Tool Silverware is a set of silverware with tools built into the back. Or tools with silverware built into the back. It's hard to tell which. I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be both though. Even men wouldn't get excited about using a spoon covered in motor oil. Unless it w... / Continue →

The CrushPak is a new yogurt container which uses 36% less plastic and let's you squeeze the yogurt into your mouth via, uh, crushing. Although I don't see how this is any better than Go-Gurt's squeeze tubes. I guess squeezing a little container is so much more mature than sque... / Continue →

Saljoe is a coffee table shaped like a snowflake that rotates so that the top interacts with the snowflake design below it. It also serves as a Lazy-Susan so that you can pass things around it. Unfortunately the design makes it very difficult to use, since there's only one port... / Continue →

This is a fish tank at the Oita Marine Center that has open holes in the side where you can feed the fish. There's a vacuum holding the water in so that it doesn't pour out, but still allows the fish to swim out and be fed or pet. Or molested, if you're really really disgusti... / Continue →
