Seven Decades of World Politics as a Food Fight
This is an amazing representation of world politics from the late 1930s through the present day as an interconnected series of food fights. I’m a little slow: For one thing, this has been around for a while but I hadn’t seen it ‘til now. For another, it took me several run-throughs to pick up on some of the references. A hint to get you started: The various countries are represented by a stereotypical food item — hamburgers, sausage, French fries, sushi, beef Stroganoff, and so on.

I stumbled across this a couple of months ago. At first you think: “Someone has way too much time on his hands,” but then your thoughts slide to “what a clever presentation!” What’s also great is that it may be enjoyed on either(or both) of two levels: the strictly visual fun of it, or the intelligence behind its presentation.
