Several schools across the country have banned Flamin' Hot Cheetos because they are so unhealthy and dangerous to kids. What about these snacks? They seem *at least* as terrifying as something that promises to be hot as fire. It certainly can't be safe for kids to eat these. Also, we want some.

Ever notice how the names of many characters in the 'Star Wars' universe sound like tasty pasta dishes? We did, and we decided to test our theory with a little video quiz at the 2012 New York Comic Con.

It’s that time of year again when we apologize to our pancreas and then eat until we're sick -- Halloween candy season! Everywhere we turn, we’re bombarded with chocolate and gummies and sour things and those peanut butter taffies in the wax paper wrapping that no one ever eats. Somehow those things have survived the ages but our favorites have gone by the wayside. It’s bittersweet heaven on earth

Believe it or not, most fast food joints and quick service chains actually offer a lot more variety and ingenuity than their menus would suggest -- they just hide it from you for some sad, sad, reason.

We’re starting to think Pizza Hut has gone off a crazy cliff recently, what with their introduction of the Cheeseburger Crown Pizza and Cone Crust Pizza.

The Chili Peppers, of course, are one of Lollapalooza’s headliners, a fact that has inspired th

Vodka flavors are getting out of hand. We love buttered popcorn as much as the next guy – to the point where we always get the gigantic bucket at the movie theater despite our habit of overeating then fighting back vom-bombs – but, infusing that flavor into vodka will definitely have us on the horn with Ralph.

Part of what's so great about hot dogs is their simplicity. Take them out of their package, put them on a grill and, boom, everybody's favorite summer comfort food. But using just a skewer and knife, the food wizards at Chow have demonstrated a way to get a lot more out your wiener. See how to make a spiral-cut hot dog below.
