- Title: “Melancholy Egg”
- Media: Eggs. Ennui.
- Submitted by: John Y.
- John found, at his local pub, what must be the saddest pickled egg on record. John notes that "If I'd been stuck in a jar of vinegar for a few months, I'd be frowning too." What might be sadder is that when John returned to take a better photo — someone had already consumed the melancholy egg.
- Title: “Cutey Pickle”
- Media: Pickle. Happiness or Rage.
- Submitted by: Crane (from Korea)
- Crane was ordering a meal and got this pickle served up on the side. She thinks that, while it is definitely shouting at her, it's also very, very happy. I think all food should be served when it's happy. That's just me.
- Title: “Tomato Bird”
- Media: Tomato. Bird Flu.
- Submitted by: Phil Seidel of Canton, KS

- Title: “Pasta Van Gogh”
- Media: Dried Pasta. Post-Impressionism.

- Many of us have experienced pasta sticking to the bottom of a pot, but this one does take on a certain "Van Gogh-esque" quality.
- Title: “Deep-Fried QuickTime”
- Media: Onion Ring. Hot Oil. Compressed Video.
- Submitted by: Eric Yruegas
- Yes, Eric, your onion ring does look like the QuickTime 3 logo! You think this could be a new wave of corporate product placement?
- Title: “HippoCarrotamus”
- Media: Carrot.
- Submitted by: Tom Leaf
- This is a carrot from Tom's garden. He says it looks like a horse, his friends say it looks like a pig, I say it looks like a hippo. Could this be the mythical "Rorschach Carrot?"
- Title: ““I Love You” Potatoes”
- Media: Potatoes. Romance.
- Submitted by: Bren Chambers, Florida
- Bren writes: "I bought a bag of potatoes and every single one was shaped oddly. I managed to spell this out."
- Title: “Peanut Duck”
- Media: Peanut.
- Submitted by: Bob White
- Bob tells us that he has had "nothing but luck [since] I found the peanut that looked like a duck 5 years ago." A lucky, duck-shaped peanut? Why not?
- Title: “Haunted Soup”
- Media: Soup. A lost soul.
- Submitted by: Simon E.
- Simon put a regular bowl of oxtail soup into his microwave and it came out looking like this. We suggest that Simon checks his microwave specifications as it seems to include the ability to entrap souls. Simon wrote "It looks as if it's in pain. I still ate it."
