This is the chemistry set of today. Those semi-dangerous labs-in-a-box are a thing of the past. Nowadays, they aren’t going to pack anything remotely dangerous into those learning kits, so you might as well look elsewhere for real fun. Since Junior no longer has the capability to produce searing acid baths for his action figures, the modern chemistry set might as well produce something useful: food!
I can just see the conversation now:
“Hey Hal, we got a warehouse full of these crappy air poppers that didn’t sell.â€
“Well, Tommy, you know cooking with kids is big…â€
“Yeah, but these ain’t made for kids.â€
“Tell you what, slap a big ol’ “FUN!†sticker on it and they will be. But not too big, stickers are expensive.â€
“I dunno… it’s still kind of… ugly. Maybe the boys will like it.â€
“No problem, but a pink hat on it for melting butter and problem solved.â€
“Hey, you just doubled our target market!â€
“That’s why I make the big bucks. Call it the blinQ Popcorn Factory and we’re done.â€
“You’re a genius!â€
“You’d be surprised, Tommy. We haven’t got anything new in since 1993.â€
For $29.95 you too can feel a part of the conversation.
One of the best things about coffee is that it can be enjoyed hot or cold. Start the morning off with a nice hot cup, and by the afternoon keep the caffeinated train going with an iced version. If there is any lull between cups of coffee, and it gets hard to concentrate or pay attention, Mr. Coffee has your back.
The Mr. Coffee Cafe Frappe Maker is a simple to use coffee-making gadget that brews and blends in three minutes time. Just add ingredients and press a button. The 20-ounce capacity blending jar will soon contain enough magic elixir for you to make it through the day—or at least until the next cup of coffee.
Brown paper bags may never go out of style, but at some point it’s time to step up your game when it comes to drinking in public. If you’re tired of getting hassled by the Man when getting your drink on, perhaps it’s time to class up the joint a bit. Any park, beach or street corner can be transformed into your own little watering hole with the BarGoGo Transformer Portable Bar.
Yes, it costs a thousand dollars, and sure, you have to stock it yourself, but when you roll up with a foldable bar this weekend, you’re sure to be the life of the party; in fact, you’ll literally make the party. Any cop seeing this getup is bound to pass right on by—but keep a stash of brown paper bags behind the bar, just in case.

Cheese nubs (and other small items) can be treacherous to grate. They are hard to get a grip on, and when you do wrangle them in, they eventually get too worn down to grasp. The Microplane 3-Piece Grater Set makes it easy to work with such items. The set includes an Extra Coarse Grater and a Medium Ribbon Grater, while the slider attachment saves fingers from all those hard-to-control items. If not for your fingers, perhaps for those that belong to whom you love; it is officially gift season after all. And all this time you thought it was the day after Thanksgiving.
Pumpkins must not mind being impaled by sharp objects. Around this time of year they do seem to always have that stupid grin on their faces. I’d say that’s proof positive that using the Pumpkin Pal Stake to illuminate the carcass jack-o’-lantern this Halloween is a-okay. Besides, using two AAA batteries won’t set the porch on fire when those damn teenagers knock the pumpkin over. Get off my lawn!
