"When stars die, they turn to dust and scatter across the cosmos. Eventually the stardust reforms to create a new star... and so the cycle of life continues. But the cycle never repeats itself in quite the same way."--from the ending of Super Mario Galaxy

To my mind, the Onion AV Club's occasional junk-food taste tests are far more entertaining than, say, taquitos.net or phood, which seem geared less toward snide mockery and more toward obsessive fandom (or junkfoodreviews, which is like Youtube comments about food) (McSweeney's has covered some of this territory as well). From their review of Sonic's Mac'n'Cheese Bites: The good news is that if you live near a Sonic, you can snack on these bad boys whenever you like, since Sonic serves its full menu all day and all night. The bad news is that if you live near a Sonic, you probably reside in some hick shithole.
