Yes, these are real. No, I haven’t tried them. I just found them perusing a few of my favorite deal sites. They’re inexpensive, so buy ’em and report back to me.
Instant Snow! Seriously… just add water.
Instant underwear! I feel like I need to stress this again… just add water. In a pinch, I suppose you could use your own, uh, water source. To quote the site, “… it’s better to have damp underpants, than no underpants at all!”
Get your mind out of the gutter, people, this is an actual product for sale on Amazon (and be sure to check out the commercial embedded for your pleasure). It’s touted as a 4 in 1 grilling tool.
Pros:
Fun to say
Endless amounts of entertainment at your BBQs… but not the kind your friends would be expecting.
Cons:
Your friends will feel duped… and then shame… and then anger at your charred food (see next point).
The actual product. I’ve never used this thing, but you should never pierce sausages, steak, etc… because it lets the delicious juices escape (and can cause flareups, thus charring). Use a thermometer.
There is a tool that can do all this… they’re called tongs.
Product placement has increasingly entered video games. Sometimes placements are well done and can fit into the background (a Hyundai billboard in Call of Duty, for example) and some are a little blatant. The Star Wars Episode 1 Brisksaber game falls into the latter category. That’s right, Lipton Iced Tea themed lightsaber battles. Check it out:
It made me think George Lucus and Lipton could make some “improvements” to this classic scene:
Luke: "I'll never join you! Unless you give me your Lipton Brisk Iced Tea."
Darth Vader: "Excellent... catch."
Luke: "Aaaaaaaaaaghhhh I dropped it!!!!!!!!!!"
Blatant product placement reminds me of this comic from 2002. Egad, that was 10 years ago and I still remember it… There has to be better use for my brain space…
Dr. Evil is a happy guy right about now. Seriously. Read about the laser equipped shark here.
Yeah, two posts in the same evening. Who’d a thunk it?
It’s grilling season and getting the right temperature on your grill is the key to a successfully delicious experience. How do you get low, medium, or high temperatures on your gas grill? Thankfully, the good people at McCormick have provided this handy chart:
Hey, thanks for enlightening me. If I want a medium heat, set the burner for medium. Got it.
In other news, I’ve been lax in my duties as of late, so I apologize for the infrequency of posts. I’m not sure it’ll get much better with Diablo 3 coming out next week. It’s only been in development for 12 years, so it’s not like I’m giddy with excitement or anything.
