Purists (and by that I mean my college roommates) agree that the best video game system ever was the Nintendo Entertainment System, affectionately known as NES. The system's teeny tiny 8 bits was most people's first introduction to Mario, Zelda and Donkey Kong. Now you can add CheetoCorn to that list. It's a non-secret that many NES games are available to play free online so Cheetos decided to invent a new one. It's a logical step when you consider how many hours that NES and

Roadies for Britney Spears' "Circus" tour are loading equipment into the Sprint Center at this very moment! Shani Tate Ross, the director of communications and marketing at the Sprint Center, says that tomorrow night's show is nearly sold out, with mostly premium and VIP tickets still available. Those seats run $125 to $549. It's Britney, bitch, and "recession" ain't in her vocabulary.
Ross also wants to remind ticket holders that the show starts right at 7:00 p.m., which is an hour earlier
Any April Fool's Day that NASA gets involved in needs a round-up.It was a day of false stories involving organic food and the green movement. The best one was on Civil Eats, which claimed food guru Alice Waters would be releasing a line of frozen entrees at Dean & Deluca. Although the story was outrageous -- the entrees are a plate with salt on them and a pamphlet on foraging your own food -- the joke got Mark Bittman to bite. Also in the "serious celebrity releases wacky product" category w
The image of a hardcore gamer subsisting on Cheetos and a Mountain Dew may need an update. Example A: this how-to for carving the Mario Bros. 1-UP mushroom out of a radish. Food culture and design are leaching into video-game junkies' virtual and offline worlds. Safeco Field in Seattle, Washington, allows you to have food and beverages delivered to your seats via the Nintendo Fan Network -- a wireless network at the stadium that works with the hand-held Nintendo DS.
​With people keeping tigers in their apartments, a dog seems kind of passe. It did get Fat City thinking, though, and we figured we should issue a warning. Here are the 10 worst food spokesanimals to have as a pet. 10. Dig'em the Frog -- Kellogg's Honey Smacks. His catchphrase was "gimme a smack." This ball-cap-wearing frog was eminently smackable, but it's wrong to hit your pets. 9. Cheesasaurus Rex --- Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Why bother with animals you'd have to reanimate fr
​It used to be that strawberry lip balm was a big deal. And when Chapstick introduced raspberry as an alternative, watch out. Also, a potentially disproportionate number of middle school girls enjoyed eating watermelon lip gloss -- perhaps that's why it's not seen so often these days? But now generic fruit flavors seem passe in light of an army of food-flavored lip balms that sound remarkably unappetizing. Apparently junk food is no longer for just inside your mouth. There's corn dog lip balm,
