This bottle is your ultimate all-in-one kitchen tool!

While it occupies the exact footprint of a wine bottle on your kitchen shelf, the Bin 8 is actually pretty much all the kitchen accessories you need, combined into one ‘Swiss Army Bottle’ of sorts. A prime example of utilitarian, artistic, and thoughtful Japanese design, the Bin 8 is a combination of eight kitchen tools stacked one upon the other, made to look like a wine bottle. The bottle’s spout acts as a funnel, and its base, a measuring cup. Sitting in between these two are a citrus juicer, a spice grater, cheese grater, yolk separater, egg masher, and a jar-opening silicone ring.

Stacked together, the Bin 8 occupies much less space than each of those items would individually, and does so with a certain flair that you’d probably use the words “innovative” and “brilliant” to describe. I know I would!

Hidden Valley Ranch Makes Bottles of Dressing Worth $35,000

Did you know that there is a National Ranch Day? Me either. I know now. It was on March 10th. Do we really need a day to celebrate salad dressing? Of course for some people, that’s every day. See, this is why we’re fat, people. Anyway, to commemorate the special occasion, Hidden Valley Ranch commissioned two very special dressing bottles, each worth approximately $35,000.

Each bottle has over 75 carats of diamonds and sapphires, with 18-karat white gold accents and an ornate cap, along with all of the ingredients that make up their ranch dressing of course. The company is keeping one of the bottles, but the other they’re giving away to a lucky Twitter user who follows Hidden Valley and retweets their tweet by May 19th.

That Twitter user will slowly sip the contents from a snifter, because when a liquid is worth that much, you drink it, you don’t put it on salads. Then he or she will sell the bottle on eBay, then buy a car. At least that’s what I would do. Either that or keep it in the hopes that a Ranch Dressing genie would come out if I rub it enough. Three wishes are worth a lot more than one of these bottles.

A bottle redesigned for fitness

mous_bottle_1

Either protein shakes were not designed for conventional bottles, or conventional bottles were not designed for protein shakes. The bottle’s flat bases always end up accumulating this ring of coagulated protein powder that’s an absolute nightmare to clean. If you consume shakes (or even coffee), you’ll know what I’m talking about. An aesthetic eyesore, this particular phenomenon goes to become a breeding ground for mold and bacteria, making your fitness drink the very thing that contaminates you!

The guys at MOUS Fitness claim to have designed the perfect bottle. It uses an outer casing for gripping and stability, and comes with a round-base bottle that fits into the casing. Designed for shakes, energy drinks, or even fruit/veggie infused water, the MOUS Shaker bottle is great to carry on the go and even a dream to clean. The inner bottle is completely transparent, allowing you to inspect it for any drink remnants as you clean it. It comes with a rounded base, which means no more gunk because no more corners for the gunk to hide in. The bottle also has measurement markings on it, making it perfect to mix your drinks directly in. Designed to be thick, wide, and short, the bottle is great for gripping, stable when kept upright, and fits perfectly into any bag for you to carry around wherever you go. That’s quite a lot of thought put into a bottle, if you don’t mind my saying!

This Robot Delivers Bottles to Babies with Horrible Consequences

Wouldn’t it be great if we had a robot that could deliver bottles to babies, so parents could do something else with their time? You would think so, but no. Do not want. Trust me on this one.


The Useless Duck Company created a robot designed to give babies their bottle. This robot is anything but helpful. In fact, it is downright deadly. Don’t let it anywhere near your kid. Unless, you know, you really don’t like your kid.

This robot uses an Arduino-powered rotating gripper arm to swing the bottle, which then aims it in the baby’s direction. You’ll have to watch the video to see how it all works out.

Styr’s system of health gadgets exists to sell you supplements

I'm the kind of guy who can always stand to lose a few pounds. The Styr Lab regimen seemed like a great way to do so. When I first saw it at TechCrunch's Disrupt event in San Francisco last September, I was genuinely excited to give the fitness-track...

Coca-Cola Selfie Bottle: Have a Coke and a Smile

Can’t get enough selfies? Take one while you drink a refreshing soda. The Coca-Cola Selfie Bottle is not really a bottle, but a camera that attaches to the bottom of any half-liter Coca-Cola bottle. It will take a photo whenever you tilt the bottle past 70-degrees. Now we have officially seen every possible selfie accessory. Or have we? Probably not. Sighs. At least it reduces the chance of duck lips.

How many photos do you need of yourself? How many do you need of yourself drinking a Coke? I have no idea. I’m sad that this accessory even exists.

Thanks Coke. Thanks for depressing me and reminding me that humanity is doomed. So lets all have a Coke and snap a celebratory selfie.
