Remember when Colonel Sanders and the crew decided they knew as much about manicures as they do about chicken, and launched their very own range of nail polishes?

Well, they haven't stopped there.

According to their Twitter page, the uber-famous fast food restaurant have turned their attention to the world of sun protection,  and in a bizarre turn of events, people are actually all OVER it.

Having released 3,000 bottles of Extra Crispy Sunscreen this week – a product which leaves users smelling like a bucket of the fried stuff – the chicken superstars are now fresh out.

They are FRESH OUT of chicken-scented sunscreen, people.

Considering that very few of us seek to smell like a fast-food outlet of our own accord, we can only assume the public was seduced by the chain's snappy tagline.

Tying in the allure of their original product with the importance of their new one, KFC explained: "Because the only skin that should be extra crispy this summer is on your fried chicken."

Oh, you guys!

This may be stating the obvious, but we are pretty major ice cream fans here at Shemazing! HQ.  And while we’ve already swooned over hangover-curing and black-coloured ice creams this summer, we have now discovered our ice cream temple of dreams.

Late last month New York’s Meatpacking district became home to what is possibly the greatest pop-up exhibition of all time as the interactive Museum of Ice Cream opened its doors.

According to Time Out, this temporary hall of frozen fame boasts a pool of sprinkles, an immersive chocolate room and an ice cream sandwich swingset.

You can find your perfect flavour during an ice cream tasting session or, if you’re feeling a bit techy, you can meet your match in an ice cream themed Tinder Land.

Unfortunately this food lover’s dream is only open ‘til September, but fingers crossed the exhibition will become a permanent fixture so that next time you take a trip stateside you too can swim in a pool of sprinkles.

Inspired by New York's hip Meatpacking district, it's often been touted as one of the capital's most chic eateries since launching close-to four years ago. 

And certainly, Fade Street Social – part of celebrity chef Dylan McGrath's string of restaurants – draws in a seriously cool crowd, including the likes of Beyonce and Jay-Z, who ate there in March 2014.

However, the Food Safety Authority Of Ireland has today revealed that Fade Street Social was last month ordered to CLOSE DOWN by environmental health officers.

Shut for a full day on July 15, the FSAI ordered the closure because it "deemed that there is or there is likely to be a grave and immediate danger to public health at or in the premises". 

On its website, Fade Street Social boasts that it serves "the very best of homegrown produce," adding that "freshness is the real hero".

When Beyonce and Jay-Z visited the spot two-and-a-half years ago, the Irish Independent reported that Queen Bey tucked into the pumpkin flatbreads garnished with fresh rosemary, parmesan, onion purée, sliced chestnut and fried mushroom, while her rapper husband opted for a classic strip steak and a serving of chips.

Fed up of eating burgers with plain old buns?  Don’t worry: the avocado bun has arrived.

Refinery 29 has credited the Foodeco site with the creation of the avocado bun – a healthy alternative to the traditional bread-based bun which is giving us some serious avocado inspo.

From what we’ve seen, this culinary creation can be easily put together by peeling a whole avocado before cutting it in half and stacking it full of good stuff.

 

And while we’re on the topic of avocado awesomeness, here are some of the other impressive avo trends we’ve spotted online.

Avocado Roses:

 

Avocado Mousse:

Avocado Smoothies:

Avocado Cake: 

And of course, Avocado Toast:

We're partial to an occasional (read: daily) treat around these parts. And certainly we're always in the market for a new, delicious sweet-treat that we can create at home. 

Because on a delicate Sunday evening after a weekend of socialising, we'd rather not venture outside unless totally compelled to do so (Zombie apocalypse or similar).

Thus – welcome to our world, deep friend Oreos. We're not the only ones getting in on the act either – the hashtag #deepfriedoreos is increasingly taking over social media.

Apparently it's something of a carnival/festival stable in the US, and certainly this is one American cuisine we're terribly glad is branching out on to these shores.

This week has seen two of the hottest days of the year so far, and while the public – both in Ireland and the UK – were facing into a week of nonstop chafing only made better by the promise of office ice creams, one store in the UK was busy preparing for the festive season.

With five months to go until we can officially say the Christmas season is upon us, a branch of Sainsburys in East Dulwich hedged their bets in the hopes some wily shoppers might use the hottest day of the year to do a spot of Christmas shopping.

