Mattel’s first ever folding Hot Wheels are set to hit stores in August, and by the looks of things, they are going to be a definite must-have. “Steath Rides” as they have been dubbed, can be folded into a compact form that’s similar to a credit card in size and about as thick as an average cellphone. At the push of a button, the flat car will transform into a remote controlled vehicle.
As promised, here is the sequel to yesterday’s installment of Nerd Approved’s Stupidest Products of 2009. This section concludes the series with categories like Household, Booze, Things That Could Kill You, Alarm Clocks, Lego, USB, Toys and Micellany. Have a great new year!
Your grandmother may be the kindest person in the world to you, but let another grandmother make disparaging remarks about her cooking and it is on. Using their tools of the trade, one granny has a rolling pin, the other has a frying pan, they will go at it until there is a winner declared.

Opening up this RC Car is just like opening a beer with its pop top can as packaging. Once open, you get your car with working headlights and tail lights, a remote control and four traffic cones to race around. When you need a charge you connect it to the remote to charge it directly from there. With their small size you can use these cars just about anywhere.

Just because you want to play a little fetch doesn’t mean you have to keep a drooling, shedding pet around. When Baxter the Dog detects the ball using infrared his head moves up and down and he can get the ball with his magnetic nose. You have control of him using the bone shaped remote, which is probably more control than you would ever have over your golden retriever.

Used in your car, office or anywhere else you feel appropriate, The Hand will give you the ability to send lighted hand gestures using from 0-3 fingers to anyone. The remote control makes it easy to manipulate without having to be anywhere near it. That makes it almost anonymous, though you can assume that everyone believes it comes from the owner of the car/office/house it is residing at.
