Our weird item this week is actually a practical one, especially if people purloin your lunch on a regular bases. Put your sandwich/ food du jour into one of the pre-bugged lunchbags and scare the thieves away for sure. Note: these are not actual bugs, as that would be beyond gross, unless you are Andrew Zimmern and enjoy eating gross things such as cockroaches and flies for fun. Or if you are part frog. Ribbit.

Sidenote: These beauties are only $7.66 a box (click link or image to buy) and are well worth it if you’ve ever had to buy a lunch after your homemade lunch went missing.

 

1. Tin Can Robot


This may be weird or may be cool depending on your level of geekitude. The Tin Can Robot requires everything you need to recycle a soda-sized can into a robot — other than the can itself, batteries and a screwdriver. OK, so it’s a few parts and motors and things that could be found at a Radio Shack or pieced out of another motorized toy kit, but hey, this will save time. Build a few: have robotic Pepsi vs. Coke wars, or some lame-named American drink vs. Pocari Sweat. Anything with sweat in the title has to be good interesting, right?

2. Pocari Sweat


No, it’s not sweat made from a Pocari, whatever that is, but it’s an Asian sports drink similar to Gatorade. I’ve actually tried it several times (I have a sweet spot for oddly-named Asian grocery products) and it’s decent; I’ve made a point to buy some whenever traveling in Hong Kong or Japan and actually like it. This one rates a ten just for the name alone on the weirdest stuff scale. It’s available as a bottled drink, which is a little easier but less funny than saying you’re opening a packet of sweat mix. Mmm, tasty.

(As always, these products are readily available at amazon; just click the pictures or links within the article to go to their respective pages.)

So, one of those wonderful drinking holidays is upon us, giving everyone the chance to be merry and dress up in all the weird green garb they secretly wish they could wear any time. We’ve compiled a list of the top weird St. Patrick’s Day themed products that are readily available in case, you know, you want to buy some for your secret everyday use holiday revelry. (Click the images to check prices — all on amazon.) Here are our favorite St. Pat’s oddities:

1. St. Patrick’s Day Beer Goggles:

Like true beer goggles, wear these and no dount everyone will look more attractive. Level of attractiveness is directly proportional to the amount of alcohol consumed. One wonders if these beer goggles work as well without alcohol.. hmm probably not. But they will bring good cheer to both the wearer and all those in the room, even while sober! You know you want these!

2. Green Glitter High Heels

These babies have 5 3/4″ heels, which for some would be difficult to walk in even if sober. Perhaps it gets easier during St. Pat’s debouchery festivities. At any rate, they are sure to turn the heads of more than a few leprechauns, even without need of beer goggles!

Note: for the manly types, they also come in a platform shoe!

Hmm, where to go next… there are so many strange St. Patrick’s Day things on the market!

3. Leprechaun Mask without a Chin!

This leprechaun mask, odd as it looks, hasno chin! Why? Well, to make it easier to drink without losing face! Aha! That’s thinking ahead! So, if you want to be a leprechaun for St. Patrick’s Day, grab one of these!

4. Leprechaun Facial Fur

Apparently leprechaun faces feature faux fur rather than hair, as this product implies. Here’s some fur for your non-furry, non-leprechaun face so you can fit in on St. Patrick’s Day!

5. Pot o’ Farkel

farkelWhat St. Patrick’s Day would be complete without Pot o’ Farkel? Um, I don’t know, what’s a farkel? Hey, no matter, it’s a game themed for St. Patrick’s Day and it has a pot of gold on the label. Can’t go wrong with this one! Now go get farkel faced and have some fun!

 

bambino ball onesieNo, not THOSE kinds of balls — it’s sports balls, or rather, onesies that make babies look like sports balls. Note: these do not make your baby throwable or bounceable, (bouncing baby boy?) but they are cute! Styles include footballs, soccer balls, tennis balls, basketballs, baseballs, and so on. Pretty cool stuff! Now if only I knew someone with a baby that could fit into a onesie…

Star Trek Enterprise Pizza CutterThis week’s item is equally parts weird and cool, if you’re of the geek kind. The Star Trek USS Enterprise Pizza Cutter looks pretty slick as well, and mmm, shiiiny. One wonders how much the inventors imbibed or otherwise ingested before thinking, “hey, that thing looks like a flying pizza cutter!”

Star Trek USS Enterprise Bottle OpenerFor fans of all things Star Trek, and particularly of the USS Enterprise, there’s also this slick USS Enterprise Bottle Opener, also available from the purveyors of all funky things: amazon.

 

Underpants BandagesWe’ve long been fans of the quirky products created by Accoutrements, including their other bizarre bandages in themes such as bacon, macaroni and cheese, and mustaches. These underpants bandages deserve some kind of prize for oddity. Then again, wearing one’s drawers so they’re visible is quite the undying trend these days, much to the dismay of anyone over 40. So why not display these tidy tighty whities all over the body?

Suggestion to Accoutrements: make a bra bandage too, so they can be used to prevent tiny wardrobe malfunctions.

 

Another one of those gift-giving holidays is upon us, so it’s happy fun time once again with our “worst Valentine’s Gifts of 2012″ post. Here are some that are bound to get you some nasty looks and cold shoulders. The best part is, all these things can be found on amazon, so why not go all out and buy them all? (If you are feeling really brave, that is.)

1. Midol Multi-pack

Midol sends quite a message to your lover/wife/soon-to-be-pissed-off female in your life. And what message is that, you ask? If you don’t know, then give some as a gift and watch what happens! (Then again, maybe it will be a welcome gift…)

2. Body fat bathroom scale.

This is another gift that sends a message loud and clear, such as, “honey, you could really stand to lose some weight. By the way, let’s see how much body fat you have too! I was extra thoughtful and got you this scale that weighs up to 400 pounds, so I know it will be good for you!” Note: You may end up with a black eye or slapped face if you use those words.

3. Fake Roses.

Nothing says I (don’t) care like some fake roses. Real roses are just so cliche, you know? Silk ones never die. Brown silk roses are especially attractive… not! Perhaps they’re just a bit better than no flowers or no gift, however.

4. Taxidermy Raccoon with Cracker Jacks

taxidermy raccoon with cracker jacks

We can hardly even believe this one. This would be a horrible gift for any occasion. It should win a prize! And yes, it is available on amazon! (Just check out the other items by that company as well.. you will loooove them!)

Any taxidermy item is pretty much in bad taste as a gift to just about anyone on earth. Unless you’re one of those people who likes these things, in which case, enjoy shopping!

5. A Mop

Nothing says “I love you (now go clean the house)” like a mop. It’s such a thoughtful gift.. you know, one of those gifts that keeps on giving (housework to someone other than you).

There you have it… happy shopping!

 

While we normally write just “weird” or ironic posts here, this one is about something that is weird but in an ultra-cool way. The Humio Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier looks like some kind of light up genie bottle/vase: it has LEDs inside that change from reds to blues, greens, oranges, etc, or you can set it so it stays one color (or off). It’s a great little humidifier too — ultra quiet and perfect for a bedroom or just about anywhere, really, because it doesn’t have that medical device look that most humidifiers have. Humio is space agey cool. We’ve been using one for several weeks now and still love it just as much as we did the first day we saw it displayed in a local shop. Set at low, you can easily get ten hours of cool mist out of it too — perfect for a good night’s sleep. Best part: no wicks or filters or other fabric/stuff that collects germs and dust! This thing would look just as cool at a party as it does in a bedroom. Lovin’ it!