Taking to Twitter to draw attention to the grocery giant's seasonal slip-up, Nigel Hall shared a snap of a shelf of milk-chocolate Toblerones festooned with miniature Christmas trees.
 

"Yes, on the hottest day of the year @Sainsburys has got Christmas stock in," he wrote in a tweet which has hit headlines this week.

With social media users wasting no time calling the retailer out on their festive eff-up, a spokesperson for Sainsbury commented on the matter, saying: "We’re looking into how this stock got onto our shelves in the middle of Summer."

And in a move which any lover of Dad jokes would appreciate they finished by insisting: "We appreciate it’s snow joke and will find out from our supplier whether they Noel more."

Oh, you guys!

If you come across any Christmas merchandise this summer, take a snap and email it to hello@shemazing.ie

In our parents’ day, if you wanted a little recipe inspiration, you’d dig out a cookbook and hope for the best.

These days, we can be exposed to a whole world of food at the touch of a button, and we have Instagram and foodie bloggers to thank for that one.

But if you’re two steps away from smothering yourself with kale leaves if you have to endure another post on the benefit of healthy eating, then we have the perfect antidote for you.

In a trend gaining serious momentum across the pond, internet users are rating hotdogs, and the results are nothing short of mouthwatering.

From New York to Texas, people are getting snap happy with their franks, and it makes for some seriously compelling scrolling.

 1. Dirt Dog, Los Angeles

These bacon-wrapped street dogs should be high on your list if you're hitting Hollywood any time soon.

A staple among Angelenos, you can choose between meat, soy and veggie-based dogs as well as traditional, Portuguese or lobster buns!

2. Dirty Frank’s Hot Dog Palace, Ohio

With 40 variations available, this Ohio-based weiner joint is a a dream come true for any hot-dog devotee.

From the Seoul Dog, topped with Korean kimchi and sriracha, to the Viva Baconia for bacon lovers, we're literally drooling all over ourselves.

3. Nathan’s Famous, New York City, NY

A Brooklyn institution, Nathan's Famous started out as a five-cent stand back in 1916.

One hundred years on, Nathan's just as famous as he was, and equally delicious.

4. BK Carne Asada & Hot Dogs, Arizona

Located in Tuscon, the BK Carne Asada &Hotdogs is a favourite with locals.

Hot dogs with a smokey Mexican twist is the order of the day in this place, and we want one NOW.

5. Lafayette Coney Island, Detroit, MI

According to the New York Post, when you're in Detroit, you get a Coney dog. End of story.

As typical an American hotdog as you can get, the Coney dog is a an all-beef, onion and mustard sensation.

6. Gene and Judes, Chicago

Providing the good people of Illinois with franks since 1951 – Gene and Judes is somewhat of an institution in Chicago.

Oh, and did we mention each one is served with a fistful of fries? Delish!

When it comes to eating out in our capital city, us Dublin-based foodies have a pretty sweet deal, but it's about to get even better.

According to Lovin Dublin, America's favourite burger joint is about to make its way over to the Emerald Isle, and we are PUMPED.

Five Guys – the restaurant which gives food coma a whole new meaning  – will be setting up shop in Dundrum Town Centre this autumn.

From providing us with their famous double burgers and cajun fries to keeping our drinks topped up for free, we haven't been this excited about the arrival of an American chain in years.

While those in the know – AKA people who have sampled the delights while Stateside – have no bother hopping up to Belfast for its famous 'fast casual' food, the fact it's fianlly coming to the Republic is definitely something to celebrate.

According to The Independent, the lease agreement has been officially signed off between Five Guys and Hammerson, the owners of Dundrum Town Centre.

All that's left to do now is start planning our first official feast in there.

Plain old vanilla might be the default option when it comes to ice cream, but it seems this summer’s coolest treat trend has gone to the dark side for inspiration.

In between the endless stream of melting chocolate balls, icy Frappuccinos and rainbow coloured doughnuts which have come to dominate Instagram’s food porn network, you may have noticed a very unusual looking iced dessert known as black ice cream.

Pictures tagged #blackicecream show scooped and whipped ice creams served in a variety of ways, all of which are black in colour and seem to be popping up around the world. 

