Flavour Designs Solves the Mystery of the Tipping Bowl

Haroon Malik — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 14:00:00 EDT

Sure, this soup is great. Yeah, I'm really enjoying it. Aw, crap—the spoon's only gone and tipped the freaking bowl all over my Diesels. Well, not anymore, friends. Please welcome Flavour Design's problem solving bowl, cleverly titled, And the Dish Ran Away With the Spoon. It is so simple it will make you cry about all those embarrassing times you could have easily avoided—a receptacle for the spoon actually built into the bowl. Pure genius. Nobel Prize committee, the search is over for this year's Peace Prize winner. [Neatorama via Boing Boing]

Find Nemo Floating in a Four-Way USB Hub. Verdict: Fishy!

Kit Eaton — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 07:43:20 EDT

Someone, somewhere, gets to design these weird and wonderful USB hubs: and this one is perhaps the craziest we've seen. It's a four-way hub with a fishbowl. With a plastic fish, a couple of shells, a splash of greenery and real water. And it illuminates, cycling through four different colors. It's fantastic, fishtastic plastic. And it could be yours for only $12. [Gadget4all via Pocket Lint]

Automatic Talking, Feeding Dog Bowl

Jason Chen — Wed, 23 May 2007 20:40:08 EDT

What happens when you take a talking dog bowl and add automatic feeding to it? You get an Automatic Electronic Pet Feeder with Voice Recorder, of course.

The bowl feeds your dog/cat/baby with three separate trays, which can be programmed to open at 8-, 12-, or 24-hour intervals. That means the maximum you can leave your house for is three days, unless you somehow put enough food in each tray to last more than one day.

Our idea? Make one of these for wives to use when they go away on business trips so their husbands don't starve. No really, we're totally serious. – Jason Chen

Now, the company has decided to release the entire spot for your perusal. We like this one a whole lot better than that silly teaser. Show us your set, indeed. – Charlie White

Light Up Cereal Bowl

Jason Chen — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 17:00:26 EST

Do you like to eat cereal...in the dark? Well get a flashlight and a regular bowl, because this Light Up Cereal bowl isn't a real bowl! It's just a light made up of fake milk and fake fruit loops which lights up when you touch the spoon.

It's 10-inches wide and 5-inches tall, and costs $89. We're just bummed that this isn't a real bowl. – Jason Chen

Talking Dog Bowl Mindfraks Your Pets

Jason Chen — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 15:10:12 EST

Although a dog bowl that plays back a recorded message for your dog may seem like a good idea at first, it really isn't. Sure, the "comforting your pet while you're away" angle is nice, but what about when you're home?

Will Fido understand that no, you're not hiding near the dog bowl? Or will he spend hours searching your house, tearing apart your newly-purchased sheets and blankets in a costly game of hide-and-seek? If you're truly up for punishing your pets, the bowl costs twenty bucks and you can order online. – Jason Chen
