Title: “Divining Daikon”
Media: Daikon. Virgula Divina.
Submitted by: Susie G. (Naples, FL)
Many people do not know this, but before "Divining Rods" became popular, people used "Divining Daikons" to find underground water sources.

Title: “Cap’n Crunch Nugget”
Media: Thar's Gold In Them Thar Cereals
Submitted by: Galen B.
From the depths of a box of Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch comes this nugget! Hmm... makes me think of another entry... yes, I remember now (cue video effect that TV shows use to indicate a flashback...) that's right, it reminds me of this entry.

Title: “Happy Sweet Potato”
Media: Sweet Potato. Extra Helping of Sweetness.
Submitted by: Alice W.
This entry brings to mind that dance hall hit from the 30's, "You're my happy, happy sweeeeet potato, you're my sweet potato pieeeeeee." OK, that song doesn't actually exist.

This fat, duck-shaped peanut makes my lifelong dream for Peanut Foie Grois seem a potential reality.

Title: “Potato Mickey”
Media: Potato. Disney Magic.
Submitted by: John H-B (West Hills, CA)
Could Mickey Mouse's popularity now reach into the realm of starchy tubers? I don't know, but this potato gives me pause to consider that idea.

Title: “Angelina Douglas Pepper”
Media: Pepper. Jolie and Douglas DNA.
Submitted by: Cathy L.
While "modified" submissions are usually forbidden here in the MoFA, this entry would work without the attached eyes. Cathy says that this photo represents the result of Angelina Jolie and Kirk Douglas having had a baby... that was a pepper. ... ah, see it now?

Title: “Strawberry Jaws”
Media: Strawberry. Ravenous Hunger.
Submitted by: Nathan
It's the strawberry that bit back! (no word on Nathan's condition; last we heard he has yet to approach another strawberry)

Title: “Large Grape”
Media: Grape-grape-grape-grape.
Submitted by: Chelsea and Stephanie
Not just a large grape, but what appears to be four grapes merged into one. Rarely to conjoined fruits merge to mimic their original shape. Impressive... in its simplicity.

Title: “I Dematerialized Kenny Egg”
Media: Egg. High Intensity Gamma Rays.
Submitted by: Christina
Going beyond the standard Southpark "I Killed Kenny!," comes the "I Dematerialized Kenny!" egg. It's haunting absence of Kenny will stay with you long after you leave this site. This photo, of course, accompanies the "'I Killed Kenny' M&M"

Title: “MUTANT GRAPES”
Media: Mutant Grapes! Mutant Grapes!
Submitted by: Heather
Heather was, apparently, so horrified by this large cluster of grapes that she could only entitle her submission "MUTANT GRAPES." No other notes. No idea what became of Heather, either.
