Pac-Man Potholders

After nearly thirty years, I’m still surprised at the Pac-Man-related products that are being produced. What we have here is a Pac-Man potholder. What’s next? Pac-Man seat lifts ? I wouldn’t be surprised… or, I would. I think I just confused myself.

Anyway, this is the biggest innovation in video game-related kitchenware ever! Unfortunately, now I have the insatiable urge to eat a ghost-shaped cookie.

What, You Expect Bakeries To Be High Tech ?

A guy walks in to a bakery, and asks to have the image on a flash drive turned into a cake. When he comes to pick up his cake, he finds that the bakery made the cake with an image of the flash drive on it. I don’t know who to laugh at more here- the bakery or the customer- I understand that there might have been a communications breakdown somewhere, but to expect a bakery to not only have a computer on hand, but possibly a printer, too? I’m assuming that the name of the bakery wasn’t Kinko’s Bakery.

USB Lunchbox

That’s right, it’s a USB powered lunchbox, and I’m not even going to make fun of it. Are we shocked yet? Great. I’m going to top off my coffee while you’re recovering.

As I was saying, I won’t be mocking this product, because it is totally utilitarian- this lunch box uses USB power to heat your lunch to a toasty* 140 F. Just be sure to separate the colds from the hots before pluging it in, or you’ll end up with hot mandarin oranges for lunch. That’s not cool, all puns aside.

* toast may not actually be 140F, and I can’t be bothered to research this kind of stuff.
