Nibble on this: 5 things happening in the world of food you should know.

*NSYNC’s Joey Fatone will open a hot dog and Italian ice cart in a Florida shopping mall.
The ’90s boybander announced that he will open Fat One’s (get it?!) hot dog cart in the Florida Mall in Orlando. The menu will include specialty hot dog options like the Gone Hollywood and the Boybander—five mini hot dogs symbolizing the five members of his former band, according to the Orlando Business Journal. The opening is set for August 2016. There’s no word on whether or not he’ll sell a beverage called “Dirty Pop”. But he should. He really should.

You can eat a dim sum Disney character at the Hong Kong Disneyland.
Is this the happiest meal on earth? Guests who stay in the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort can reserve a character-themed dim sum dinner at its Crystal Lotus restaurant. Chefs are turning out steamed buns and dumplings which look like Frozen’s Olaf, Chip N’ Dale, and Chicken Little. Other cutie options include the “Little Pig Barbecue Pork Bun”, “Little Green Men Pork and Vegetable Bun” and “Mickey’s Seafood Glutinous Pancake”.

This guy filled his entire swimming pool with Coke and then swam in it.
Someone likes Coca-Cola … a lot. “After weeks of buying thousands of Coke bottles and many more hours of opening and pouring, the magnificent Coca-Cola pool was created,” writes YouTube user Ryan of his “epic” carbonated swim. So how many gallons of soda did it take to fill an entire pool? 1,500 and counting. Watch the video here.

And the most important thing we learned today…
An Instagram lesson from Mindy Kaling: Having two kinds of birthday cake is so much better than having just one.
