Are You a Fan of Rainbow Foods?

Some parents will try anything to get their lil ones to try different foods.

Some parents will try anything to get their lil ones to try different foods. While there are mamas who hide fruits and veggies in otherwise kid-friendly meals, others use cookie cutters to distract their tots into tasting the grub.

For left-brained moms who are inclined to put their creativity on the baking sheet, there is food coloring. Put a crafty mom in front of an assortment of food dyes and the resulting creations can be breathtaking, such as these cookies. A hefty dose of food colorings and dyes are needed to create such colorful dishes, and some mamas try to steer clear of such artificial ingredients in their kids diets.

Take a look at the rainbow of creations we found and tell us your opinion on colorful foods.

Kiddie Show: Rainbow

The writers of children's programming place a high priority on making their shows entertaining for adults and children alike — but this is something else.

The writers of children's programming place a high priority on making their shows entertaining for adults and children alike — but this is something else. Rainbow, a '70s UK kiddie show, upped the ante on adult entertainment value. The following clip from the "Twangers" episode was a staff joke that was jam packed with innuendo. Hey, what they don't know, won't pervert them — right? Wrong. This episode never aired for the general public. (Thanks for the update, meerkat!)

Platinum Blond Life Shoutout: Color Wheel

The blogosphere can be an amazing place.
Color Wheel of Rainbow BagsThe blogosphere can be an amazing place. Just when we think we are drowning in a sea of useless content we find ourselves smitten by people with a surfeit of talent, and yes, often time. Today's "OMG how the hell did she do that" post comes courtesy of community member Platinum Blonde Life who has created a color wheel of 47 brightly hued bags that blew our minds. We don't even have all that much to say about it except DAMN. Thus may we suggest you click because she lists out the price, name and store of each find too which frankly is a lot of HTML for one blog post. Just so we don't fee like slackers we have included a rainbow line up of bags too.
