Now that a class-action suit has exposed Taco Bell's "seasoned beef" as an oats-laden ruse, the chain is trying to win our hearts back with a peace offering, if you will. It's a Crunchy Seasoned Beef Taco. All we have to do is "like" the Bell's page on Facebook, and that steaming, greasy taco packed with not-entirely-beef is all ours, free of charge. ...

Since the dawn of man, not a single person has ever enjoyed dieting. Controlling any urge, after all, is never fun, and it certainly isn't easy. Nowadays, it seems like every other week presents a completely different diet trend or a new healthy cookbook atop the best-sellers counter at the bookstore. Getting started with a new diet, however, doesn't have to involve books, consultations, or ...

Food is only as fast as the corners cut making it -- or such has been the corporate, American idea of fast food preparation technology. Yet, the fast food restaurant 4food dislikes this philosophy, and is opting to open a three-story restaurant in midtown Manhattan and to break practically every rule in the, err, fast food book -- if there is such a thing. First off, there are over 140 ...

According to Engadget, certain booths at Japanese BKs feature docks for your iPod and a clear, bowl-shaped speaker hanging above the table. As a result, your personalized ...

The problem with being a creepy recluse who avoids human interaction at all costs is that you have very few options when it comes to ordering food. You can get pizza, or a sub, or... pizza. Thankfully, the grizzled shack dwellers out there may soon have another option -- Jack in the Box. A photo submitted to Consumerist shows an ordering kiosk in a Bellevue, Washington branch of this fast-food ...

The benefits of friendship will never rival the beauty of free food. Burger King found that out the hard way. Facebook has disabled the Whopper Sacrifice application after 233,906 "friends" were sacrificed in the name of hunger (or obesity). In case you missed it, Burger King released a Facebook application that promised a free burger if you removed ten people from your friend list. It is a ...

If we've learned one thing from the KFC Famous Bowls, it's that Americans love to find absurd ways to make food more convenient and efficient. OhGizmo! has a pair of food related innovations that stop shy of a "failure pile in a sadness bowl," but at least one still crosses the line in to fast food ridiculousness. With only six locations nationwide, Korean-based BBQ Chicken USA is a somewhat ...

Who needs Preparation H when you've got food-warming lights? Apparently those big infrared radiating bulbs are the secret to hemorrhoid relief. Hemorrhoids form when veins where the sun don't shine become inflamed. It turns out that when a concentrated form of the same infrared light used to keep Big Macs warm is shined on the affected area, for less than a second, it helps shrink the inflamed ...

Intuitive Media recently conducted a poll of 3,000 children of which 43 percent of respondents said they were more likely to eat a food or snack if they saw it online. 61 percent said they visited food sites. The Internet often blurs the line between editorial content and marketing -- especially when it comes to dealing with children (re: Disney, Barbie, et al). The BBC is now reporting that ...
