Lace packing tape may not be an innovation that is ground-breaking or life-altering and we could go on very well without it, but it is one of those little innovations that make life just a little more beautiful and fun. Why keep sending plain brown paper packages when you can dress them up and add just a touch of sexy to them? And just because it is called packing tape why should you stop there?
For years the way everyone stored extra toilet paper by hiding it in one way or another. Who were we kidding? Why were we ever being modest in the least modest room in the house? Now you can not only store your extra loo rolls out in plain sight — and even be making a design statement with them. The Toilet Paper Tree is a new way to store your extra tissue and hearkens back to the days of your misspent youth when you put toilet paper in trees for a different reason.
If there is one chore that most people really hate in the winter it is shoveling snow. If only there was a way to shovel the walks as easily as walking. Well, apparently some people think that there is! Enter the Shoe Shovel. Instead of breaking your back you can work out your thighs and glutes by shoving the snow out of the way. So simple, so easy, so . . . unreal.
An elementary school in Wuhan, China has installed swinging metal bars on classroom desks that prevent students from looking too closely at reading and writing materials, therefore helping them avoid becoming nearsighted.
It is a growing trend to for businesses that have nothing to do with
sex, to use it to give them an edge in their market. They use
provocative tricks to grow, which is of course controversial. Women are
typically the ones putting themselves on display for the benefit of men
in such businesses. The reverse business structure is marginally less
common, not because there isn’t a market, but because many women prefer
to be more discreet when it comes to male ogling. At least, they did
until Hollywood decided to make a movie about men shaking what their
mommas gave them.
There are many places that you might expect to find a vegetable garden these days, from schools to rooftops. No longer are they limited to farms and backyards. Even with all of these new places opening up, it is still very odd to think of a garden at a busy airport. Not just a garden — a vertical, aeroponic garden full of fresh vegetables that supply the restaurants inside Chicago O’Hare International Airport.
The art of making special, beautiful coffins is many hundreds of years old — from the sarcophagi of ancient Egyptians to the figurative caskets for the chiefs and priests of the Ga people in Africa. Over the past few decades this has evolved into an amazing art form practiced by artists in Ghana. You can be buried in pretty much any kind of coffin you choose — from a Mercedes, to a Coke bottle, to a chicken.
Feces Scale
I have a friend who tries to calm my food fears by reassuring me that something that doesn’t weigh a pound cannot make me gain a pound. Fine! But what about the bag of chocolate covered nuts (they’re filled with protein) I ate this morning? The one I forgot to weigh on my food scale? How much of that have I got sitting inside of me, threatening the needle of my bathroom scale? read more »
Manufacturers actually adding Tide to clothing ahead of time is not exactly a go-to thought. Since it is a gimmick aimed at the chronically laundry-challenged — college students — it makes a lot more sense. The t-shirts come with a variety of scenes of mothers crying over the enormous pile of laundry their kids have brought home for them to do was created by Leo Burnett, the company’s ad agency in Poland.
There is a big business in scaring people, and it is a concept that
doesn’t just find people knocking down its haunted doors for Halloween.
Many major tourist areas across North America feature haunted houses and
mazes that have people lining up to pee their pants as people jump out
of the shadows. While the more traditional scare providers are still
successfully operating, there is a new type of terror in town competing
in the market, and it creates a unique and scary experience that rivals
some popular, nightmare inducing movies.
