Periodic Table Of Elements Coffee Table

While browsing my favorite blogs/ news sites, I came across this awesome little find. It’s a periodic coffee table of elements. Let me clarify a little. It is a coffee table with a periodic table of elements built inside. There are even samples of all the elements. (Yes, even the toxic ones.)

The display looks pretty nice in my opinion, and the concept is cool. The downside? A) Only someone bordering on no sex and/or social life would own one and B) it’s $9,500.

You can find one/ order one here.

Washing Shopping Carts

I hate germs. I’m sort of a germ freak in away. (Especially dairy products and publicly used items.) So, when I saw this I thought it was a great idea! It’s a grocery cart washing system that uses a peroxide to kill 99% of germs while drying almost instantly. This idea is brought to us by PureCart Systems.

Even if a store is only washing its carts once a month it is still better than the average cart cleaning of never. Cool? I think so!

This may seem a tad silly, but I feel it is quite ingenious.

I have a very serious fear of being burned by my toaster/ toasted foods. I have procured quite a few burns in my life. Most of them from the toaster/ toaster oven. So when I saw this product I gave a little gasp of joy.

This toaster is made by Hammacher Schlemmer, and instead of the toast popping up out of the top, like most toasters, it slides out of the bottom onto the little trap door. (Or if you choose, your plate!) I thought this was a brilliant solution to a problem that has plagued me. The only bad thing? This toaster will run you about $80, which seems a tad high for toasters in my opinion.

Side Note:

As a side note: Dinosaurs live!

As anyone who knows me knows, I adore highly user-friendly products. I believe something can be said for a product that anyone can pick up, and use. (By use, I mean use well.)

So when I stumbled upon this little gem I was pleasently surprised.

First off I should say that I don’t drink alcohol. I take a few medications, and the combination never produces anything good for me. (Also, I’m Asian, and suffer from the “Asian flush.”) So, I can’t say if their product is actually worth drinking, but the concept is neat.

Wine That Loves is a sub-group of a company that produces only five wines. Each wine is especially designed to go with a specific food type. For example: the wine called, “Wine that Loves Roasted Chicken” goes well with, guess what, roasted chicken.

What I think is so great about this is not only does the bottle explain why the wine goes well with meal, but also allows the user to taste the wine. Since people all taste differently newcomers to wine will start to taste what characteristics to look for.

Again, I haven’t actually tried their wines, so I cannot say if they are any good, but a cool introductory concept that I would be willing to try. (If I drank…)
