A wine rack is only as good its name. That is to say, wine racks are boring. You put a bottle of wine in or on one and then walk away. A rack for wine. Not to be consumed (at least at that time). The Ennospace Wine Shelf Rack Set Espresso
“Drinkify” To Your Heath With Tropicana Tropolis
Well news of this sort is sure to inspire ridicule. At the very least, in how it is presented. PepsiCo announced that they want to “snackify” drinks and “drinkify” food. Yes, they used those words. From the CEO of PepsiCo:
“We see the emerging opportunity to ‘snackify’ beverages and ‘drinkify’ snacks as the next frontier in food and beverage convenience.”
And the result? Tropicana Tropolis, a new “portable kids snack” that will be available in three fruit blends starting at the end of this month. Named CherryWorld, GrapeWorld and AppleWorld, the fruit squeezers are designed to appeal to kids while an “online universe will allow them to discover the fun in fruit through interactive games.”

Refrigerator Magnet Promises To Be Next Big Thing
Sometime next year (and hopefully not on April 1st), we will see a true revolution in refrigerator technology. Water and ice dispensers are one thing, but one that pours forth nacho cheese? Instant winner for Best Technology Of The Year.
The roots will be traced back and it will be realized that all credit for the idea belongs to Archie McPhee for their representation of a quality refrigerator door with this Refrigerator Upgrade Magnet. Of course, sooner or later some other company will improve upon the model and add chicken wings and frozen yogurt just like on the magnet. Of course regardless of the source of inspiration, a trick like getting your fridge to dispense french fries and chicken wings deserves all the accolades it gets.
Brew To The Dark Side
Yes, Star Wars does coffee. The branding machine that is the Star Wars empire has decided to plaster their name on whole bean coffee. Oddly enough, considering the popularity of coffee and the quality of those dreaded prequels, this move might just ensure the longevity of the franchise. Get your Star Wars Vader’s Dark Roast Coffee over at ThinkGeek and remember to brew to full strength for maximum enjoyment while crushing the rebel alliance.
Pop Goes The Retro Style Popcorn Popper
Popcorn is fun. It always has been and it always will be. As a snack food that can also be healthy, the nutritious little morsels that explode forth from the kernels are about as exciting as health food gets. (Just kidding.) Unsurprisingly, popcorn makers come in all shapes and sizes, and tend to slant towards serious fun. The Little Bambino 2-1/2-Ounce Table Top Retro Style Popcorn Popper by Great Northern Popcorn
Featuring a “revolutionary†(seriously—that’s how it is described) serving tray that settles in the base of the unit, the popcorn maker pops up to one gallon of popcorn per batch. A built in stirring system keep the kernels moving, while a handle mounted on the outside lets users pour the finished product out.
