Of Course That’s A Thing: The Scratch & Sniff Book of Weed

Posted on by

If you’ve ever wanted to smell the Devil’s Herb, but were afraid it would ruin your life, now you can buy a scratch and sniff book devoted to the scent of Mary Jane herself without worrying about going to jail forever. Of course, I’m sure that none of our readers have ever seen a Marijuana up close, but let me tell you it’s dangerous stuff.

The book itself contains 20 different scratch and sniff pads and details the history of Marijuana. Other than just being a book that smells like your uncle’s place, it also goes in-depth into the science of getting the munchies and why Marijuana seems to make music more enjoyable. It even describes different strains of the Chronic.

The book can be pre-ordered now for $18 and will release on 11/18. And just in time for the holiday’s, so it’d make a great gift for that cousin that always carries around that Visine, or your friend that always needs five bucks for Taco Bell.

That’s No Moon: Disney’s Attempt To Hide The Millennium Falcon Fails

Posted on by

 

If you were driving down the M3 outside of London, you may have seen an array of shipping containers. Now, to most people that’s where the story would end as it’d be nearly impossible to get a look inside the array from the ground, but some geniuses decided to use Google Maps and discovered a poor attempt at trying to hide a Millennium Falcon.

It was first spotted in June, and while parts of Star Wars: The Last Jedi were filmed in London, there’s no clear reason why Disney was trying to hide the spaceship. Nonetheless, they completely failed. I mean how hard is it to get a tarp, or two?

The Last Jedi releases on December 15th, but you probably already knew that.

Man Proposes to Girlfriend Using 25 iPhone Xs

Posted on by

You know what they say, the fastest way to a girl’s heart is through 25 iPhone Xs. At least that’s what Chen Ming must’ve heard as the video game developer based in China used 25 of Apple’s latest iPhone to propose to his girlfriend by arranging them into the shape of a heart.

To help with the proposal, Ming had several of his girlfriend’s friends bring her down unknowingly to the spot where he arranged the phones into a heart surrounded by rose petals, before getting down on one knee and popping the question, which she said yes.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cute story and all, but personally I think he’s crazy for wasting so much money for an outlandish display of love… I mean, clearly he should’ve used no more than 20 iPhone Xs.

Posted on by

 

10

Just in time for the holidays, you can get your hands on this 5-liter (that’s 1.3 gallons for real people) keg of Hidden Valley ranch. Yes, it is real, and yes it is a crime against God awesome.

Now, you might be thinking that if Hidden Valley was to make an abomination like a 5-liter keg of ranch dressing, they should’ve done so in early summer. You know, try and get in on that BBQ action. But I say there’s no better time to take out the ranch keg then when the oven dings and grandma’s sugar cookies are done. Pass the cookies and milk my way!

Now I know what you’re thinking and don’t worry, the Hidden Valley 5-liter mini keg is stackable and has a special coating to sure your ranch doesn’t taste like a metal keg.

It’s available now for $50. I know what I want for Christmas!

Learn To Duel Like A Jedi At This Lightsaber Academy

Posted on by

If you’ve ever wanted to learn to fight with a lightsaber you can now take a class that’ll teach you to fight like a real Jedi…if you’re in Singapore.

Each 60 minute class promises to show you the basics to becoming an apprentice Jedi. Now, 60 minutes may seem like a short amount amount of time to learn lightsaber techniques, but just look at Luke, he had almost no training but he saved the day, didn’t he? And Rey has literally no training at all. Basically I’m saying you could become a better Jedi than Rey by flying to Singapore and signing up for a single 60-minute session.

At the end of the class, you get to fight an opponent one-on-one and the winner gets to take the loser’s hand. Oh, and the lightsabers make awesome whooshing noises and light-up, so cool.

Each class costs $25. I suppose it’s more of a fun thing to do with a couple of friends if you’re in the area, but I’m pretty sure I can’t refund a plane ticket to Singapore, so I’ll see you losers when I’m a Jedi Master.

This Ferris Wheel/Tube Ride Has To Be The Most Amazing Thing I’ve Seen All Week

Posted on by

This is the Slidewheel. Developed by a German company, it’s a strange theme park ride that has riders on a 4-person tube going through a long bending tube that rotates like a Ferris wheel. The way it works is that it rotates its maze-like structure to let gravity propel tube riders forward.

