The Ziploc Jacket is the Perpetual Snacker’s Dream

By Hazel Chua on 05/13/13 • 2 Comments

Ziploc Jacket

A jacket sown entirely from Ziplocs won’t keep you warm at night or keep you dry when there’s a storm raging outside. However, it can let you snack to your heart’s content because after all, you are wearing a bag made from Ziplocs.

Obviously, it’s not recommended to fill any of the bags with liquids of any kind at all, even though you might use Ziplocs to store wet leftovers or snacks in your fridge at home. What it’s great for, though, are sandwiches, candy, pretzels, Pop-Tarts, chocolate, and chips.

The jacket became viral after Tumblr blogger Jaya wrote about how one of her friends put together the Ziploc jacket.

Jones Soda Releases Poutine Flavored Soda

By David Ponce on 05/13/13 • Leave a comment!

Poutine-Drink

Poutine is a French Canadian delicacy that involves topping fries with cheese curds and scaldingly hot gravy. The gravy then melts the cheese and creates a dish that’s as delicious as it appears to be artery-clogging. It’s an acquired taste for some, but being (somewhat) French Canadian myself, I can assure you it’s excellent. Now, Jones Soda has released a Poutine flavored soda, which it describes as “a nice balance of rich, savory gravy over a starchy potato base, and accented with those fatty, cheesy notes you expect in a plate of poutine.” They had us at Poutine, and we’re happy to see that it’ll be available in select regions of Canada, including of course Quebec.

Jones Soda makes other “special” flavours, such as Turkey and gravy, for Thanksgiving.

‘Ripe Tomato’ Haircut: Now You Can Be a Literal Veg Head

By Hazel Chua on 05/01/13 • Leave a comment!

Tomato Hair

There’s nothing wrong with being a veg head–unless you take things too seriously and turn yourself into one literally. That’s what some people in Japan are doing after visiting an Osaka salon called Trick Store. Located at the city’s so-called hipster district in Amemura, a hairstylist named ‘Hiro’ has created one of the most unusual hairstyles we’ve ever seen so far: the ‘Ripe Tomato.’

The hairstyle is basically features a layered cut and a colorful dye job to turn people’s heads into giant man-tomatoes. Oh, the crazy things Japanese hairstylists come up with sometimes.

LMAO: Dude Buys Toy Poodles, Gets Ferrets on Steroids Instead

By Hazel Chua on 04/11/13 • 2 Comments

Dog Ferrets

How can someone mistake a ferret for a toy poodle? When the latter has had its hair fluffed up with hair products and its system pumped with steroids, that’s what. It sounds ridiculous, but apparently, it’s actually happening in Brazil. A man was recently duped when he bought what he thought were two toy poodles for $150. A toy poodle normally costs $1000, so he probably thought he was getting a bargain…until he dropped by his vet and was told that his dogs were actually poodles instead.

Because since more traditional toy poodles (of the canine variety) can go for upwards of $1,000, one merchant at Argentina’s largest bazaar got the brilliant, nightmare-inducing idea to pump a few of what Argentinians refer to as “Brazilian rats” (otherwise known as ferrets) full of ‘roids and hair product, pass them off as warped, perhaps inbred poodles, and turn a handsome profit in the process.

When it’s too good to be true, it usually is. But I’m sure you already knew that.

P.S. Instead of buying pure-bred or toy dogs from a breeder or pet store, why not adopt an equally lovable pooch from your local shelter instead?

Make Your Beer All Frothy With Ultrasonic Technology

By David Ponce on 04/10/13 • 1 Comment

sonic-hour

They sure like a good head of foam on their beer, over in Japan. At least you’d think so when you consider this is the second product for making extra foam that we’ve come across, the first one being this self-frothing mug we wrote about last June. The Sonic Hour by Takara Tomy is a simple plastic base upon which you place a flat glass of beer; press a buttons and it’ll shake the bubbles to the top. We’re not convinced that this is going to make better beer, rather thinking it’s likely to make flatter beer. But hey, at $40 you can try it yourselves and see if this makes an acceptable solution to an inferior pour.

Protect Your Booze: Boiled Leather and Chainmail Beer Koozie

By Hazel Chua on 04/04/13 • 1 Comment

Beer Armor Koozie

Somewhere out there is a psycho who’s waiting in the wings, waiting for the moment when you’ll leave your booze unguarded. Don’t give him or her a chance to stab your can of booze and cause death by leakage; keep your beer by your side and cover it up in this boiled leather and chainmail beer koozie at all times for maximum protection.

So that’s an extremely improbable scenario, but hey, it could happen. The koozie was put together by DougFungus, who believes that beer cans should be provided with ample security. It won’t prevent people from stealing your beer, though.

Something Fishy This Way Comes: Google Unveils the All-New Google Nose Search Engine

By Hazel Chua on 04/01/13 • Leave a comment!

Google Nose

You gotta smell it to believe it. Google is well aware of this fact, which is why they launched their newest service: Google Nose. It is exactly what its name implies. Basically, you’ll have the same efficiency of Google web search, only you’re provided with the option of smelling your search results instead.

Search for ‘lemon’, and you’ll get a whiff of something citrusy and fresh. Google ‘new car’ and you’ll be treated to the scent of a brand new car of your preferred brand.

Double Front-Ender Car Lets You Drive It Either Way–Although Not At the Same Time

By Hazel Chua on 03/29/13 • 2 Comments

Double Front Ender Car

I have never seen a car like this double front-ended Ford until today. Have you?

This unique but not-very-practical vehicle was recently put on sale on Craigslist. It’s located near the California-Oregon border, in case you’re interested and want to check it out in person. Dubbed as the ‘clown car’, this custom Ford can be driven either way, although I don’t think you can do so at the same time.

Rice Krispy Treats Zombie Wants You to.. Eat Its Jello Brains?

Zombie Rice Krispies Cake

Do zombies have brains? I used to think that they didn’t, considering the fact that they move like unthinking beings. At least, that’s what they do on The Walking Dead anyway. Note that I said I ‘used to’, because if this edible bust of a zombie is to be believed, then it means that the undead are walking around with a brain in their not-so-thick-skulls–a brain made of Jello.

Obviously, I only mean this extremely awesome-but-gruesome zombie cake that was made by the Artisan Cake Company using Rice Krispy Treats, fondant, petal dust, and a whole lot of food coloring.
