IKEA's Swedish meatballs are tasty and great fuel for those long days of following arrows and picking out furniture that you're forced to assemble yourself using just a metal letter "L" and cartoon instructions. But how the heck do you pronounce Köttbullar?

Like this:

SHUT-boo-lahr.

We learned this using IKEA på Scenskaabout (IKEA in Swedish), a neat website that teaches you how to say all sorts of Ikea product names, including food items such as Gräddsås (cream sauce), Lingonsylt (lingonberry jam) and Påskmust (Swedish Easter drink). Click on any box and a woman says the word. Learn it, put it to memory and impress all your friends.

Phones Replaced With Sandwiches

Hunger + having too much time on your hands = this. The new Tumblr Phones Replaced With Sandwiches is pretty self-explanatory. Phones in stock photos are replaced with sandwiches. The creator of Photoshop must be so proud.

Serving cotton candy sounds like a terrible job. It's sticky, there's sugar flying everywhere and you're forced to listen to whiny kids beg, "Pleeeeease, Mom?"

Sure, the lion that your barista drew this morning is cute, but it's a little, well, flat. Kazuki Yamamoto has taken latte design to the next level. The Japanese coffee artist thinks outside the mug with three-dimensional coffee creations such as a floating polar bear and a cat jumping into a fish pond. The only downside? Having to slurp it up.

Someone on Reddit posed a question to bartenders: "What do drink orders say about people?"

The responses that followed are enlightening and pretty hilarious. Redditor pres82 wrote this definitive guide. (Note to self: No White Russians ever.)

There was news that the U.N. suggested that insects are one way to solve world hunger problems (mmm, chapulines!). They're a good source of protein, the U.N. report says, referring to bugs as "minilivestock." Stephen Colbert, in a biting, if only satiric segment on his show last night lambasted them in the way only Stephen Colbert can. One his best lines was about the "minilivestock" bit. "According to the UN, all you New Yorkers with bed bugs are technically ranchers," he says.

Watch the whole segment below:

There's a real product on Amazon called Fresh Whole Rabbit, sold by gourmet food company Le Village for $45.90 plus $18.90 for shipping. Reviewers have found this to be absurd, revolting or hilarious, so much so that they've written some pretty awesome fake reviews.

Internet king George Takei got in on the fun with this gem:

Don't you ever wish, man, I wish I could grab a sandwich out of my armpit right now? This crafty gal has an answer. She made a jacket out of Ziploc bags. So many snack compartments! I see the future in movie-theater fashion.

Is it ever necessary to cut any fruit this fast? Maybe not, but it sure looks cool enough to viral. Watch this guy turn what appears to be at least a 10 pound watermelon into little bite-sized cubes in about 21 seconds.

I saw this video about a week ago, and thought it was interesting. Apparently about 3 million more people thought it was interesting too. It has been viewed that many times since being posted on the site last Friday. It is the very definition of a viral video. And when I think of it now, it makes sense why it has gotten so popular: it shows you how to do something very extraordinary to something very mundane--making a hard boiled egg that's scrambled inside the shell.

I intend to try what I saw in the video because, well, eggs are cheap and I have an old sweater I was going to donate to Goodwill anyway. Who doesn't have eggs and an old sweater?

See the video below:
