X-Ray Envelope Spray Lets You Peek at the Contents of Sealed Letters

Nobody likes a snoop. But if you’ve somehow managed to come up with a reason to justify why you need to go snooping into someone else’s mail, then this little can of Envelope X-ray Spray might help you out. I think the name of the product says it all, actually.

XRay Envelope SpraySome people advise holding a sealed envelope over steam to open the adhesive, so you can check the contents of the envelope without damaging it in the process. But if boiling water is a task you find too tedious and risky, then this spray is your next best alternative. Even though the makers of the X-ray Spray insist that it won’t damage or discolor the envelope or its contents, you can never be too sure – so use it at your own peril.

Basically, spraying this “magic fluid” (likely some kind of alcohol and propellant) over the envelope will make that area less opaque. It kind of looks like you got it wet with water, only it’s not water.

Each can of Envelope X-Ray Spray retails for $15(USD). Use at your own risk – tampering with US mail is actually a Federal offense.

Give Nicolas Cage a New ‘Do with Your Dry Erase Marker

I don’t always agree with the choices that Nicolas Cage makes with regards to his career, but I definitely have a strong opinion about his hairstyle – or his lack of one. Nicolas has been sporting variants of the same boring old ‘do for as long as I can remember. If it bugs you as much as it bugs me and his legions of fans and non-fans, then the good news is that there’s something you can do about it.

You won’t be able to make him change it, but you can try to convince him by showing him what he looks like with the help of a couple of dry erase markers and this handy dandy Nicole Cage whiteboard from Brandon Bird.

Nicolas Cage Hairstyle WhiteboardSo you won’t be able to use it for anything else, but at least you’ll be able to have tons of fun and tons of laughs while you unleash your creativity and share it with your bestest pals.

The Nicole Cage hairstyle whiteboard is on sale for $20 on TopatoCo.

Nic Cage Whiteboard Somehow Makes Nic Cage More Insane

Sure, you probably already have photos of Nicolas Cage hanging in most if not every room of your home. But Nic is so much more than a single shot can convey, and even a hundred of these approximations is an insult to the depth of his character. The Nicolas Cage Hairstyle Whiteboard, however, finally offers the flexibility you need to feel like Nicolas Cage is right there in the room with you—watching, furrowing his brow, and screaming incoherently at only the most appropriate times.

Sonic Wallets Sound off When You Spend Cash

While it’s always fun to buy things, it’s not always fun that you have to deplete your funds to make it so. These new wallets serve as a not-so-subtle reminder to think about how you’re spending your precious cash every time you open them up.

scream sonic walletEach of the Sonic Wallets offer a variety of unique sound effects to accompany the imagery on its outside. For instance, the Edvard Munch-inspired “The Scream” wallet lets out a horrible variety of blood-curdling screams whenever you open it to take out your cash or credit cards:

There are a total of eight designs available, including an American flag, baseball, Buddha, drum machine, Jesus, Moolah the Cow, and my personal favorite, the Shakespearean insult wallet:

Though I’m not sure if the wallet is tossing barbs like “You are a tedious fool” and “Out of my sight, though dost infect my eyes!” at the snot-nosed punk cashier or at the owner of the wallet.

Each wallet is made from durable Dupont Tyvek, and sells for $19.95(USD). Check out all of the different designs and sounds over at Gadgets & Gear.

Sure, these could get annoying after a while, but maybe that’ll teach you to spend less money – or the battery will eventually die (after a few thousand uses.)

Finger Trap Handbags: You’ll Be Stuck with This Purchase

Chinese finger traps are probably the bane of many children’s (and android’s) existences. Of course, it’s not much of a scare or prank once you figure out how to get your fingers out of the trap, but the trauma (“I’m going to be stuck like this forever!”) remains.

Picking up on how finger traps work is designer James Piatt, who managed to work its mechanism into a series of ladies’ handbags.

chinese finger trap bags The result? His Finger Trap line of handbags, which requires at least one trapped finger to ‘hold’ the bag. The full-sized version is best carried with three fingers trapped in the handles (or shall I say, finger-dles?) It comes with a shoulder strap, in case you’d prefer to have full use of your bag finger while you’re carrying it.

Fingertrap Handbags2

This here is the mini version of the Finger Trap bag:

Fingertrap Handbags1

It’s definitely an unusual design inspired by an equally unusual puzzle. They don’t come cheap, either. The full-sized Finger Trap bag costs $725(USD), while the mini one retails for $125.

Bubble Wrap Bikini: Eyes Won’t Be the Only Thing That’ll Pop

You have to wonder: if that girl who was wearing the itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polkadot bikini was afraid to come out in the open, how would she feel if she were wearing this bubble wrap bikini instead?

Bubble Wrap Bikini1I know that there’s some sort of craze involving bubble wrap these days, but I never imagined that it would come to this. It’s not that it’s bad; it’s actually pretty cool in a very strange and offbeat way. It also kind of reminds me about that story about the emperor and his new clothes; while it’s definitely something to be awestruck about, it’ll leave the wearer exposed and out in the open, in the figurative and very literal sense.

As you can see, the bikini leaves nothing to the imagination. The bubbles on the bikini aren’t the only thing that’ll go pop when you wear it to the beach, that’s for sure.

Bubble Wrap Bikini

Apparently, this extremely daring bikini was an actual product from the early 1990s and was kept in storage (with minimal bubbles popped!) by Etsy seller BlackBettyVintage. The bubble wrap bikini is up for sale for $25 NZD (~$22 USD).

ManHands Soap Delightful Scents Include Beer, Muscle Rub, Top Soil, and “Urinal Mint”

Most men I know don’t smell like bacon, baseball gloves, top soil, or urinal cakes, but maybe it’s because the men I know take baths regularly and practice good hygiene. At least, I’d like to think so.

Nonetheless, it’s still funny to see ManHands’ line of man-branded soap featuring all sorts of weird and unusual scents like the ones I mentioned, plus more like muscle rub, bonfire, red wine, cash, and brewed coffee.

manhands scents 1The product page boasts that the soaps will make any man ‘smell like a man’ and ‘smell the way they need to smell.’ That’s pretty ironic, considering the fact that all 19 scents being offered smell, well, pretty disgusting to me. At least, I’d imagine they would, given the actual things they based on aren’t exactly stuff any girl (or guy) would want to sniff on a regular basis.

manhands scents 2

They are: bacon, baseball glove, beer, bonfire, brewed coffee, buttered popcorn, cannabis, cash, cedar log cabin, democrat(?), fresh cut grass, margarita, muscle rub, nag champa incense, obsession cologne, red wine, republican, top soil – and, saving the best for last – urinal mint.

Each 3-ounce bar of ManHands soap is priced at $6.95.

Beertone: What Color is Your Beer-achute?

Hardcore beer drinkers who want to try every beer there is on the planet (or at least, a majority of them) will want to get their hands on a handy reference guide called Beertone. Its name is obviously a play on Pantone, which is behind one of the most widely used color matching systems used by many companies today.

beertone color guideBeertone folds out to provide colors of 202 different Swiss brews that were tested. The lightest beers start the guide, and it ends with the darkest ones. Each Beer will be presented with picture, description and of course its color information in RGB, CMYK, Web, and SRM (that’s the beer color scale).

beertone color guide 2

The booze-guzzling guys behind the guide plan to expand their guide to feature beers from different parts of the world in the months and years to come.

Beertone is currently available for pre-order for $39(USD).

What Happened Last Night? These Bandages Will Give You the Perfect Excuses

Don’t remember what happened last night? That’s probably because it didn’t end very well. But aside from having to deal with your scrapes and bruises, the biggest problem you have to deal with is your parents (if you’re still young) or your significant other (if you’re already married.) But what better way to rattle off your excuses than by bandage?

What Happened Bandages1Each ‘What Happened Last Night?’ tin contains 25 excuses bandages to cover up any boo-boos and explain what happened in the process.

I don’t think kids will really get the concept of these bandages and I doubt you’d want to give these to them anyways (one of the band-aids say ‘beer-related incident.’)

What Happened Bandages

These hilarious bandages are available from the Fancy for $15 (USD).


Profanity Generator Lets You Get Creative with Your Curses

Here’s a couple of things you can do when you’re angry: grab your Damnit Doll, whip out your Calligraphuck Cards, or reach for your Profanity Generator. The first two options delay your expression of anger, while the last just helps you come up with words to describe it.

Creative Cursing Profanity GeneratorI’m not saying you should take the pad and yell out insults to the person who offended you. Rather, you might find that it actually helps dissipate your anger by showing you a neat selection of often humorous curses like ‘crap wad’, ‘fart monkey’, and ‘ass waffle.’ Yes, I said ‘ass waffle.’ With syrup.

The Profanity Generator is available online from Fred Flare for $10.95(USD).
