Hasta La Gadget!

I do know of parents who originally wanted to bring their kids to watch “Ted”, but after reading movie reviews online and realizing that this talking teddy bear is a whole lot more profane compared to the average playground chatter, they decided to settle for a different movie – which is more child friendly, too. I guess if you are one of those who are old enough to watch Ted on the silver screen, you too, can handle having a Ted-friendly mug in your office. I am referring specifically to the $17.99 Talking Ted R Rated Talking Mug, and as its name suggests, this mug has a mind of its own and can speak for itself, but it is all R-rated speech, so do keep this out of reach of little kids, all right?

After all, a mug is no good if you cannot put whatever you want in it, And with the Talking Ted R Rated Talking Mug, you can throw in coffee, tea, hot chocolate, soup, vodka, moonshine or absinthe, whatever drinkable liquid you desire, and your friend Ted will still welcome it, being by your side each time you take a swig. How does the Talking Ted R Rated Talking Mug work? Every time you lift it off a surface, Ted will mention a phrase from the movie at random, although his library is limited to just 5 phrases which tend to be full of swear words. It is powered by a trio of removable 3LR44 batteries.

A few weeks back, we told you about some awesome ice cream cups and mugs that look like zombies. Well the guys behind that Kickstarter project are also working on a cool goblet, inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos.

Created in collaboration with the guys behind the Achtung!Cthulhu RPG, this ghastly green ceramic goblet is the perfect pimp cup for those times when you’re feeling evil. It’s a pretty awesome looking vessel, though it really needs some wings on it so it can truly fit the description of the Lovecraftian monster.

If you pledge at least £20 (~$31 USD) over on Kickstarter before this Sunday, April 28th, you’ll be able to get your very own Cthulhu goblet (in either ice cream cup or beer mug variants.)

Zombie fans, check out these fun Zombie head ice cream cups and beer mugs. The ice cream cups allow you to eat their cool chilled brains instead of them eating ours.

While the ice cream bowls are shallow so you can see the ice cream brains sticking out. The beer mugs look pretty awesome too, with hatchets and pistols and stuff stabbed through their heads, doubling as handles.

Any zombie fan would love to have these in their kitchen and display them proudly.

If you like them, you can help fund the project. A pledge of £15 (~$23 USD) will get you a single zombie ice cream cup or mug. And for those of you who prefer Cthulhu to zombies, you can go for the Lovecraftian version for £20 (~$31 USD). The project is already well on its way to reaching its £15,000 (~$23,000 USD) goal and still has 18 days to go.

Red Solo cups are a staple at every party – except at fancy ones, that is. They’ve become sort of like a symbol for parties where alcohol is particularly abundant. This image was no doubt bolstered by movies which show everyone chugging down from a red cup with the music playing full-blast.

But who says red cups are only for holding beer or punch?

If Red Cup Living had their way, you’d be using red cups at your fancy dinners, too. They’ve recently reconfigured the iconic red cup into all sorts of other cups that frequent alcohol consumers would almost immediately recognize. In addition to the traditional tumblers, there’s a 14 oz. wine cup, a 15 oz. margarita cup, a 12 oz. cocktail cup, an 8 oz. wine cup, and a 2 oz. shooter cup. Unlike the cheap originals, these ones are crafted from durable, double-walled, break-resistant ABS plastic and are dishwasher-safe.

There’s even a 12 oz. coffee mug which you can use the morning after, made from stoneware instead of plastic.

The cups debuted last week at the International Housewares Association show and they’re already available for sale online, with prices ranging from $4 to $10(USD) each.

Geeky coffee drinkers can now construct their own mug thanks to a cool new coffee cup from ThinkGeek, called the Build-on Brick Mug. The coffee cup has all the little bumps and holes you need to attach building blocks from LEGO and other manufacturers to the outside.

While it’s not officially-licensed by any building block manufacturers, the 12 ounce mug is compatible with LEGO, PixelBlocks, MegaBlocks, KRE-O, and K’Nex Bricks. Keep in mind that it doesn’t ship with any blocks, you have to provide your own. But you’re reading Technabob, so you must have at least a few bricks kicking around the house, right?

It’s made from sturdy BPA-free plastic, which can hold up to the heat of a cup of coffee or tea, but it isn’t advised to put it in the microwave or dishwasher – unless you’re in the market for a blob of melted plastic. You can buy the Build-on Brick mug now for $19.99(USD) over at ThinkGeek.
