Aug 14 2009 A Long Time Ago In A Restaurant Far, Far Away: Lightsaber Chopsticks
Why it's taken so long to produce some good looking lightsaber chopsticks is beyond me. I mean, they just make sense. Like wind energy and peeing in the sink, but with a culinary flair. Available in three colors, the $10 sticks are the perfect utensils for devouring tauntaun and Ewok dishes. But don't go trying to eat that shit Yoda fixes on Dagobah! The runs like you're about to be trampled by an AT-AT.
Hit the jump for one more shot of the sabers in hand.

Apr 29 2008 The OctoDog Slices Wieners, Is Really Cute
OctoDog is a $16 kitchen utensil that slices hot dogs into a fun octopus shape (the eyes even poke eye holes in the dog). It's totally freaking awesome. Because, if there's one thing I learned growing up, it's that hot dogs are made of pig lips and assholes and only taste right if they're in the shape of an eight-legged sea creature. Hit the jump for a bunch more pictures of what you can do with your newfound hot dog friends as well as an instructional video on how to use the slicer. Just a word of warning though: DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT purchase one of these if you're a man and currently cheating on your wife/girlfriend. Or if you just fight regularly and she has ever made any sort of threat to "slice your pecker up". If that's the case you should probably even delete your browser history and cookies so there's no chance she'll ever see this thing.
Worthwhile pictures and a video after the jump.

Nov 16 2007 Knife Block Resembles Circus Side Show
The Throwzini Knife Block isn't your ordinary knife receptacle. Okay it is, but at least it looks good. Reminiscent of this knife rest, it resembles the 'Rotating Wheel of Puncture Wounds' I saw at a circus once as a kid. It was awesome, the dude caught a knife right in the leg. Blood was spurting like a ruptured fire hydrant. Urban Trends will be selling these soon, for an undisclosed price. I managed to get my hands on one early, and I've got to say I'm a little disappointed. I thought you were actually supposed to throw the knives into the slots, and that magnets or something would guide them into their holes. I ended up losing the two smallest toes on my right foot, my left thumb, and a cat before I figured it out that's not how it works.

Jun 20 2007 Froggetmee Combines Spoon And Chopsticks
Froggetmee is a combination utensil similar to the Chork which combines a soup spoon and pair of chopsticks. It costs $8 off shopmodi, though I don't understand how they named it. I know it's tough to combine 'soup spoon' and 'chopsticks' into one word, but 'froggetmee' isn't even close. It's like they just dropped something on their keyboard and went, "Yeah, that's a good name for this."
Jun 4 2007 Credit Card Cutlery
If you've ever thought to yourself, "Hey, I really wish there was a fork and knife in my wallet," then you've got serious mental issues. But you'll also be glad to hear about Credit Card Cutlery designed by Ineke Hans. You can purchase it for $10, and never again will you be without a fork or knife. You know, so if you're in the middle of the desert and a chocolate cake falls from the sky you'll be good to go.
May 2 2007 The Pessimist's Mug
Looks like somebody took this idea, and decided to translate it to English and turn it into a mug. The Pessimist's Mug is exactly what it looks like. Uh, unless you thought it was a beaker. Because that's what I thought it was. A really crappy one with only one measurement: half.
Apr 13 2007 The chork is part fork part chopstick
The Chork is an eating utensil that combines the power of a fork with the power of chopsticks. Throw in the power of a tiger and you've got yourselves the deadliest utensil known to man.
