A Tea Set That Looks So Good You’ll Stop Drinking Coffee

Not liking coffee is pretty much unpatriotic behavior in this country. But hey, can you blame people for not liking the bitter and dehydrating taste? If anti-coffee people (and/or Brits) need their caffeine fix, they turn to tea. And what’s great about tea — or at least what I think is great about tea —…

Two Golf Putters in One Club Means You’ll Be Half As Bad at Golf

Golf is the game of kings. Or is that polo? Whatever, no matter. Golf is also a game about a bag of tools. Wood or iron? What’s your favorite number? The more tools in your bag, the better. So this two-in-one golf putter seems pretty smart! Called the Flip Face putter by Odyssey, the putter…

Nike Fuelband Review: A Friendly Reminder to Stop Being Lazy

A girl at a bar sees the futuristic and slim black cuff cradling my wrist, points at it and asks—well, more like demands to know—what is that? I look down, thinking I might’ve spilled beer on my sleeve, and see the Nike Fuelband. Oh. That thing. To demonstrate, I hit the only button on the…

The Most Ridiculous and Comprehensive Way to Test Toilet Paper

Consumer Reports, bless their heart, prides themselves on being comprehensively comprehensive when it comes to their product testing. Even for toilet paper. Seriously, they’ve set up toilet paper feeling stations to determine the softness of each sheet. This looks like an Onion parody video. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad such a company exists to…

Super S’Mores Made with Krispy Kreme Donuts Look Explosively S’morgasmic

Bonfires are overrated. It’s cold and windy, there’s sand everywhere, there’s never any booze left, you smell like a burnt french outdoorsman and there’s a creepy geetar player with questionable facial hair trying to steal your girlfriend.

The Police Saved a Blind Woman’s Invisible Writing

Trish Vickers is a woman who went blind seven years ago because of diabetes. Instead of complaining, she’s been writing—yes, literally writing—a book. Recently, however, she lost 26 pages of her novel because she didn’t realize the pen she was using had run out of ink. It’s sad. When Vickers’ son came over to read…

We all blindly agree with those much too long Terms of Service Agreements without even reading them, right? So what happens if you like, do something unagreeable with the TOS?

The Chork Is the Beautifully Awful Lovechild of a Fork and Chopsticks That Will Prevent World War III

If you went back in time with all the knowledge you have now but none of the habits, what utensil would you invent to eat with? Is the fork, a tiny and instinctive spear, the ideal utensil? Or is the chopstick, a dexterous extension of your fingers, the winner? Which makes the most sense? Ignore…

Can an Excavator Really Row a Freaking Boat?

Somewhere in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on the Saigon River floats the most insane, makeshift boat I’ve ever seen. Seriously.
