For the modern-day refined caveman that wishes to drink in style there has never been many options. However, no longer must evolutionary holdouts succumb to the indignity of having to sip an 18-year-old single malt Scotch from a glass chilled with common ice cubes. Surely success has some rewards, and for the discerning caveman who has lasted this long there can be no greater reward than surviving itself. Oh, that and these Whiskey Stones
It’s no secret that cooking can be fun, but when it comes to making pasta, the Pasta Pasta Maker from Takara Tomy takes fun to a whole new level. Reminiscent of the Play-Doh Fun Factory (as is this), the machine uses a set of stamps and molds for creating eight different types of Italian pasta. This pasta-making machine may come to us from Japan, and the manual is in Japanese, but considering all the practice you probably put into making inedible Play-Doh patties and the such, I think you will be able to figure it out.

You are what you eat, right? In that spirit, it seems only natural to show off these Plush Guts from I Heart Guts. Over a dozen varieties are available, but the one close to my heart has to be the Stomach Plush. (Of course, in the strictest sense, I would have to purchase the Heart Plush too for this to be accurate, but the sentiment is there.)
A buddy of mine at one time owned an old ‘portable’ CD player in name only. Smaller than the actual CD, the payer operated by spinning the disk in the open air. As the disc passed the enclosed portion the laser read the CD and sent the music to attached speakers or headphones. Of course, the fact that the CD was spinning furiously meant you could not move it while it was playing. Yes, it may have been as small as an iPod, and yes, it did actually play CD’s, but it may as well have been a stationary player.
Despite instantly reminding me about a ridiculous concept for a portable CD player, the Presto Pizzazz Pizza Oven

Refrigerators can become cluttered places. Adding to the confusion, amidst all the fresh food waiting to become meals, leftover ingredients lurk behind every corner. Sometimes you may know that you have a half-used tomato, but actually finding it becomes a chore in and of itself. Not so, when using the Produce Saver Set.
Designed to look like the food item they contain, the storage devices keep freshness and flavor in, while making it easy to find what you are looking for in the fridge. The twist-lock plastic containers are sold in sets of two and come as a red and yellow onion set, a garlic and tomato set, or as a lemon and lime set.
***UPDATE 12/4/24: I hope nobody ate the produce saver set because it is no longer available! Here though is a 4 Pack Fruit and Vegetable Storage Containers Set for Fridge, complete with handy dandy stickers for instant produce recognition. Except for whatever that yellow thing is in the bottom left.
This cherry pitter looks hungry. In fact, judging by the expression, I’d say the Cherry Chomper Cherry Pitter downright loves cherry pits. Which is OK, because as much as this little guy appears to like ‘em, I don’t like cherry pits.
The cherry pitter chomps down on inserted cherries — or olives too, but don’t tell him that — and collects the pits in a reservoir in his belly. Pop the cherry out via access in the back, and you’ve got yourself a fresh cherry ripe for eating. With the enthusiastic Cherry Chomper by your side, it won’t take long before you have yourself a nice big bowl of (pit-less) cherries. From Talisman Designs.
