This may be the greatest thing since sliced bread.
The breakfast dilemma of trying to spread cold butter straight from the fridge onto toast in the morning has been voted into Britain's top five breakfast annoyances — and Warburtons, the family baker, has created the Toastie Knife to help with this breakfast dilemma.

A Finnish mathematician named Arto Inkala claims he's created the world's hardest sudoku puzzle. On a scale of one to five stars (with five being the most difficult), Inkala claims this puzzle would score an eleven.
Why do McDonald's hamburgers always look so much more delicious in ads than in person? We've all asked ourselves the same question. The marketing director of McDonald's Canada lets us in on the secret.
From the tables of Chinese restaurants to the "Asian" aisle of the supermarket, the Kikkoman bottle, with its red cap and simple gold text, is the standard go-to in soy sauce.
But where did the bottle get its original design?
It took three years for [designer Kenji] Ekuan and his team to arrive at the dispenser’s transparent teardrop shape. More than 100 prototypes were tested in the making of its innovative, dripless spout (based on a teapot’s, but inverted). The design proved to be an ideal ambassador. With its imperial red cap and industrial materials (glass and plastic), it helped timeless Japanese design values — elegance, simplicity and supreme functionality — infiltrate kitchens around the world.
Contrary to popular belief, the correct pronunciation of the word GIF is with a soft J

Our new bird grows out of love for ornithology, design within creative constraints, and simple geometry. This bird is crafted purely from three sets of overlapping circles — similar to how your networks, interests and ideas connect and intersect with peers and friends. Whether soaring high above the earth to take in a broad view, or flocking with other birds to achieve a common purpose, a bird in flight is the ultimate representation of freedom, hope and limitless possibility.
What should they name the new Twitter bird? "Big," perhaps?
Those look just like snow cones, right? But they're not! They're actually snow cone cupcakes - a cute, patriotic dessert option for July 4th. The "ice crystals" are created by sprinkling colored sugar over the three colors of frosting.
You can spend $45 to go see Nickelback this week. Or you could buy 45 hammers from the dollar store, hang them from the

your dome.
