- Title: “Frustrated Gold-Mining Pepper”
- Media: Pepper. Frustration at lack of gold.
- Submitted by: Ara P.
- Ara referred to this as a "habanero chile fist," but (please work with me here), I am certain that if I had a great-grandfather who was a gold miner who then got angry at not finding any gold in the claim he just bought from a local businessman, this is a pepper-based representation of the face he'd make.
- Title: “Happily Oblivious Ice Cream”
- Media: Ice Cream. Misunderstanding.
- Submitted by: Jennifer R.
- A quart of ice cream seemingly enjoying it's freedom from the canister. It clearly has no idea what's coming next.
- Title: “Pan Face”
- Media: Oil. Pan. Painful Memories.
- Submitted by: Nancy & Simon H.
- Is this really a "Food Anomaly"? No, probably not. But, I once dropped a cast iron pan onto my face & made an expression very much like the one depicted here in oil. That's worth something, I guess.
- Title: “‘I Won’t Cure Your Hangover’ Egg”
- Media: Egg. Heat. Hope.
- Submitted by: Nick P.
- Nick P. awoke with a hangover & the belief that a fried egg would provide a cure. From the pan, Nick found this face mockingly smiling a warning that no such cure was in sight. The egg, it turns out, was correct.
- Title: “Peppermint Candy Skull”
- Media: Small Candy-based creature. Sans everything but a skull.
- Submitted by: Theresa
- A fine dinner. A sweet mint to cleanse the palate. Something awry.
Was it a mint at all? Or has she half-consumed a tiny, candy creature -- leaving only a skull as evidence of its remains?
- Title: “Undead Coconut”
- Media: Coconut Corpse. Reanimation.
- Submitted by: Fawn
- Fawn discovered the sunken eyes of this coconut staring at her after she drained the coconut's juice. She said it was a "ghost coconut," but my professional resources have determined it is more assuredly a ZOMBIE COCONUT.
- Title: “Devil Tomato”
- Media: Garden-variety Tomato. Underworld-variety Evil.
- Submitted by: Carol B.
- Carol claims that this tomato "came from the vine from hell!" Well, Carol, allow me to bestow this sage advice upon you, free of charge: if, indeed, you are holding the offspring of a Hell-borne vine, it is not considered wise to mock it by painting on a comical, cat-like face. Just a thought. Good luck, Carol, good luck.
- Title: “Happy-go-Lucky Mushroom Man”
- Media: Mushroom. Happiness.
- Submitted by: Aidan B.
- Aidan found this happy-go-lucky mushroom man enjoying the lush greenery of one of his native habitats.
- Title: “The Gerkin Bros. Singing Trio”
- Media: Gerkins. Harmonizing.
- Submitted by: Agata S. (Poland)
- A long-lost promotion photo from "The Gerkin Bros. Traveling A Capella Trio." They used to be a quartet, but there was an incident when one of them was vacationing in a summer salad.
- 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.
