In celebration of New York Design Week, Brooklyn-based designer Sebastian Errazuriz created 100 "Christian Popsicles" made from the "frozen holy wine transformed into the blood of Christ."

As for the blood of Christ, the Chilean artist said the wine was "inadvertently blessed by the priest while turning wine into the blood of Christ during the Eucharist."

We're hoping this tastes more appetizing than it looks. Introducing the Cupcakewurst, a cupcake-filled sausage.

According to the chef from The Cupcake Project: "It's a cross between a giant slippery noodle and a condom." The cupcakewurst is made with edible sausage casing and a cupcake batter. For an extra kick, she threw it on the grill and served it on a donut bun with raspberry jam.

Fruits are kind of amazing, and some will grow regardless of the space constraints put on them. Building on the old tradition of growing pears inside a glass bottle, Brazilian advertisers sealed developing tropical fruits in plastic molds that mimicked their clients' juice boxes. They later left them in fruit bins at various grocery stores and amazed the crap out of people.

It's really cool (and sad?) how the fruits will fill out the shape that's given them, in this case leaving the Camp logo embossed on their skins.

According to a story in Gourmet Live's new "Music Issue," rock stars now have the most boring diets of anyone you know (whole grains, ginger-infused water, potato chips in moderation).

Need an afternoon break? Watch Englishmen race peas along the ground with their noses in this Monty Python-esque footage from 1969. The crowds go wild! We can't think of anything sillier to do with a handful of peas. (But maybe we're not using our imaginations?)

Outside of DougieDog and up to no good

In a contest of overpriced hot dogs, New York City's Serendipity 3 has been unseated by Vancouver's DougieDog Hot Dogs, recently crowned the world's most expensive hot dog seller by Guinness World Records.

The restaurant's foot-long Dragon Dog, a bratwurst, is infused with 100-year-old Louis XIII cognac and topped with Kobe beef, lobster, truffles, and spices. This seemingly unappetizing combination brings the dish's price tag to $100.70.
