LEGO Food Stands Look Good Enough to Eat

For every awesome LEGO kit you can buy, there are dozens more that creative LEGO builders come up with that you can’t. At least not yet. Here’s one such set that’s currently seeking support over on the LEGO Ideas website.

Clearly inspired by buildings like LA’s iconic Tail of the Pup and the Bluth’s Banana stand from Arrested Development, LEGO builder FrostBricks came up with this awesome set of food shacks that look like giant-size fast food. The set envisions a chain of restaurants from the “Fabulous Fernando Brothers,” who serve up tasty treats to LEGO minifigs.

There’s a cheeseburger joint, a milkshake stand, and a french fry restaurant which is making me crave some Mickey D’s fries right now. The kit would include tiny food accessories for minifigs to feast on, and each stand would have fully detailed interiors.

If you like these as much as I do, show your support with a vote over on the LEGO Ideas website, and hopefully we’ll be enjoying them as official LEGO kits sometime in the future. In the meantime, I’m heading out to get a burger and fries for lunch now.

McDonalds Japan Rolling out Purple Sweet Potato Milkshake

I am a fan of some Asian food, at least when it’s been Americanized. I am not such a fan of some of the strange foods served in Japan, they seem rather gross to me. Case in point: McDonald’s in Japan is set to roll out a new milkshake for fall that is called Purple Sweet Potato, or at least that is what the name translates too.

It’s apparently called marasaki imo in Japan. Apparently, this is serious fall food in Japan; someone who lives there will have to verify that for me. It will go on sale in Japan on September 10.

Perhaps in Japan, this flavor shake is no stranger than Pumpkin Pie (or a Shamrock Shake) is here in the U.S. Regardless of how weird it sounds to me, it’s sort of cool to hear about the food McDonald’s serves in other countries.
