Anybody remember the episode of Malcolm in the Middle where Dewey gets a cotton candy maker and keeps making it and making it and then he realizes he’s trapped himself inside the huge walls of cotton candy he’s made? No one can hear him scream for help because he’s completely insulated by the cotton candy so he just shrugs it off and starts eating his way out.

That’s what I thought of when I saw this:

It’s a personal cotton candy maker that lets you create cotton candy out of hard candy! You can watch a video of this little baby in action here. Basically you can drop a piece of any flavor of hard candy into the little hole in the middle, the candy gets heated up, you swirl a stick around the perimeter of the bowl and viola! Delicious cotton candy in pretty much any flavor you could ever want. It even works with sugar-free candies.

I want this mother-fucker so bad! But I’m poor so I don’t see that I’m going to be able to dish out the $160.00 that it costs. Maybe some generous benefactor will gift me with one! That would be awesome. Until then, I will just have to dream of the day when I can trap myself within a delicious cave of cotton candy and eat my way out. But if that day ever comes, worry not! I promise to use sugar-free hard candies for my creation.

The McDonald’s in my area has two new sandwiches on their menu. One of the sandwiches is a new chicken breakfast biscuit and the other is called the ‘Southern Style’ chicken sandwich. Both sandwiches consist of a breaded chicken fillet and not much else. The breakfast biscuit is comprised of just the fillet on the biscuit and the ‘Southern Style’ sandwich is the fillet on a bun with pickles.

Do either of these sandwiches sound familiar? If so, you’re most likely familiar with Chick-fil-a and the delicious chicken sandwiches and chicken biscuits that they already perfected decades ago. I used to live near a Chick-fil-a and their sandwiches are the bomb. I moved a few years ago and if I want a Chick-fil-a fix now, I have to drive a few hundred miles for it.

The McDonald’s rip-off is pretty much identical to Chick-fil-a’s save for the chicken breast being slightly smaller. I can’t really complain because now I can get my Chick-fil-a on (kinda) without traveling too far but if I owned Chick-fil-a, I’d consider filing a McLawsuit.
