Google Doodle celebrates July Fourth by letting you play baseball with your favorite foods
For the Fourth of July, Google wants you to play with your food.
The newest Google Doodle lets you play baseball, that classic American pastime, with a bunch of "characters" based on our nation's favorite foods. They include a hot dog ("H-Dog"), popcorn ("Power Pop"), and a corn on the cob ("Cobbra").

You can play on desktop or on mobile. After a brief intro, you get to start swinging away with a random food character.

Follow the on-screen instructions and, well, play ball against a team of peanuts while trying not to get too hungry.

And, for even further fun, here's a collection of initial character sketches shared by Google.

If you're going to while away the holiday on your phone, you might as well be smacking homers with a sirloin steak.
