Dispensary Corner

ICONIC Australian foods have been subject to significant humiliation in a new tourist attraction in Sweden.

Labelled the Disgusting Food Museum, three star-attractions including our own Vegemite, witchetty grubs and musk sticks all earned a spot on the dubious podium of shame.

Other products to make the unenviable cut included Twinkies from the USA, a boiled duck egg with a partially developed foetus from the Philippines, haggis from Scotland, pork brains from the USA and casu marzu — maggotinfested cheese — from Sardinia.

And more: baby mice wine from China, fruit bat soup from Guam (pictured), and rotting century eggs from China.

Mmmm, is it lunch-time yet? NOW that’s a relief!

Remember that recent stolen inflatable colon story (PD 24 Oct)?

Kansas police have found it after being tipped off about its location in an abandoned house - it had been stolen from the back of a truck much to the despair of the university cancer research centre using it in a health promotion: “Get Your Rear in Gear”.

The good news is that public donations flooded in to pay for two more inflatable colons.

Twitter storm: “Grammar police have solved the case of the missing colon.” “Phew, just in time for the elections!” & more.
