The First Godiva Café in the US

It’s not like Godiva stores in that the café serves actual food. OMG, I’m stoked for this to spread across the nation! I LOVE Belgian chocolate and Godiva is my FAVE of them! …For now, it’s only living at New York City’s Pennsylvania Station.

To see what magic happens at Godiva Cafes in Japan, read my blog post about Sakura Season 2019.

Taco Bell $1 Loaded Nacho Taco

Starting April 4th, these will be on the Taco Bell menu. They’ll be made with a tortilla filled with seasoned beef, lettuce, cheddar cheese, and nacho cheese sauce and feature Taco Bell's new Southwest Seasoned Chips.

Olive Garden’s Big Balls (and Chicken Parm)

Olive Garden just supersized four of their menu items:

  • The Giant Meatball: .75 lb (about the weight of two baseballs)

  • The Chicken Parm: now a foot-long

  • Then, there’s the Four-Cheese Stuffed Shells and Shrimp Stuffed shells… both also supersized.

Now… is this timed with the Never Ending Pasta Pass…?

Mountain Dew + Game of Thrones Packaging (Now Gone)

Inspiration: They’re all white and called “A Can Has No Name” (think Arya Stark and the Faceless Men of Braavos).

Concept: It’s thermodynamic. When warm, it’s blank. When cold, you see Arya’s hit list.

There were two ways to win these 800 cans. One revolved around a hashtag and the other was pretty laborious and involved finding a master coin in NYC or LA, uttering the “ancient password” (not given), receive a special coin and use it at the Iron Vending machine for buying the can…
