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.

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 mixes classic styling and important features into one fun unit.

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.

Apple Cooker Set Cores And Cooks

An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but after a while it can boring eating the same thing day in and day out. For a change of pace try baking an apple. Add cinnamon, a little brown sugar and a dab of butter and you got yourself a sweet treat that’s good to eat. Don’t bake the core though; you’re going to need to remove that. Also, you’re going to need something to cook it in… something like this Mastrad Fruit Cooker Set. Featuring a combination scoop and corer to complement the fun apple shape, the silicone cooker has the added benefit of reminding you of what’s in the oven.

Sticking Sushi On The Fridge

DCI Gifts Mini Sushi Magnets

How do you tell when sushi is done? Well, if it weren’t a trick question, one might take the spaghetti approach and throw a piece at the fridge to see if it sticks. In the case of the DCI Gifts Mini Sushi Magnets, it would. While that method may be tried and true, as any college kid will tell you, the test spaghetti doesn’t always make it off the wall and into the trash. Modern art has to start somewhere. But anyways, back to the fish: sold as a set of ten, the refrigerator magnets offer all of the fun of having fish stuck on the fridge, but without any of the associated smell.

The Shakers That Wobble

Wobble Mini Grinders

Everybody knows that it is impolite to play with your food, but what about condiments and spices? Well, at least when it comes to salt and pepper, it seems to be okay. The Wobble Mini Grinders encourage mealtime fun with their rounded bases. At the table they may pose as a mundane accessory, but just try not to set them rocking. If they’re anything like those Weebles of yore, it might take until the end of the meal to knock them down.
