Your Brain Might Get Confused By These 25 Awesome Food-Shaped Finds

Food glorious food! It nourishes us, brings us together, and stars in approximately 98% of our daydreams. So, naturally, the next logical step is to make... everything else look like food too, right? From things that smell like your favorite takeout to items that mimic iconic snacks, the world of food-shaped objects is a weirdly wonderful place where function meets fun (and occasionally, confusion).

Why do we feel the need to make our sponges look like toast or our candles resemble tacos? Who knows! Maybe it's just a fun way to inject some personality into everyday items, or perhaps it's a low-key tribute to our favorite meals. Whatever the reason, these quirky finds are guaranteed to bring a smile (and maybe a rumble) to your stomach. Just try not to take a bite out of your pot holder.

#8 Keep Your Feet Warm And Looking Like A Delicious Maki Roll With These Fun Sushi Socks

Review: "This is a fun gift or something to buy for yourself if you like loud-ish socks. The quality of the printing and material is pretty decent; similar to a "regular" dress sock, so fairly thin but not overly so. It does stretch to fit and I could see how this is a one size fits most; didn't feel like it was overly stretched to go on my US 10.5 M feet. The packaging/presentation is fantastic - it comes in a real sushi takeout type container and looks convincingly like the real thing, down to the "fake seaweed" plastic separators and little ginger and wasabi puffs that otherwise serve no purpose (in this case). Especially great for a salmon lover like me! Recommended." - Michael Benjamin Herman
