Cookie Dunker Lets You Dunk Cookies the Way They Were Meant to Be Dunked

I’ve been dunking my cookies ever since Oreo launched their Twist, Lick, and Dunk campaign. Suffice to say, I’ve encountered a number of problems in the dunking process that you might have experienced yourself.

For example, spilled milk. When you’re dunking in a full glass of milk, there’s bound to be some spillage. Then there’s the opposite problem of too little milk left. You have to tilt the glass and push your hands as far into the glass as you can to dunk your cookie. Not a very pleasant experience.

So for these and all your other cookie dunking woes, there’s the Cookie Dunker.

Cookie Dunker1

Cookie Dunker looks like one of those wide-mouth cups that toddlers use to practice drinking from a glass, but there are a couple of marked differences: the rounded internal bottom, to fit the curve of your cookie perfectly; and the narrow cross section at the bottom that makes dunking in lower milk levels easier to achieve.

Cookie Dunker2

These are all first-world problems, of course – problems that we’re all very lucky to have.

The Cookie Dunker is up for funding on Kickstarter, where a minimum pledge of $23(USD) will get you a two-pack. Because one should never dunk alone.

Apple’s Spaceship HQ Is Getting a Downgrade From Absurd to Just Plain Extravagant

GIGS.2.GO: Portable Tear and Share USB Flash Drives

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you desperately needed a flash drive but couldn’t find one to save your life? It’s times like these where something like the GIGS.2.GO would’ve been useful.

The question is, what’s GIGS.2.GO? It’s about the size of a credit card and it’s basically just four USB drives arranged into one neat little package.

GIGS.2.GO

The premise that Kurt Rampton and the BOLTgroup were working with when they designed GIGS.2.GO was to provide people with emergency thumb drives that they can just keep in their wallet.

Thanks to the “Tear and Share” technology, the card of drives will come in especially handy for people who work with large teams. Just tear off a drive, save your data, and pass it along to whoever needs it.

GIGS.2.GO1

GIGS.2.GO is designed to be produced from 100% post-consumer molded paper pulp, so they can be labeled easily with a pen or marker.

There’s no word on if or when you’ll be able to buy one though.
