Clean Hands, Happy Tummies: Pizza in a Cone

Eating a slice of pizza on the go isn’t the neatest option on the menu. But it’s technically a quick meal on the go, and if you’ve gotta eat, you gotta eat.

Aiming to make eating pizza less of a mess is KonoPizza.

Pizza ConeWith over 130 locations worldwide, KonoPizza serves up pizza in a cone in all sorts of outrageous flavors, including the likes of Tiramisu pizza that’s filled with cream, biscuit and coffee syrup. There’s also the breakfast-in-a-cone pizza called Pancetta Prima that’s filled with eggs, bacon, and cheese. If you’re not as adventurous, you can go for the usual pizza toppings as your cone fillings, like cheese, sausage, and ham. Plus, each KonoPizza is portion-controlled, so they’re actually pretty low in calories and fat.

So far, there are only a couple of U.S. locations of Kono Pizza, including one in Edison, New Jersey, and another opening very soon in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Mmm-hmm!

Traffic Cone Salt and Pepper Shakers are No Accident

I don’t know about you guys, but I have more salt and pepper shakers than I really should have in my house. But it’s stuff like this that makes me add to my collection of offbeat shakers with no end in sight.

Designed by Labyrinth, these salt and pepper shakers are made up to look like those annoying traffic cones that always seem to be right in the middle of the lane you just moved into – or in the parking space you were about to take. At least when you knock these over, you won’t risk damaging the undercarriage of your car – but you might end up with some bad luck if you tip the salt over. Spilt pepper, on the other hand, will just make you sneeze.

Each traffic cone shaker measures about 4-inches-tall, and they come in a nice box perfect for gift-giving. The pair sells for $32 to $37(USD) over at the designboom shop, depending on whether you live in Europe or elsewhere around the globe.
