Meat Joy
So far as I can tell, this famed bit of performance art is an exact depiction of what most of the WU commenters are always seeking to arrange amongst themselves.

Follies of the Mad Men #55
Of course, every beautiful young woman I know always asks for prune juice in a cocktail glass whenever she's out in public.

Killing, Plucking and Eviscerating Your Chicken
There's nothing weird about butchering a chicken, but I've never seen such a detailed guide to the entire process. Over at BackyardChickens.com, "Frugal Squirrel" shows you what to do. He starts with a live chicken, kills it, plucks it (with an automatic plucking machine), and removes all the innards. What he finally ends up with looks like what you'd buy in the supermarket.

Eating a Pig’s Head
The Limeyg blog explores how to eat a roasted pig's head:We started by tearing off the ears; the skin was fantastic, salty and crunchy, but not worthy of too much attention when the rest of the head was sitting there, full of secrets...
There was a small motherlode of deliciousness at the temple, a couple of inches up behind the eye: it was similar to the oysters on a chicken, except juicier and more tender.

I'm a meat lover, but I think I'd have to pass on this. I don't like my food to be staring back at me.

Follies of the Mad Men #54
Alex raised the topic of navels earlier, little knowing I had something of a similar nature in store!This is of course a famous and admittedly effective commercial. But we'll include it in our series of oddities for one trivial reason: no navels shown! In a commercial focusing on several bare stomachs!
It was all part of television broadcast standards back then, just as with the famous I Dream of Jennie prohibition against showing Barbara Eden's navel.

Anything and Whatever
A Singapore soft-drinks maker has taken it upon itself to provide refreshment for those people who are willing to have anything, or whatever. According to Wikipedia:The drinks have a unique packaging concept such that every beverage has a generic design, with no way of telling what flavour is contained in the can. This prevents the consumers from being aware of the flavour of the purchased beverage until they drink it.
This is apparently the Cola version of the Something Store concept. The only certainty is that if you opt for Anything, you're going to get a carbonated drink. If you take Whatever, you'll get a flavored iced tea.

Great Depression Cooking
Since it looks like we're in a second Great Depression, 91-year-old Clara's Great Depression Cooking videos on youtube seem timely. She shows how to cook all the cheap meals she ate as a kid. But Wow! she adds a lot of salt.I tried her "Poorman's Meal" for Saturday dinner. It was 2 large potatoes (cubed), 1½ onions (chopped), and 3 sliced hot dogs. Just fry all this up and serve. It was more than enough for my wife and I, and cost around $4 for the two of us. I give it a thumbs up! The thumbnail shows my meal. Below is Clara.
