Star Trek: The Next Generation Cats Windshield Sunshade

Are you a Trekkie AND a cat person? Well then look no further than this Star Trek: The Next Generation cat sunshade created by Surreal Entertainment and available on Amazon (affiliate link). The sun blocker features the cast of the show in cat form, ready to navigate the USS Enterprise to where no man – or feline – has gone before.

The visor measures 64″ x 32″ and is a universal fit to accommodate the windshields of most cars, trucks, and vans. However it will probably not fit the windshields of most spaceships, so keep that in mind before buying one for your Klingon Bird-of-Prey or Borg Cube and then complaining it doesn’t fit snuggly.

I mean it’s hard not to purchase one, right? Because I actually bought one of these not too long ago and use it all the time. Sure it makes it hard to see while I’m driving, but hey – at least my seat and steering wheel aren’t blistering hot.

KFC Is Giving Away Fried Chicken Sunscreen. Yes, Really

kfc-fried-chicken-sunscreen

Now more than ever, the expression “roasting in the sun” will be a little bit more than figurative. Although, technically, that’s not right either since KFC doesn’t roast its chicken. No, we suppose that if you’re one of the lucky few who managed to snag a bottle of KFC Extra Crispy Sunscreen, you’ll be able to tell your friends you’re “frying in the sun” instead. Yes, they’re all sold out now, sadly, but for a while anyone who visited ExtraCrispySunscreen.com would be given a free bottle of SPF 30 sunscreen that smells just like KFC’s delicious staple item. The smell is described by one pretentious people.com writer as “absolutely revolting”, which we take to mean “arm-bitingly delicious”. Yes, we’re sad they’re all gone, and we’re kinda hoping anyone who managed to snag one will put them up on eBay.

Sunfriend: A UV Watch That Protects You From Sunburn

Sunfriend

Sunfirend only looks like a watch to be accurate, but it doesn’t matter. This new gadget measures UV exposure so it can alert the user when they are about to get burnt, so they can spend time in the sun without having to worry about being in it for too long.

This gadget pretty much makes sunscreen unnecessary. Sunscreen does protect the skin from the harmful rays, but it isn’t only good: It stops the skin from absorbing UVB rays used to make vitamin D. Some experts have warned that the use of sunscreen has caused worldwide deficiency in the vitamin.

Sunfriend is an attempt to reverse or somehow affect the Vitamin D deficiency while still protecting people from the sun’s dangers.

How does it work? You begin by inputting your skin sensitivity on a scale of 1 to 11. The LED lights lining the watch will illuminate as the UV exposure increases. When it’s time to stop getting roasted and step into the shade, the LED lights begin to flash.
