In what sounds like an April Fool’s joke from the Onion, KFC is test marketing a new sandwich called the “Double Down”, featuring cheese and bacon between two slices of fried chicken:

Food blog So Good has more on this tempting abomination.

A brief interlude for lunch.

Yo, hangin with my marshmallow candy.

The Chicago Tribune’s Peeps on Parade has been updated for 2009 with new reader submissions of scenes featuring, uh… oh yeah. Marshmallow Peeps.

It should surprise no one that there’s a rendition of The Last Supper in there:

Decaf, shmecaf.

Remember those “Wacky Packages” stickers from the ’70s?

Oh, so that’s what the bucket is for.
