In The Future, All Apparel Is Taco Bell

Not only will Taco Bell rule the future landscape as predicted in Sylvester Stallone’s “Demolition Man,” but the restaurant chain will also reign over our fashion choices. And the future is now.

Above, we see the ever-so-elegant Taco Bell Rings, while below, no self-respecting individual would be caught outdoors without a proper Taco Bell Foam Hat. Luckily, both fashion must-haves are available today. And even better news, the Taco Bell merchandise has free shipping on orders of $100 or more. That way, you can stock up and make sure your crew looks as good as you do.

***Update 10/22/24: Here is the current Taco Bell merch store. The above “Live Mas” store no longer works.

Tortilla Baby

The hottest gift of the holiday season is usually a toy, right? Well, the youngest ones need to have a say too — even if they haven’t learned to speak yet.

By all rights, the Tortilla Baby Swaddle Blanket should be the most popular gift of the year. It’s a round baby blanket made to look like a flour tortilla. Yes, it’s made for babies, but really it’s suitable for kids of all ages. Quite possibly the cutest thing ever.

Okay, everybody get ready to say ‘awww’ now…

Fried Chicken Candle

Scents of the Commonwealth- "Fried Chicken"

First there was chicken in a can, and now we have chicken in a candle. What a time to be alive.

Kentucky-centric site Kentucky for Kentucky has these fried chicken candles up for sale. Made in small batches by Kathy Werking, the Scents of the Commonwealth candle (something called Ale 8 being the other scent) is made from a “mouth-watering recipe.”

If you’re lickin’ your fingers hoping to click on through and pick one up one of these $22 fried chicken scented candles, sadly the first batch is sold out. Looks like the Colonel has some competition.

Pollos Hermanos Fry Batter Bucket

Fancy yourself a collector of odd food-related paraphernalia? The uber popular television show, Breaking Bad (“The best thing on television ever except maybe for The Wire” –Everybody), has wrapped and they are selling off some of the props. Yes, you can bid on Walter White’s Briefs but why would you want to? Perhaps instead, consider a Pollos Hermanos Fry Batter Bucket. The screen-used prop is guaranteed from Sony and for a starting bid of only $150, it could be yours. Fry batter and bullet holes not included.

***Update: These were items from Screenbid, an auction house that is now permanently closed.

Star Wars R2-D2 Soy Sauce Bottle Holder Dispenser

R2-D2 has it good. Despite the occasional foray into battle, the little droid does pretty well for himself. He gets carted around in spaceships, has a big gold buddy and is down with a princess. However, like all droids, every once in a while he needs a tune up. As in an oil change. Little did we all know, but R2-D2 runs on delicious soy sauce.

The Star Wars R2-D2 Soy Sauce Bottle Holder Dispenser is a handy dandy condiment dispenser that measures about four inches tall (so the Jawas won’t find him). Luckily with or without the scavengers, R2-D2 is ready for service. Dinner service that is. Who knew back in the 70s that R2-D2 leaking oil would be delicious for your rice? Aside from George Lucas, that is.

Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise Spatula

Oh those wacky minds over at ThinkGeek. The good news: the Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise Spatula is less than 25 bucks. The bad news: it’s not available yet. The better news? They made a video to promote it. Check it out in all its Star Trekesque glory after the jump and “get ready to beam up that food from a hot pan to a hungry tummy.â€
