High Speed Envelopes Let You Leave A Trail Of Smoke When You Open Them
Sometimes the simplest designs are the most memorable. I don't get a lot of snail mail anymore, but every once in a while, I still get one of those envelopes where you have to rip the tab to open it. I'm sure you know which envelopes I'm talking about. Every time I receive one of those envelopes fro ...

If you're going to drink the fancy latte art that's been spread around the Internet lately, it only makes sense to complement it with another delicious art piece. How about some toast art?

19 Emotions For Which There Are No Words In English [Chart]
Several months ago, I wrote an article about 5 Emotions Invented By The Internet. It was one of my favorite articles to write since I'm very interested in Internet psychology. The person who did the research for that data was Pei-Ying Lin. This artistic scientist who focuses on emotions has also stu ...
The Tiny Spy Camera That Looks Like One LEGO Block
I don’t know what it is with LEGO blocks and cameras, but they seem to go together well. There have been dozens of LEGO cameras created over the years, but this one is extra adorable. It looks like a tiny spy camera created from one LEGO block. As it turns out though, it may be inspired by LEGO, but ...
Super Cute Hello Kitty Baked Buns With A Surprise Inside
I must be turning into a softie because I used to write about how much I thought Hello Kitty was spawned straight from Satan himself. But now, a few years later, that little kitty is starting to grow on me. When I saw these Hello Kitty baked buns, I knew I had to share them with you. These little cu ...
Bizarre Body Painting Art (These Aren’t Photoshopped…Really!)
It's fun to see how some people use their bodies as a canvas for incredible and sometimes bizarre art. Whether they choose to decorate their skin with creative tattoos, painful looking piercings or hyper-realistic body painting art like this, it's always worth a peek to see what they've done. The bo ...
The LEGO Bento Lunch Design: A Delicious Feat Of Geek
I remember when eating a bento lunch first became popular several years ago. It was probably common in Japan long before that, but three or four years ago is when bento lunch designs started popping up all over the Internet. It's a fascinating art for many reasons. It's so time consuming and tempora ...
Baby Mop Makes Your House Squeaky Clean
Are you one of those people who is constantly trying to optimize your time in order to fit more into your day? If so, you are just like me. I am a sucker for time optimization when it comes to work related things. If I can shed 10 minutes of a task by doing something differently, I don't care how lo ...
Delicious Style: Raspberry Scratch-N-Sniff Jeans For Men
This is so much fun! I've heard about scratch-n-sniff jeans for years, but I always thought they were an urban legend. Today I found out they are for real, and dannnnngit, I wish they didn't only make them for men. Wait a minute; I've worn men's jeans before, maybe I can make this work. I read that ...
Cup Noodle Robotimer Transformer: You Didn’t Know You Want This
When I went to China several months ago, one thing I remember was being served a hot cup noodle and chopsticks on the plane for a snack. I had never had a cup noodle before, but since everyone around me was gobbling it up, I decided to try it. It was a pretty tasty little cup of noodles.
I learne ...
World’s Largest Piece Of Sushi On A Restaurant Menu
I love sushi. I could eat it everyday. It's right up there with chicken wings in my book, which are pretty high on my list. How would you like to go into a restaurant and order a piece of sushi the size of this? My question is, how would a person eat this? It's not like you can pop it in your mouth ...
Origami: A Big Badass Bug Made From Paper
Do you know what a Kabuto Mushi or kabutomushi is? I never heard of that until today. It turns out, it's a Japanese rhinoceros beetle found in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China. It's sold at pet stores, and in Japan, they can even be found in vending machines. I don't mean crawling around in the vendin ...
Food Inspiration: The Most Adorable Bread You’ve Ever Seen
I never thought I would describe bread as being cute. It normally comes in a basket at a restaurant with a little tub of butter. It's delicious for sure, but cute? No way. This bread, on the other hand, is not only cute, it's adorable in a "I want to hug and squish it" kind of way.
This is bird b ...
The Japanese Sleeping Capsule For Nighttime Workaholics
Do you ever work late at your office? I do all the time. Misty and I have joked many times that we've woken up in the middle of the night with keyboard forehead, which is the impression your keyboard makes on your skin when you fall asleep on it. Lucky for me though, since I work from home, I only h ...
WTF: The Chopped-Off Hand iPhone Case
I love featuring products from Japan because they are always so different than what we have in the States. I mean different in a good way. They never fail to give us a different perspective and make us want to look at the pictures. Every time I write about one, I think there is no way we'll see some ...
