Viagra ice-cream is now a reality
A renown artisan ice-cream "designer" has concocted a once in a lifetime special request from an "A-list" customer. What is the wonderfully rare flavour? It is flavoured with Champagne and each scoop contains 1 dose of Viagra (25mgs). He nicknamed his mad creation The Arousal (link). Try as you may, don't look for this on store shelves.

Buyer beware : Dangers of lifetime waranties
[caption id="" align=“alignnone” width=“2500”]Image by Chris Davis under Creative Commons License [/caption] As a consumer, I love the idea of buying a product once and having it forever. Thats what makes a manufacturer product lifetime warranty so attractive. Often these products are sold at a premium because of this additional coverage, but is it worth it? The answer is maybe but more often than not... NO! The problem is that the term lifetime doesn't have a legally recognized definition when it relates to a product.

Don't use a water bottle, drink a water blob
We all know that water bottles are problem for the environment but you need hydration and can't always carry a reusable water container with you.

This creation is called the Ooho and is a thin edible membrane made from brown algae and calcium chloride. This membrane can hold water thus removing the need for disposable plastic water bottles. “We’re applying an evolved version of spherification to one of the most basic and essential elements of life–water.
