Do you like bacon? Do you like bras? You're gonna love the bacon bra. No idea why it exists, but, as one commenter notes, "So not kosher." Waffle panties and syrup slip to come? [WOW]

Good news and bad news! Sales of boxed macaroni and cheese are up, reports UPI. Good news because, yum, mac and cheese is delicious comfort food, whether it is authentic or from a box. The bad news? This may be a clear indication that this country is headed toward financial ruin and we're trying to soothe our souls with pasty carbs. Kraft introduced mac and cheese in 1937 — the era known as The Great Depression. Related: So. Hungry. Right. Now. [UPI]

Comfort Food: Great For Stress, Except When It's Not
Yum, here's a "no shit" study that hits the spot: Researchers have discovered that junk food lowers stress levels! Go get a cookie, we'll wait. So, yeah. University of New South Wales pharmacology professor Margaret Morris took lab rats away from their mothers as babies and divided them into groups. One group was on a "lard-laden junk food diet", including cakes, chips and pies. The other was on a low fat diet. Then all the rats went through different behavioral tests, like being exposed to really bright light. Apparently the fat rats weren't fazed by the glare, like, "Dude. It's kinda like, bright in here? Burp." And the thin rats were mega-tense; all, "OMG WTF! What is that?!??!" Anyway, there could be something for humans to learn from this about stress and appetite and why you eat high-calorie food when you're freaking out. Great, right? Except not so much if you're in jail. More »