It can accommodate 720 riders in an hour, and reaches a top speed of 25 mph. Though the riders are constantly ‘stuck’ momentarily, as they wait for ride to rotate enough for them to proceed. But let’s be honest this looks like the coolest thing ever invented and will be worth the 7-hour wait in line.

It’s still undergoing tests in Europe, which might result in some delays as every inspector who sees the structure mutters ‘What the f–k’ under their breath before fainting.

Hit the jump for an animated x-ray video of the ride to see how it actually works.

This Hunger Games Theme Park in Dubai Doesn’t Really Get The Irony

Posted on by

The Hall of Heroes (Not Pictured: All the dead kids who were forced to fight each other)

The Motiongate Dubai theme park, has recently debuted their newest addition, a Hunger Games themed section. The section features a “Capitol Bullet Train” rollercoaster, the Hall of Heroes, and the Panem Aerial Tour multimedia experience.

I think they don’t quite understand the irony in having Hunger Games themed attractions, as the franchise revolves around a dystopian future where only rich residents enjoy a high standard of living and nearly everyone else suffers from poverty and starvation. There’s also that little detail where they make kids fight to the death annually for their amusement.

Honestly, if they’re going all in with Hunger Games attractions, they could do a little better. How about park staff dressed like Panem Officers who confiscate the food you just bought, flash mobs that every hour, pretend to riot to protest the wealthy. Of course, the main attraction would be the Hunger Games Experience where kids between the ages of 12 to 17 fight in mock version of the actual games. The losers are kicked out of the park, no refunds, while the winners get a $5 gift card.

Toothpick Crossbow Looks Fun/Super Dangerous

Posted on by

If you ever wanted to launch toothpicks up to 80 feet, that’s oddly specific, but the Ace Sniper might be for you. It’s a tiny metal crossbow that launches toothpicks like a medieval sniper.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, “That sounds dangerous” well, it is. It’s 3 ounces of stainless steel retina-piercing fun. Use it at the office for lunchtime wars until someone receive an unintentional tracheotomy. It can even store additional injury-causing toothpicks in the chamber to maximize damage, I mean fun!

It’s available for $60. It’s seems pricey, but that build quality really makes sure that your ludicrously dangerous toy won’t break on you before you accidentally give your buddy some new piercings.

This Book Features The Worst Comic Book Supervillains of All-Time

Posted on by

What’s the best aspect of old 60’s and 70’s comic books, it’s not the campy writing, identical art styles, or bright colors, it’s the terrible superpowered characters with no originality or creatively at all (I thought everyone was doing acid?).

Well, now’s your chance to own some of comic history’s most unforgettable forgettable supervillains! Featuring such villains as Doctor Voodoo, The Horrible Hand, and Bloor, who could forget Bloor! The book also features some of comic’s most obvious and awful knockoff characters such as The Clown, Cat Girl, and my favorite, BrickBat, a knockoff of Batman that uses bricks to solve his problems. I smell a movie franchise, oh wait, the cat box needs changing.

It’s available now on Amazon for $16, and would make a perfect gift for that friend who thinks old comics are the best ones.

This Fork Will Block Out The Sound of Loud Ramen Slurpers…Kinda

Posted on by

Ramen company Nissin is releasing a limited edition fork that deals with loud ramen slurpers. By the company’s own video, the fork is called ‘noise cancelling’ and goes into detail about how they took numerous samples of people slurping noodles to gauge the sound. So, with all that information, I assumed it would work like noise-cancelling headphones. Boy, was I wrong.

What actually happens is, when you slurp with the fork, the microphone picks it up and tells your phone to play an even louder noise, which sounds almost like an engine. That’s hilarious, it just drowns out the slurping noise with a louder turbine noise. It’s like shooting yourself in the leg to drown out the pain of stubbing your toe.

Maybe we should try that with other things. Next time you’re in a movie and the people in front of you won’t be quiet, just start yodeling at the top of your lungs. Hey, you won’t hear them talking anymore.

It’s a silly product, but I’m not hating on it. Although it is limited to 5,000 and will cost $130, and that’s the real crime.
