Are we not noticing that this was The Onion reporting?

 

I was waiting for the penny to drop. We need to flag that things posted in 'food funnies' are jokes?

In case you don't know about The Onion's cooking videos (or even if you do), here are a couple to get you started. Links to the rest of them are on the right side of each video.

I wonder if "sprinkle police" is going to become a meme now.

If not "sprinkle police", then perhaps "sprinklegate". It's used more than once in that article. Catchy, isn't it?

This isn't meant to be a joke, but given my recent purchases, I found it amusing.

All I need is that and a bathtub! They don't seems to do a model for the shower!

How much is the bottle holder?

 

They might get arrested for a model in the shower.
