Do you have a taste for Belgian chocolate? Then you’ll most likely develop a taste for Belgian stamps as well because they’re infused with cacao oil that lets you taste that rich, chocolatey flavor with every lick.

Both the front and back of these stamps have been coated with the infusion, so both the sender and recipient can get a small taste of Belgian heaven: the former, when they lick the adhesive part; and the latter, when the lick the outside of the stamp. On second thought, it might not taste as good for the recipient given it’s already gone through the entire postal system (and is probably extremely dirty by the time it’s received.)

Oh, well.

The stamp was recently sampled by collector Marie-Claire Verstichel, who declared that while the taste was a little disappointing, the smell of it was still oh-so-good. A sheet of five stamps cost about $8, which is a bit pricier than its original 5 Euro face value.

Now this is a marriage proposal that will resonate with Harry Potter fans. Rachel was ready to propose to her girlfriend Jaquie, so she enlisted the help of CustomMade, which some people have described as a cross between Etsy and Match.com. It’s basically a site that lets people find artisans who can turn their projects into a reality.

I think it’s safe to assume that Harry Potter played a major role in their relationship, because Rachel had her proposal fashioned after the most popular game in the wizarding world: Quidditch.

The Quidditch proposal set that Rachel commissioned included two Bludgers, one Quaffle, a bat, and of course, the Golden Snitch. All it needs is a charm spell to make everything come alive… Rachel hid the ring in the Snitch (where else?) and presented the set to Jacqui. She said “yes,” Voldemort is still dead, and all is well in the world.

If you want a custom Quidditch set of your own, then you can get one made by artist Anthony Albano for somewhere between $800 and $1,200 (USD).

Who wants to test drive a new car through the same boring streets they see every day? In a recent Renault advertising campaign to promote its’ new CLIO model, potential buyers are taken on an unusual test drive which ends on the streets of Paris, surrounded by scantily clad women or shirtless men. Now that’s what I call taking a look under the hood!

With spring comes the time to take care of the outdoor spaces that we have ignored all winter. For those who love to garden it is a time they have looked forward to with gusto. For those who aren’t so inclined they would rather do just about anything else. Now the non-gardeners have a new, unusual, and wild option — with Flower Grenades.

Apparently beer pong is now so popular that people are willing to play it even without beer involved. That’s what arcade machine maker Bay Tek Games found out when it unveiled their newest creation, Beer Pong Master. It plays a lot like the eponymous party game, except the cups have some form of lighting in them instead of beer.

Foodbeast saw the arcade machine at the recently held Nightclub & Bar Show in Las Vegas. Players have 60 seconds to try and shoot a ping pong ball into each of the 10 cups up front. The cups are lit when the game starts; shoot a ball into a cup and its light goes out. Like many arcade machines, up to four Beer Pong Master units can be connected for some sober multiplayer action. I’m pretty sure players won’t be asked to eat the lights in your opponent’s cups.

Beer Pong Master: a fun way to prepare for college!
