pimp it up

sugarpockets just reminded me of my longstanding wish for her to pimp up some snacks. over the summer i stumbled onto this website, where (most likely stoned) brits make giant versions of their mysterious snacks. like what the hell is a scotch egg?

some of the pimped snacks blew my mind: the cola bottle, the tunnock's teacake and the all-american and all-delicious hostess cupcake. not to mention, look at that fool and his giant custard creme.

sugarpockets, c4ts and i tried to come up with our own pimp-worthy snacks: combos? milanos? in fact, most pepperidge farm cookies (i'm looking at you, chessmen) would be pretty good writ large.

on a legal note, the website was first called pimpmysnack.com until mtv sent them a cease and desist letter (c4ts, you and i can only dream about receiving such attention). the creators then changed the site name to www.pimpthatsnack.com. oh really, the "my" was misleading the masses? fucking lawyers.

If Xzibit pimped a snack, it would be a giant spliff.

that's going to have to be a simultaneous two-pimp project bc xzibit is going to need some consumables.
