Super Mario Gumball Machine Aquarium: Do Mushrooms Grow Underwater?

Etsy artist H2retrO has created a unique aquarium. This aquarium not only resides inside of a gumball machine, but it is also Super Mario themed. Or at least it’s got a couple of Mario figurines sitting inside it.

The downside to this thing is that you can’t put a gold coin in it and get some gum, but the upside is that you have a pretty unique aquarium that will impress your friends. It even lights up. It looks like Mario and Toad are working together to complete the underwater level.

The entire piece stands just over three feet-tall, but the aquarium itself isn’t very big, so if you buy it, I would suggest you only put one small fish inside. You’ll have to get your gum elsewhere.

Gumball Machine brings home some nostalgia

gumball-machineThere is nothing quite like thinking back of the good old days, especially when you are a whole lot younger and life was simpler then. In fact, the summers in your day tend to be a whole lot longer, don’t you think so? Of course, on the flipside, it would also feel as though your school years were stretched pretty long as well, with each day passing by all too slowly. I am quite sure that many of us too have had fond memories of a gumball machine by the side of a road, or outside a convenience store. Why not bring home a tinge of nostalgia with the $129.99 Gumball Machine?

Needless to say, there has been variations made to the classic gumball machine as we have seen in the past, but this particular Gumball Machine intends to remain true to its calling, sporting a 7.5″ cast metal base, a large 7.5″ clear glass globe and a matching cast metal floor stand. All you need to do is provide it with gumballs of your favorite flavor, and you are good to go. Needless to say, you can also opt to settle for candy or other kinds of small treats, and you hold the power in adjusting the dispensing mechanism so that the amount of goodies dispensed can be varied. If guests whom you do not like happen to drop by but have no choice other than to welcome them in (the in-laws sound familiar to you?), why not ensure it will only accept coins?

Zombie Head Gumball Machine Makes You Crave Brains

This gumball machine is pretty gross since it is made out of what looks like a real human head. You have to really want a gumball bad to get one from this machine.

How would you like to be the guy chosen for this project? You are just living your life, minding your own business. You have a good life, but then you die. You are looking forward to a little rest in peace. And then somebody goes and makes your head into a gumball machine. That’s gotta be one of the worst insults that can befall anyone.

Well, if there is an afterlife, maybe this guy will come back and mess with the person who created this crazy thing, giving them some payback. It’s pretty cool, but I don’t need gum that bad.

(P.S. This is NOT made from a real human head – it’s actually a sculpture by Thomas Kuebler, but that doesn’t make it any less creepy.)
