This adorable little tea-infuser looks exactly like the Piranha Plant from Super Mario!

When you’re not using it to brew tea, you could turn it into a prop for your Lego Mario set.

OTOTO‘s Tea Trap puts a fun spin on the art of brewing tea. Unlike those boring metal infusers, the Tea Trap models itself on a carnivorous plant that chomps down on your tea leaves. Once the Tea Trap’s stomach (or mouth) is full, just dunk it in a cup of hot water, and the tea begins infusing through the perforations on the sides of the infuser. Use the Tea Trap’s elongated handle to stir it around till your tea reaches the right color, and when you’re done, the Tea Trap will very kindly spit out the tea-leaves into the waste-bin, because nobody likes eating tea leaves… not even carnivorous plants!

Designer: OTOTO

The Tea Trap is made from stainless steel along with BPA-free silicone. It’s 100% food-safe and dishwasher-safe too.

Super Mario Piranha Plant Puppet Doesn’t Shoot Plush Fireballs

If you ever played Super Mario Bros. back in the day, you will remember the sinking feeling of moving through a level only to find a giant fire piranha plant shooting fireballs and set to eat you. If you are a fan of the game and need a new collectible in your life, you can now get this awesome piranha plant puppet.

Rather than ramming your hand up an animal’s bum as you do with most puppets, when you stick your hand up this plant’s pot, you can open and close the month. It’s the perfect way to act out scenes from the Mushroom Kingdom with your Amiibo figurines.

The puppet measures 9-10″ in diameter and 11″ tall. The piranha plant extends 13″ outside the pipe making it 24″ in height at its longest point. You can order one now from ThinkGeek for $39.99, and you should have it in plenty of time for gifting to that Mario fan on your list.

Super Mario Piranha Plant Puppet


Is there no greater story than that of a tiny plumber galavanting through the Mushroom Kingdom, leaping through pipes, avoiding turtles, collecting coins, smashing his head on question mark boxes, all in a quest to save the Princess? A story as old as time, a timeless tome, a tireless tide turning tale of terror trying to tempt teens to try tie-in toys today. No there is not and even Capt. Lou Albano (remember Super Mario Bros. Super Show?) couldn’t ruin that.

Now you can regale your children in this epic story with extreme visuals- a hand puppet. Imagination is dead, kids today want live action- or better yet- film yourself with the puppet and then put it on YouTube for them to watch while you sit across the room checking Facebook on your phone. The Piranha Plant Puppet is an ambidextrous puppet (it’s even ambipedal if you’re a foot puppeteer, or just aspiring to be one, as most of us secretly are) that lets you really give Mario a run for his money. Also great for annoying your co-workers over the cubicle wall.

Creepy Piranha Plant: Kill it With Fire Flower!

I haven’t played The Last of Us yet, but I think if you crossed that game with Super Mario Bros. this would be one of its enemies. This gruesome sculpture came from the talented hands and twisted mind of Karen aka Dogzillalives. Karen said it’s made of “polymer clay, acrylic paint, matte and gloss varnishes.” I’m not sure I believe her.

She actually just calls it “Medium plant guy.” I don’t even want to know what Large plant guy looks like. Check out her deviantART page and her Etsy shop if your stomach isn’t empty yet.

Super Mario Bros Electrical Breaker Features Piranha Plant

attachment

Mario would have a hard time with this electrical breaker. Not because of the piranha plant (nothing a fire flower can’t fix), but because he’s a plumber, not an electrician!

We’re not here to judge Mario’s electrical skills, though, but to speak about this kickass piece from Cork, Ireland, this electrical ...
