Chewed Gum Magnets

dana — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 18:19:51 +0000

I have a very bad deja vu feeling when looking at these magnets. But maybe you don’t. Maybe you like the look of chewed gum on your refrigerator. At least they will stop some of your friends from eating your food all the time. And, fortunately, the rude looking „Stuck up already been chewed gum magnets” don’t change color, shape and smell like the real wads of gum I had under my desk in grade school.

I admire the realistic touch given by the teeth, of course, but also by the four assorted flavors – pink bubble gum, spearmint, peppermint, and tutti-frutti. Be careful though when giving these to your friends, especially if you’re sharing the house. They might get so used to sticking notes with gum that will turn to the softer and more yucky one when they run out of magnets.

Fake Gift Boxes

30 minutes to pick the perfect wrapping paper? Lots of money to get your present gift-wrapped? Naaah, why waste time and money when you can get a perfectly good gift box in a couple of clicks?

Well, perhaps because these gift boxes are printed with stupid fake gifts. The set has four to choose from:
- Visorganizer – an organizer made to be worn on the visor of your hat
- 28-Piece Professional Whisk Set – a LOT of whisks
- Peaceful Progression Smoke Alarm – well, “alarm” is not the right word, as the supposed nature sounds will only ensure you die peacefully, in your sleep
- Auto Power Strip – a power trip that allegedly lets your plug in 8 items

Use these to get back at old enemies or to make fun of friends. Given the amount of crap on sale nowadays, they all seem credible.

Pick Up Line Generator

Jen — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 17:57:25 +0000

It must be tough being a guy nowadays. Girls are no longer waiting for a knight in shining armor to marry them. They’ve gotten picky.

But someone thought of a solution (sort of): the Pick Up Line Generator. I can’t figure out if the product description is toungue-in-cheek or not, but I do hope so. “The Pick Up Line Generator has 40 of the world’s most effective pick-up lines including “Is it hot in here, or is it just you?”" Come on, that’s the lamest line ever! However, the device itself might prove more useful than the recorded lines. Guys could use the novelty factor, and coupled with a bit of self-confidence… I see success.

Of course, girls can counter with its companion, the Insult Generator, featuring classics like “You are pure inspiration for birth control.”

I Only Cook for the Cat Apron

Jen — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 12:43:11 +0000

For some, cooking is an art. For others (*cough*me*cough*), cooking is throwing the frozen fries into a pan. For yet others, cooking is something that happens to other people. Maybe you have a mom, a girlfriend or a boyfriend who doesn’t mind making food for you too. Then again, maybe they do mind.

The latter would probably enjoy this: an I Only Cook for the Cat apron. When cooking for the cat probably means opening a can, this is a life anyone would want (this, plus money to eat out).

Or, another idea: maybe you’re cat owners and you want to remember your significant other or relative who has which responsabilities. You – feeding the cat, him/her – cooking, cleaning, shopping, working. And, anyway, you can never go wrong with a drawing of a cute cat.
