Hot Dog Hut Says Play Ball!

Paragon Hot Dog Hut Steamer and Merchandiser

Baseball season is about to get into full swing. A couple of games have already been played, but by this weekend all of them will be up and running. It is just the start of the baseball season, so there is still time to get your hot dog game on. And that means, of course, time to get a new hot dog hut!

The Paragon Hot Dog Hut Steamer and Merchandiser is a durable, full-size steamer that will last all season long. It can hold 200 regular dogs at a time, or considerably less “Champion Dogs” (aka ‘the $26 hot dog’).

Unfortunately, despite providing more than enough room for a hot dog per game, the appliance only holds 42 buns, so, sadly, an occasional trip to the store will be necessary. Just look at it as an opportunity to pick up more peanuts and Cracker Jacks. Play Ball!

Sad Toast

Sad San Diego Chargers Toast

Seriously, the Chargers have a stupid logo. Especially considering how they have been playing. But fear not, sports fans: There are 31 other NFL Protoast Toasters to choose from!

But if for some reason you insist on being a Chargers fan, it should be noted that the above image was manipulated and the official Chargers logo doesn’t form a frowny-face. Yet.

Cupless Coffee?

Grinds Coffee Pouches

First there was smokeless tobacco and now we have cupless coffee. Marketed as an alternative to chew for baseball players (and beyond), Grinds Coffee Pouches are exactly what they sound like. However instead of inserting them into a capsule coffeemaker they are inserted directly into the mouth. It looks like they have been around for awhile (at least one World Series ago judging from the World Champions SF Giants love on their website), but their relative obscurity doesn’t mean they won’t be a hit. Order up!

Turns out the kitchen cabinet people, Schrock Cabinetry, are in cahoots with NASCAR Driver Paul Menard. Following a big win at the Brickyard 400, the sponsor will likely find themselves doing well going forward. Or in circles as the case may be. Press release follows.

The Cake Must Go On

The NBA may be suffering through a lockout (or whatever it is called when millionaires and billionaires bicker), but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a good basketball cake. The Sports Ball Cake Pan is a 4-piece set used to create spherical cakes. And whether or not the owners and players ever figure it out at least you can have your cake and eat it too.

The Autographed Authentic Yankee Stadium Seat Barstool

Re-inventing an item is a good way to get maximum usage out of an object. When they tore down Yankee Stadium, thousands of artifacts became available for re-purposing. And for sale. If you have a bar in need of a barstool (and an extra $8000 laying around), The Autographed Authentic Yankee Stadium Seat Barstool is just for you. And if the thought of sitting on autographs of Jeter and A-Rod make you squeamish, a non-autographed version will only set you back a grand.
