An entire horse? Well then, you better get a hold of the “I could eat a horse” spaghetti measuring tool from Icelandic designer Stefán Pétur Sólveigarson. What it does should be fairly clear from the picture. It comes in three models: green and white at €12.90, and for another €8, stainless steel.

We can’t really think of any occasion where we’d want to delicately spray citrus juice onto our food, but we’re not in any position to know as we consider deep fried pizza delectable. Should your gastronomical self be better suited to require such a thing, you should know that the Stem accessory in this article lets you take an actual citrus fruit and squirt the juice directly from it. Simply insert, squeeze and squirt. Clearly you won’t be able to get all the juice out of the fruit but if it’s fresh you’re after, then this is probably better than that bottled concentrated stuff we usually like to drown our fish and chips in.

The Stem is currently in the Quirky production process, which means it doesn’t yet have a date of availability, though their projected price for the item is $5. They’re honing the design and we do expect to see an actual product on shelves at some point.

Few things compare to the joy of eating pancakes with flowing rivers of silky sweet syrup. Little did we realize the experience could actually be enhanced through the clever design of a plate made specially for the task.

After a lifelong love affair with breakfast, [product designer John Wye] pin-pointed the crux of satisfaction: syrup. Designed with a raised edge that gently slopes the plate toward the diner and an ingenious reservoir for pooling loose syrup, this plate was made for slicing, dipping and delighting in each bite of pancake goodness.

A set of two will unfortunately cost $45 (steep price for a dollarstore shopper…) but sadly they are backordered until January 27th.

Next time a light bulb burns out, consider replacing it with these AudioBulb Wireless Speaker Light Bulbs. There’s an LED ring that outputs about as much light as a traditional 60W bulb, and a speaker in the center. The set of two connects wirelessly to a docking base station, which you can pair with iPhones, iPods of really any music device through the auxiliary input.

It’s $300 for the pair.

If you believe the above video, a traditional conversation between a microwave manufacturer and its advertising agency led to the creation of a new product. Or if not en entirely new product, then at least to the addition of one cool feature to the same old product. The BGH Quick Chef features a USB port that allows you to upload any song you like and use that as the chime that alerts you to your food being ready.

It’s cool.

And while there aren’t any pricing details, the video claims the Quick Chefs will be produced in 2012. As this is an Argentinian company, we’re not too sure about stateside availability. Heck, all we know is what you can see in the video for yourselves.

We’re not entirely sure what would be better: to come home to a house in ashes or to be texted of this fact as it’s happening. If you’re the type who’d rather know, the FireText fire alarm can be setup to send a predefined text message to up to 4 recipients. It’s quad-band GSM and is battery powered so there’s no wiring needed.

It’s £90 or about $140.

Nearly 7 years ago when OhGizmo! launched, it had an emphasis on design. It was just me back then and I remember being amazed at products that were elegant and ingenious in their design. And while I shifted focus somewhat after a while (smart design turns out to be pretty rare), I still get excited when I come across things like this Tipping Teacup.

The teacup has an unusual angled bottom that allows it to rest in two different positions. On one side is a screened compartment in which you place your favorite loose tea leaves. Pour hot water through the screen and allow it to steep. Once it’s done, simply tip the cup in the other direction, lifting the leaves up out of the water. The cup’s large size is perfect for cradling between your hands as you enjoy the warmth of your drink. Screen is removable for simple clean-up.

One cup holds 6 oz. and though it’s made out of plastic, it is not dishwasher safe. It comes in black or white and is $20.
