Tanabata Hamburger

The Los Angeles Tanabata Festival was recently held down in Little Tokyo.

From Wikipedia:

Tanabata (七夕^?, meaning “Evening of the seventh”) is a Japanese star festival, originating from the Chinese Qixi Festival.^[1] It celebrates the meeting of the deities Orihime and Hikoboshi (represented by the stars Vega and Altair respectively).

While walking by, we came across this super cool Tanabata Hamburger decoration, which we were informed, was one of the winners.

BFF Burger Vinyl Toy

If knives and burgers were really best friends, one wouldn’t stab the other with itself. (Found by J)

Hamburger Trucker Hat

From blogs.villagevoice.com:

“What happens when the hamburger on your hat looks much better than the hamburger you’re eating?

Predictably, East Village favorite gift and t-shirt store Alphabets (115 Avenue A, 212-475-7250) has been accumulating food-themed gag gifts over the last couple of years. But do you really want to give one of these to your foodie friends, who’d probably prefer a paring knife or handsome pot holder?”

Burger Lip Gloss

Found at Hot Topic by J. Does it taste like burgers?

Cheeseburger in a can?

Would you eat a cheeseburger from a can?

“Cheeseburgers in a can.   Can be taken on every trip but we not suggest you live of them!!  Easy to prepare by simply heating the tin in water, take the lid off and enjoy or alternatively heat up in the frying pan, too.    With juicy beef, tasty cheese, fried onions, cucumber, mustard and ketchup. 

We have tasted these and they are edible, like most ready meals they are not as good as the real thing but if you are stuck on a hill somewhere or snowed in they will suffice.  They are not big enough on there own to be one meal, you will need either a couple or something else to go with it.  Enjoy! “

Thanks Emily, for sending this by.
