Living Food

A running gag in the strip is Thaddeus Euphemism and Bob creating living food via genetic engineering or nuclear power.

List of instances

 * In one strip, Thaddeus found stickers on food annoying, so he invented a talking (eyeless) apple that would simply say its price. However, it did not want to be eaten. The apple (revealed by John Sutton to identify as male and have a name Frank N. Apple) later appears being unamused by Thaddeus's apple pun.
 * In one strip, Thaddeus is seen explaining to some giant, talking pickles that the group actually wanted megapixels.
 * One of the mega-pickles reappears with a giant corn cob when Thaddeus and a woman are discussing the safety of GMO food.
 * In the very next strip, Bob is seen giving three of those giant corn cobs a bath in a hot tub.
 * One series of strips appeared to involve Thaddeus, Bob, and another scientist named Edward Miller, being abducted by some living potatoes named the Tubernati. At the end, it was revealed to be a dream, although it also confirmed the existence of one living potato.
 * In one strip, Thaddeus discusses GMO food again, accompanied by another mega-pickle, this one named Gary, and a mega-banana.
 * Not a food, but a drink: in the Weight loss arc, some sentient coffee refuses to mix with skim milk.
