Want a real way to keep ants away from your picnic? Eat them. No, not those tiny little walking black dots that get lost in the folds of the picnic blanket. To truly get their attention, you need to gobble up their leaders like you’re Andrew Zimmern. These Giant Toasted Leafcutter Ants from ThinkGeek are just the thing. Real, edible ants, toasted just for you and put in a jar—just like any other snack. Each ant measures about an inch long and are said to have a nutty, bacon-like taste—a perfect compliment for the cold fried chicken and potato salad.
Daybreaker Sandwiches: Warm Inside And Out
Advertising firm Colle + McVoy created an innovative campaign for Caribou Coffee by transforming bus stops into mock toaster ovens. Complete with real working heaters, the larger than life installations are designed to promote toasted breakfast sandwiches.
From the firm:
To help Caribou Coffee launch its hot and fresh Daybreaker breakfast sandwiches, we decided to heat things up a bit. To do this, we created ovens out of transit shelters, complete with real heaters and working clocks. This not only allowed us to showcase Caribou’s new “Hot ‘n Wholesome†menu items, it also benefited Minnesotans during their frigid winter commutes.
Oh, and because it is the point after all, here’s the website for Caribou Coffee.

Owls Ask Who Would Like Some Salt And Pepper
Collectible salt and pepper shakers have one major flaw: they aren’t grinders. Freshly ground pepper is vastly superior to the pre-ground sawdust that populates store shelves. The solution? Stick the salt and pepper shakers on the shelf and look at them while you grind whole pepper over your meal. While freshly ground pepper may taste better, it usually doesn’t come in an overly cute container. Overly cute, as in cute overload, as in: Grasslands Road Petals Owl Salt And Pepper Set. While the small salt and pepper shaker set won’t maximize the flavor of the meal, it may just be perfect for the owl fanatic on your gift list, allowing them to stare at each other throughout every meal.
