- Title: “The Taco That Eats YOU”
- Media: Taco. Self-Awareness. Hunger for vengeance.
- Submitted by: Amy K.
- Amy K. warns "eat up, before your taco eats you!" after she found this horrid visage staring up at her from her dinner plate.
- Title: “Cheshire Smiley Meat”
- Media: Soup. Meat. Famous Feline.
- Submitted by: Ryan R.
- Ryan's coworker found this smiling meat staring back at him from his mall food court soup. Unsettling, to be sure, but really this meat was only revealing itself to be the latest incarnation of the Cheshire Cat.
- Title: “Man-in-the-Cheese”
- Media: Man. Cheese. Possible Unknown Moon Influences.
- Submitted by: Rick Wilson
- Rick sliced into a block of cheese to find the first-ever sighting of a possible descendant of the "Man in the Moon." Naturally, this means that he simultaneously discovered further evidence to support the long-running rumor that our moon is, in spite of decades of contradictory science, actually made out of cheese.

- Title: “Return of the Donut Monsters”
- Media: Donuts. Muppet-like googly eyes. The ability to breed and/or replicate.
- Submitted by: Jim T.
- After Jim discovered this first Donut Monster, he returned to his local bakery to find yet another, similar creature had taken up residence in the shop. Fearing that he someone may have opened up a portal to a donut-based parallel universe, Jim snatched up this latest creature to add to his collection. He then did the only thing that one could imagine doing: he used them to create an updated version of Grant Wood's "American Gothic."
- Title: “Cheerful Bread”
- Media: Bread. Sunshiny Cheerfulness.
- Submitted by: Anon.
- This may be the most cheerful & pleasant piece of bread I've ever laid my eyes upon. And, yet, he communicates this good cheer without an obviously happy smile. A complex fellow, this piece of bread is.
- Title: “Shrek-ato”
- Media: Potato. Ogre DNA.
- Submitted by: Donna R.
- Donna presents this potato from a Beijing supermarket. To me, it's a toss up as to whether it represents Shrek or Sloth from "The Goonies."
- Title: “Skull Leaf”
- Media: Leaf. Unknown spookiness.
- Submitted by: Jaime C.
- Jaime found this leaf on the street. Before you complain that this is not actually a FOOD anomaly, put such thoughts out of your mind: this is plain creeeeeeepy.
- Title: “Happy Corn”
- Media: Corn kernel. Pleasant disposition.
- Submitted by: Michelle D.
- Michelle's son found this happy little kernel of corn on his dinner plate. It was so adorable to him that he couldn't eat it. Proof: a nice smile can work wonders.
- Title: “Swamp Thing Basil”
- Media: Basil. Probably some sort of chemical or radioactive spill.
- Submitted by: Eli J.
- Eli found this image of the Swamp Thing in a basil plant and quickly took this picture. Little did he know that the image of the Swamp Thing would become a holy relic for swamp creatures the world over. His home is now overrun with plant elementals making the pilgrimage to witness this basil leaf firsthand.
- Title: “Subtly Smiley Potato”
- Media: Potato. Knife. Unceasing Optimism.
- Submitted by: Jamie H.
- There are many that might view this food anomaly as nothing particularly special. To many, it'll just be a subtle smiley face in a cut-up potato. But, I say nay, there are many life lessons we can take from this little guy. Imagine the deep-running optimism this potato must have to still present such a warming smile after having all of its sides cut off. It's almost as if it doesn't know that Jamie is in the midst of making mashed potatoes. Good luck, little tater.
