Speaking of which, the article you posted reminds me of this one, which I came across around three weeks ago, but had no idea when I'd be ever be afforded the opportunity to share it.

Here's another several links and user commentary to be found in this one article that also pertains to fictional fast foods and odd treats: What Fictional Foods Do You Wish Were Real? | Serious Eats

I'm still searching for a recipe which allows for one particular ingredient to expand 30 times its original size, not too dissimilar from what The Jetsons meal capsules were able to do.

It may not be from a sci-fi series, but it sure has a fantasically-sounding, too-good-to-be-believable, astronautical-themed title to aid it's inclusion.

While the rest of the family is suffering at church, Homer revels in some alone time by fixing this gluttonous breakfast. Unlike most of the products on this list, you can actually make this dream food at home – simply combine caramel, waffle mix and liquid smoke in a waffle iron, then wrap it all up in a full stick of butter and enjoy!

Eleven Great Edited for Television Movie Lines | Gunaxin Media

excerpt:
from The Big Lebowski
Original Line: “This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!” and “Do you see what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass?”
Edited Line: “This is what happens when you fight (or find) a stranger in the Alps” and “Do you see what happens when you fix a stranger scrambled eggs”.

You might also see: “This is what happens when you pump a stranger’s gas” substituted in there.
Really great stuff. Talk about a non sequitur in an otherwise finely strange film.

I do this more often than I expected, too (accidentally double-posting when I'm actually trying to re-edit my previous post).

Assuming you'll come back again, what day-to-day lists do you keep track of: groceries, parts and specs to pick up for your autos, thoughts of what to watch, what to read, when to next see the family? Do you circle and actually write on your calendars (assuming you even own a wall calendar) and this is being really specific, do you own one of those dry-erase magnet boards on your fridge, like you see in the movies?

12 Oddly Specific Museums Preserving Our History

excerpt:
On the West Coast lies the Burlingame Museum of PEZ Memorabilia, home of the World’s Largest PEZ dispenser and a whole bunch more.

6 People Who Turned a Life of Crime Into Legitimate Careers | Cracked.com

Can you think of anyone else in particular, real version, of someone who was once a criminal, or an all-around "bad guy", but then subsequently devoted themselves to a new career which somehow incorporated their past doings into their futures gains?

Some rappers might be a notable example of this (though none are featured in the above lnked listing).

Morbid Anatomy: Tattoo Collection, Department of Forensic Medicine at Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland

Preserving the Criminal Code

The tattoo collection at the Department of Forensic Medicine at Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland consists of 60 objects preserved in formaldehyde, a method devised by one of the experts employed by the Department at the turn of 20th century.

The tattoos were collected from the prisoners of the nearby state penitentiary on Montelupich Street as well as from the deceased on whom autopsies were performed.

The majority of the prison tattoos represent connections between the convicts. Besides gestures and mimics it is a kind of secret code – revealing why 'informative' tattoos appeared on uncovered body parts: face, neck or arms.

The collection was created with a view to deciphering the code – among prisoners known as a 'pattern language'. By looking closely at the prisoners' tattoos, their traits, temper, past, place of residence or the criminal group in which they were involved could be determined.

In Poland, tattoos are common among criminals. Traditionally, they could be found on people who exhibited a tendency towards perverse behaviour: such as burglars, thieves, rapists and pimps. It was noticed that a significant percentage of tattooed people showed signs of personality disorders and aggressive behaviour. In the 1960s in Poland, getting a prison tattoo required special skills and criminal ambition – it was a kind of ennoblement, each tattoo in the criminal world was meaningful...
