Flip-Flobsters Are Lobsters You Wear on Your Feet

Posted on by

Perfect for any occasion (especially formal ones), Flip Flobsters are lobster-inspired slides made in the likeness of the large crustaceans. The unisex footwear is available on Amazon in three colors (green, orange, and fully-steamed red), and comes in six different sizes to ensure everybody who wants to wear lobster sandals, can. It probably goes without saying, but I already ordered a pair in each color before I even started writing this.

There’s no question these will be a hit at any summer cookout, particularly if it’s a seafood cookout. Guests will probably be talking about your Flip Flobsters for weeks! At least that’s what I hope they’ll be talking about, and not how I accidentally set myself on fire being overzealous with the lighter fluid.

Couple the sandals with a pair of lobster claw-inspired grilling mitts, and you’re the total package! The total package being someone who’s becoming an actual lobster, just so we’re clear. Just add some antennas and a tail and I’ll start melting the butter!

Sashimi Tabernacle Choir Art Car Has Singing and Dancing Fish, Lobsters

Posted on by

Holy Mackerel. This guy wanted to up the game of his boxy old Volvo, so naturally he covered it in animatronic singing and dancing lobsters and Big Mouth Billy Bass fish – as any of us would have done. Now it is a moving musical starring fish and lobster. It puts on a heck of a show.

The car is officially known as the “Sashimi Tabernacle Choir.” It isn’t new, but I bet you haven’t seen it before. Well, now you can’t unsee this lobstrosity. You’re welcome.

What i would like to see is a semi-truck that looks like a giant shark, speed up behind it and eat this thing. This could be the beginning of a weird new Mad-Max like phenomenon, where fish-laden cars and trucks neglect the sea and battle for our roads.

Lobster Motorcycle: Born to be Prawn

Posted on by

Don’t be shell-shocked when you see this Lobster motorcycle customized by leather artist Timothee “Timo” Richard. Tino is clearly the master and not an a-prawn-tice. Sorry. The leather work alone cost $6,000, and that’s not counting the bike itself. So this may be the most expensive lobster ever.

The bike was commissioned by the owner of a seafood market. Of course. I wonder if this was his inspiration.

The detailing on the leather work is pretty awesome. This thing would scare the heck out of me if I saw it buzz by. I would go home right away and prepare for the lobster invasion.

Motorcycles Made from Lobster Shells: Crustaceans of Anarchy

Posted on by

Who knew that making motorcycles out of lobster shells would be so awesome looking? They look like organically grown bikes from an underwater society.

These lobstercycles were made by Huang Mingbo from Taiwan, who presented the collection of miniature bikes at a food art seminar in the Chinese province of Fujian. He completed the collection of intricate models using lobster shells for the vast majority of construction. They even feature wing mirrors and license plates. Pretty cool.

Now I want to see spaceships made from lobster shells. That would be freakin awesome. Someone make a Millenium Falcon from lobster shells right away. Make sure you include a miniature pilot called Prawn Solo. Please do this for me Huang Mingbo.

Claw Machine for Foodies: Make a Play for Your Lobster Dinner

Posted on by

Like your seafood fresh? Then it doesn’t get any fresher than the ‘Submarine Catcher’, which is basically a claw machine where you’re supposed to literally catch the lobster of your dreams. This isn’t the only brand of lobster claw machines in town, since there’s also another one that goes by ‘Lobster Zone.’

Lobster Claw Machine

To be honest, I find it a little sad that restaurants feel the need to add the novelty of people catching their own food before they eat it, as if it were a game. If I were a lobster, I’d prefer to be grabbed from the aquarium and chopped up accordingly right away, rather than have some spindly plastic arms scratching at me every few minutes or so. But hey, that’s just me – and I’m no lobster.

Diner Carolina Sullivan tried her hand at the machine and scored a lobster after on her first try. She said of the experiences: “Chef cooked my prize and served it on my table with a delicious butter sauce.” Hmm. To each their own, I suppose.

Lobster Got Your Phone? Yeah, Mine Too

Posted on by

In this day and age where virtually anything and everything is being turned into phone cases, it was only a matter of time before we saw a couple inspired by a lot of people’s favorite seafood: lobsters.

While I’ve seen cases with images of lobsters plastered all over them, this one-ups all of them by being a case that’s in the form of a real lobster.

Flip it over and you just might cause the people in the office to panic because there’s a lobster on the loose!

The case was designed by Noddy Boffin as a modern day tribute to Salvador Dali’s absurd Lobster Telephone - and while it’s not available for purchase, it’s still one awesome case for show (but it’s not very awesome when it comes to compactness or portability.)

Crapgadget HoHoHoly Hell dont buy us that edition

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. That's probably because it's Christmas. A time when the diet goes out of the window, everyone but you is wearing a hilariously ironic knitted sweater and the festive Crapgadgets rear their ugly heads. Yes, the sort of technology that tries to dupe unwitting relatives to buy you "something for your eyephones" from the bargain bin at Best Buy, this collection of aesthetic anomalies, taste travesties and electronic errors will have you praying for the cold, hard glare of January.
