Food roundup for may 7 1

Here’s what was being written about today in the world of food and dining news:

• Eating Our Words gets us ready for the weekend by alerting us to the existence of pocket shots. Finally, an alcohol product designed specifically for endurance athletes.

So stupid it’s awesome. (Or maybe vice versa.)

• Chow Bella takes us on a trip down memory lane with a list of the worst food-related infomercials of all time. Oh, Billy Mays, how we miss you so.

• Gut Check offers up the greatest ad for sliced ham you’ll ever see. At least until Martin Scorsese releases a bologna ad in mid-2011.

• And lastly, Cafe Society gets all scientific on us and references a new study showing that fast food logos make you impatient. Honestly, though, we were way too busy to read it all.
