Did you know that baby carrots are made from full-size carrots?

I didn’t know that until I saw this tweet yesterday.

The bite-sized vegetable snack makes for a crunchy appetizer. But how do baby carrots get on your plate? https://t.co/TWBGo8DV6u

Gorbachev and Trump made Pizza Hut commercials

Food spill videos

Today’s tweet on the Alfredo sauce spill is why I decided to look further.

Firesign Theatre had the line “There’s hamburger all over the highway in Mystic, Connecticut.”

Buon appetito 🫙

An overturned truck spilled hundreds, if not thousands, of jars full of alfredo sauce on a highway in Memphis. It smelled delicious until it didn’t. https://t.co/Jq3A9idTfL pic.twitter.com/7Z3IFhNjRu

We are aware of the Yankee fan and the hot dog ‘straw’. We appreciate your privacy at this time as we try to construct a reason as to why this would occur. It’s the wurst and frankly, he should be ashamed.

The history of the ice cream cone

The history of the ice cream cone is complicated

I was today years old when I found out that the ice cream cone was invented by Syrian-American immigrant Ernest Hamwi who, while making zalabiyeh next to an ice cream stand, suggested they combine forces. He opened the Missouri Cone Company in 1910.

Tang, Pop Rocks, Cool Whip and Jello were invented by one person

I remember Tang promoting its connection with NASA in the 1960s.

I ordered bialys online

I remember Bialys from my childhood. I hadn’t had them in about 40-50 years. They’re about the size of a bagel but taste more like pizza crust. I ordered a dozen online from Kossar’s in New York through Goldbelly and they were delivered the next day. I got three each of four different kinds – sesame, onion, tomato, and garlic. When I was young, we only had onion ones.

The bialys were excellent.
