Every kitchen needs a funnel, but not every kitchen needs snails. However, that doesn’t mean the two can’t get along. In fact if you put them together you get the DCI Snail Funnel
The collapsible snail funnel is a fun way to go about many kitchen tasks — albeit very slowly. Perfect for pouring honey or molasses into small jars or otherwise, the fun kitchen tools could probably even be used with faster pouring ingredients — just don’t add salt.
Where do they come from? Those little pesky bugs that appear out of thin air the moment a bottle of wine is opened. It’s like they have a little wine radar and come flying in from miles around as soon as a cork is popped.
The Wine Veils
The wine accessory simply drapes over a filled wine glass (or an empty one for that matter, if for some reason one was so inclined) and four small silver charms hold it in place. The cover acts as a bug guard, leaving the poor little critters sober and left out in the cold.
And the bugs? Well, they can just go back to being invisible — and hopefully stay that way!
Bugs in the kitchen are usually not a good thing (unless you are eating them, but that’s another story). However images of bugs crawling all over the refrigerator are not a bad thing. Especially when the creepy crawlies are captured and confined to a bottle cap.

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.
Feeling buggy? Perhaps it is because you are using this Backyard Bug Bundt Pan. Or perhaps it is because you aren’t using it enough. I don’t know; I’m not too well versed on the eating of bugs. But, either way, you could be eating an exclusive bug diet with this thing. But the good kind of bugs, not those so-called Bizarre Foods, that Andrew Zimmern is always making faces at on TV. Since we’re talking cakes and other assorted sweets here, we’re talking about delicious bugs. Yum!
Pancakes are more fun when they are not round. Something that lives inside each and every one of use inspires us to manipulate pancake batter as often as we can. Perhaps it is because the pancake is so round that we are urged to improve upon it. After all, it pretty much is a round blank canvas, and maple syrup only goes so far.
If you’re not the Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity type, then perhaps you can indulge your pancake-manipulating fantasies with the Garden Creatures Pancake Molds. A set of three, including a snail, a butterfly and a ladybug, the nonstick cookware makes transforming your breakfast into an easy affair. Just pour in the batter and after it sets remove the mold. The result is a metamorphasized breakfast meal and a deep inner satisfaction that no boring ol’ round pancake is safe around you.