 

 

Black ice cream! Woooooow #happytime #blackicecream #icecream #food #morgensternsnyc

The Tech Times has reported that Morgenstern’s Finest Ice Cream shop in New York is one vendor playing its role in the charcoal-coloured trend.

According to the site, Morgenstern’s black ice cream is Black Coconut Ash flavour which combines dark chocolate ice cream, squid-ink based food dye and a new flavour made from the “charred and processed remains of a coconut shell”.

 

And as if having black ice cream isn’t cool enough, it has been suggested that the activated charcoal in the recipe can help detox the body so you could say black ice cream is actually good for you.

Ever order fast food and sit there waiting for it to arrive thinking it just isn't fast enough?

Well it looks like that feeling could soon be a thing of the past as the world's first 3D pizza printer is on the way and it is set to change everything.

According to Fast Casual, the people who invented NASA's first 3D food printing robot Beehex have developed a pizza printing prototype which can create oven-ready pizzas in any shape imaginable in less than four minutes.

And as if that isn't enough, Beehex is also working on a 3D food printing kiosk which can create and bake one pizza pie ever 60 seconds – that's a lot of pizza.

These pizza gods have left chef Pasquale Cozzolino in charge of sourcing the right base, sauce and cheese for the printer and it seems he's going all out on finding the very best ingredients for the project by importing tomatoes from Mount Vesuvius and mozzarella from Italian cows.

Pasquale – who owns restaurants in New York and Atlanta – also intends to use 80-year-old yeast for the dough – fancy!

Because the pizzas will be ready within minutes and should be available to order by app, this new venture could change how we eat pizza forever.

Oh the possibilities…

If there's anything more irritating than someone taking your food after they said they didn't want any, we have yet to experience it.

And while the rest of the internet is currently lolling all over this girl's reaction to her boyfriend nabbing a bit of her pizza, we're with her on this one.

Having sat down to a slice in Pizza Boli's in Maryland, De'ja Davis was riled to the max when her boyfriend of two years, Dee Breezy, decided to get a little handsy with her lunch.

In a rant that can only be described as epic, De'ja schools her fella on the rules when it comes to other people's food.

"I shared my chicken with you. Not my pizza, she said. "I offered to get you something! It's MY pizza! Take this. I'll get another pizza."

And in one seriously ill-advised move, Dee went and shared his girl's hangry rant on Twitter, but Deja wasn't taking it lying down.

Responding to the footage he shared of her mini meltdown, Deja did what any self-respecting girlfriend would do – she laid it out in black and white, explaining exactly why her BF was out of line.

"Let me just say this…It wasn't about me not sharing because I always give you stuff," she began. "I just got that pizza and if you wanted just a little piece of it I could've gotten you your own."

"You plotted on getting my food when you knew I was hungry," she accused. "Let's go back to when I said I wanted carry out and you recommended pizza bolis so you knew what you were gonna do before we ever got there."

"All I'm asking is that next time you just be honest and say 'De'ja. I am starving like a homeless pig, can you spare me a slice," she pleaded.

"Now people think I'm all crazy when I'm not, I'm just really serious about my food."

De'ja, we got you.

Back in the day the avocado was a mysterious being people in hotter countries always seemed to be putting on their faces, but since earning its superfood status the green and black beauty has received international acclaim.

Unfortunately for avo-lovers on this side of the world though, all that creamy green goodness still comes at fairly noticeable cost.

But not to worry – someone has finally come up with a simple (and cheap) device which will allow you to grow you own avocado tree at home.

The AvoSeedo is a plastic avocado-shaped bowl with a flower-shaped hole in its centre which can be bought online for less than €12.

To grow an avocado tree, all you have to do is place a peeled avocado seed into the hole and then put the AvoSeedo into a water-filled pot.

From then on your avocado plantation will be pretty low maintenance – only requiring fresh water every couple of weeks.

After one to three months you’ll finally have your own teeny tiny avocado producing machine.  Sounds amazing right? 

Well, unfortunately the Daily Mail has discovered it can take up to 13 years before the tree would be mature enough to produce any actual avocados.

So unless you really have the patience of a saint, you might have to find some other source of avocados in the meantime.
