyway.

Electricity: Ever wondered what a bolt of lightning tastes like? Me too. That’s why I created this shockingly good tongue-tickling vodka. Now lightning can strike as often as you like.

Salty Caramel Popcorn: I love the movies, though personally I’ve never seen the appeal of those 3D ones. If this flavour was a film it would be a caramel comedy with a sea salt subplot and a warm, feel-good ending.

Fresh Cut Grass: One day my llama distracted the janitor when he was mowing my factory lawn and there was an accident. A fortuitous accident with a crisp and citrusy outcome.

Wasabi: At Ninja school I was taught the saying, ‘The Wasabi-eating Ninja Laughs Last’. I’m still trying to figure out what it means, but in the meantime have created this fiery flavour to creep up on your taste buds. Enjoy.

Apple Pie: Inspired by Grandma Oddoski’s famous apple pies. I gave her my word I would never reveal her secret ingredient. This sweet tasting apple and cinnamon flavour vodka is a tribute to that promise.

The elegant and smooth Original Oddka (40% alc./vol., 80 proof) and the new five sensory-pleasing flavors (30% alc./vol., 60 proof) sell for a suggested retail price of $15.99.

And to reach even more hipster millennials, they even have a ODDstache app available on iTunes where you can grow your own ODDstache like spokesman Wit Oddoski.

Cut Food Photography

We all eat and drink, but have you ever wondered what your food and drink really look like from the middle? Cut Food is a photo series by New York-based photographer Beth Galton in collaboration with food stylist Charlotte Omnès. I'm curious as to how they captured some of these, but I suppose that is what makes them the artists. The milk swirl in the coffee and ramen are spectacular.

How Many Licks Does It Take To Get The The Center Of The Coffee Table?

Lanzavecchia + Wai created a whole set of edible furniture, Austerity Edible Furniture, for the Milan Furniture Fair. I can imagine it was a sticky affair. 

The Hard Candy coffee table has a top made from a huge hard-boiled sweet that leaves one saucer at the end of each leg after it has been nibbled away.

Twenty-four kilograms of white chocolate was formed around a stool to create the Chocolate chair.

A table top baked into a cracker balances on stacked tins of corned beef, which can be removed as the table is munched to leave a simple tray.

Domino's Live & Uncut Takes Corporate Transparency To The Next Level (video)

Domino's has taken a lot of steps recently to regain their position in the pizza market. They have aired several tv commercials that talk about the truth of how their pizza wasn't stacking up against the competition. Now they really want to be transparent about the quality of their food. Check this out...you can actually watch your, yes, YOUR pizza being made - if you live in Salt Lake City.

Would you order a pizza just to watch it be made on a live stream? I like the "transparency" effort to show the quality and care that goes into making the pizza, but I'm not sold on ordering a pizza just to see it be made. Gimmicky.

Nuked Nation

18 April 2013 | By Cheryl Swanson

We’ve all used a microwave at some point in our culinary adventures. From popcorn to pizza, soups to last night’s leftovers, the microwave has changed the “modern” kitchen and heavily influenced our food culture.

What 2000 Calories Looks Like (video)

The FDA recommends consuming 2000 calories a day and bases nutrional labelling on this. But really? Most people do not need to consume 2000 calories a day. Here's a fun video at what 2000 calories looks like. 

I'd have to go with bacon and carrots!
