First There Was TriceraTACO… Then There Was NACHOsaurus

A while back, we checked out a silly triceratops that doubled as a taco holder. The same company would go on to create TACOsaurus Rex, and now we have the NACHOsaurus. Inspired by the spiny-backed herbivore known as the stegosaurus.

Instead of bony plates along its back, the NACHOsaurus has a spot there for you to fill with snacks. Ideally, you’d use tortilla chips for the proper effect, though this guy is happy to hold crackers, pretzels, nuts, or even french fries on his back. The food-safe plastic snack set also comes with a two-compartment dip bowl which looks like something Dino would have eaten out of The Flintstones.

The NACHOsaurs snack and dip set is just $14.99 over on Amazon, where you can also find TACOsaurus Rex and TriceraTACO for the same price.

Stegosaurus Lamp: Pretty in Prehistoric Pink

I have it on good authority that stegosauruses (or is it stegosauri?) were not green or brown as we originally thought. It’s a fact that they were entirely pink. I recently learned this while shopping on UK gift and gadget shop Firebox, so it’s definitely true. You can commemorate this significant archaeological discovery with a pink stegosaurus lamp for your office.

This cute polygonal dinosaur casts a warm pink glow, and will look great on any desk. It’s made from polyresin, which is a fancy way of saying “plastic,” which also happens to be what real dinosaurs were made from. The lamp measures in at about 11″ long by 7″ high, and comes with a UK plug, so you’ll need an adapter to run it here in the states. Again, same as a real stegosaurus.

Grab one today for about $39(USD), and get started on building your own personal light-up Jurassic Park.

Light-up Animated Dinosaur Christmas Lawn Ornament: Jurassic Holidays

We haven’t even had Thanksgiving yet, but since the stores are all advertising Christmas goodies that suck, I figured you would want to see something cool. This animated Stegosaurus Christmas lawn ornament goes for $140 and it is easily worth twice as much because dinosaurs and Christmas go together like Fred Flintstone and Brontosaurus burgers.

Its neck and tail move and he lights up. The only problem is that this dino is so cool you know some kid is just going to steal it and put it in his room for a night light. Oh well. Until that happens, this stegosaurus will look great in your nativity scene with baby Jesus riding the five-foot beast.

Billosaur, A Slightly More Upscale Piggy Bank

billosaur bank Billosaur, A Slightly More Upscale Piggy Bank
You can barely buy anything with coins these days. A penny is barely even worth the time or effort to put it into a piggy bank. That’s why the Billosaur wants your dollar bills and not your worthless coins. This ceramic piggy bank takes your rolled up dollar bills in it’s back to make a stegosaurus style dinosaur with 7 dollar spikes. You can push the bills through to store even more inside his dino belly. A set of corks are included to fill the spots when you’re short on cash. (via)
