Snowman cake earmuffs in pink and striped sparkles - From Fun Pix and Neatoshop

If you imagine that little snowman cupcake without the earmuffs, it’s actually kind of creepy…and ugly. But the earmuffs are quite cute!

You can get your own set at Neatoshop for $3.45 for 12. I think that’s pretty cheap to step up a dozen cupcakes for a special occasion.

Canadians like their…. topsy turvy measuring systems

Shot glass that has both metric and standard measurements 

I already posted about how they like the metric system. That’s a given.

It’s not just that they use the metric system, though. It’s that any given recipe may use multiple types of measurements. It wasn’t uncommon for me to have to use the scale for weighing flour…a spoon for teaspoons….and then another type of cup for milliliters (or more likely, dig around online for a conversion). Gah! It’s bad enough having to use multiple teaspoons, tablespoons, and half cups anyway, pfft.

So after listening to me whine about this more than once, Mom sent me the above/below ‘shot glass’ measuring glass for Christmas last year. It covered every type of measuring I might encountered under the half cup mark so that I didn’t have to try to convert the measurements…. or dirty every spoon in the house.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, that’s purple leopard printed socks tucked inside….also part of my quirky gift box collection that was sent. <3

Pocket Like It’s Hot – Snoop Dogg sings about hot pockets

music, pizza, products, videos | December 6, 2012 | By

Well, if you can call it singing anyway.

And uh, is anyone else a little weirded out by this? I didn’t realize he was even still producing “music,” but hey, he’s gotta make some money somewhere, huh? I think I’m more disturbed by the fact that it isn’t just a little snippet for a commercial… it’s a full-on music video with lyrics all about Hot Pockets. Wow.

Here are the lyrics to read along if you dare click the video play button:

I’m a hot dude, with some hot dreams
Getting fired up, letting off steam
Everybody showing love — Herbie’s in da tub
Checkin’ applications for the Hot Pockets fan club
Pepperoni pizza, much better than some fish eggs
The interior too hot let it cool off for a few secs
I’m running for the taste, that can be my phys ed
Chompin Hot Pockets, that’s how you get ahizzead
Winners get the meaty meats,
Winners get da cheesy eats
The tag-team meal that’s too hot for TV
Get off my pockets, you gotta backup
Yup that’s whatssup, now sign the prenups
Me and Hot Pockets never gonna splitup
You should think about it…..take a second.

I bring the heat, but y’all knew that
Da Big Sauce Boss, yeah, I had to do that
I keep it fired up, even when I’m inside
You take what’s mine, then ya gonna have to run ‘n hide
He light ‘em up so much that everybody talks
They all wanna turn in his Hot Pockets Box
Two, one, yep, three these Pockets are H O double T
Smokey temps hitting that three thirty three
If you can’t stand it this hot
Then you can’t chill with me
So bring your friends, we going on a wild ride
Herb Sauce tender meats heat yo insides
So don’t change the dizzle, turn it up a lizzle
Got some cheesy drizzle dripping on my shizzle
Waiting on the brizzle’s, the pizzle, the dizzle Gs, when da cheese hits your tongue it’ll scream “Fo Sizzle”

Hungry kids in the crib ma
Pocket like it’s hot
Pocket like it’s hot
Pocket like it’s hot
When the craving’s got a hold of you…

 

And if you made it all the way to the end, I think you deserve some Hot Pockets for your endurance skills. Good job!
