1. Darth Vader Burger
To celebrate the February 2012 release of Star Wars: Episode I in 3D, French fast food chain Quick hoped to draw diners to the dark side with a slew of Star Wars-themed offerings. The pièce de résistance was a spicy Darth Vader burger, complete with a jet-black bun achieved with vegetable coloring. Though only available for three days, the burger made quite an impression - not only on Quick customers but curious onlookers worldwide who rocketed the novel hamburger to viral Internet fame.

2. Burger King Bacon Sundae
We're certainly fans of bacon and ice cream sundaes on their own, but Burger King decided to go a step further and combine the two into one dessert. Their new Bacon Sundae features vanilla soft serve with hot fudge, caramel and a bacon crumble topping, garnished with a slice of "hardwood smoked bacon." It may sound like an odd offering at first glance, but if you're into sweet and salty desserts, it might be worth a try.

3. WikiCells
Harvard professor David Edwards says that food of the future will package itself, and his upcoming product, WikiCells, is making that vision a reality. WikiCells are edible forms of food packaging that can encase liquid and pudding-like products in a mess-free, natural skin (think grapes or eggs). Even better, small particles of chocolate, fruit, nuts or other tasty ingredients can be added to the skin to help the packaging contribute to the eating experience. One of the first commercially available WikiCells products will be ice cream encased in a fudge membrane that you can hold in your hand, bite into, or even poke with a straw to drink like a milkshake - proving that reducing packaging waste can be a delicious process.
