Hey, Marvel! You got some purty colors on them new fangled 'Avengers: Infinity War' posters

Pink, electric cyan, lavender, greens, reds, varying shades of blue and hints of still other nearly-fluorescent colors. The arrangement is, um... "virtually antithetical to the hyper-masculine colors typically associated with testosterone-driven superhero movies." Heck, it almost kinda-sorta makes you wonder how ya'll came up with such a color palette.

Naw, just kidding. It really it doesn't. [Stares in Don Cheadle] Well played, motherfuckers.

Anywho, just wanted to say beautiful work on the 22 Avengers: Infinity War posters that you dropped on the nerdiverse today. Really beautiful. I approve. (You also get middle fingers, yeah, but I approve.)

Burger King – Have it your way (Back in the day)

Back in Black – Burger King Japan's Kuro Burger

On September 19th, to celebrate the burger chain's 5th-year anniversary in the land of the rising sun, Burger King Japan is bringing back its very, very, very surprising-looking Kuro Burger (literally "Black Burger"), for a very limited time.

First introduced in 2012, and then offered again to much acclaim in 2013, the Kuro Burger features a black pepper and paprika-seasoned beef patty on a bamboo charcoal blackened bun. The patty is topped with an onion and garlic sauce, blackened with squid ink, and a tasty slice of – hold on to your underoos, kids – charcoal blackened cheese!

BK Japan offers two varieties of the sandwich: the simple meat-n-cheese Kuro Pearl, and the deluxe Kuro Diamond, a mouthwatering 'whopper' of a burger with all the fixings. The menu price for the sandwich all by its lonesome will be ¥450 (about $5.75), or ¥790 (about $10.10) in a combo meal with fries and BK Japan's exclusive Kuro Coke Zero (or other preferred soft drink).

How do the Japanese say..."Have it your way?"

Twilight of the Twinkie

 Since the 1930s, the taste of Hostess snack cakes were an integral part of snack culture in America. Maybe nowhere was this more apparent than in the pages of comic books in the 1970s and '80s. In the full-page Hostess ads that were regularly featured, costumed crime-fighters relied on their wits – and the irresistible bait of Twinkies, Fruit Pies, and Cupcakes – to capture hapless bad guys. Odin only knows how many times Hostess snack cakes saved the day. And not just in the pages of comics but also in the real world, when appetites craved a cream-filled or a fruit-filled treat. In sweet remembrance of the Hostess Company, which turned off its ovens after an 80-year run in the snack business, YKFS brings you a few of those pulse-pounding pages. If you got lucky enough to get your hands on a pack of Twinkies before they were all bought up and posted on Ebay, I hope that you poured out a little milk on the curb for the dearly departed and savored every last crumb.

They drank Sprite and then formed like...

Although it was originally Method Man and the Wu-Tang Clan who coined the phrase "We form like Voltron," it was a different mix of hip-hop artists who starred in a series of Voltron inspired Sprite commercials in 1998. Today, we can only daydream how those TV spots might have looked – and sounded – if the RZA, Meth, Raekwon and the rest had been placed behind the controllers of Voltron's black, red, green, blue and yellow lions. Instead, but much to their credit, the marketing heads at Sprite assembled a crew of hip-hop artists who represented the East Coast (Afrika Bambaataa, Jazzy Jay, Fat Joe), West Coast (Mack 10), Northern (Common) and Southern states (Goodie Mob). The beats and rhymes were appropriately bubbly, and the campaign showed a sparkling effort by an advertiser to sample the mouth-watering flavors that can result when American hip-hop gets blended with a Japanese giant robot.

Submitted for your approval...the Sprite "Voltron" commercials.
