magnetic wall bender

This little bendable figure has magnets on his hands and feet so he can scale the tin rock wall. While that may be amusing for some, I say glue a few small magnets on your GI Joes and make the rock wall part of their boot camp.

spit balls

These spit balls expand up to 200x their original size—and they can “slip, slide and bounce until they explode on target.” Described as “slimy science with polymers”, this is supposed to be an educational experience. No, really.

mr tie mousepad

Maybe it’s time Mr. Tie here invested in some neckware that is a little more manageable—like a bolo tie or a cravat. Even those fashion disasters don’t look this bad.

airstream-tea-pot

In the world of trailers, the Airstream stands out as one of the best. So when you are looking to brew a pot of tea, whether you are in the top of the line airstream or a run down single wide, just fire up the burner under this Airstream teapot and let it heat up. Keep in mind that lighting a fire under a trailer is only good in case of this particular trailer, do not try it with the real thing.

sonic-the-hedgehog-racing-system

If you are tired of running Sonic around in video games, you can use this racing set to pit him against Tails in a live action race. There is no real Super Sonic action to him, but if you time him getting to the crossover at the same time as Tails, something will go flying across the room. Not quite the same, but as good as it gets.

happy_man_bottle_opener

Happy Man is very excited to open any bottle for you. You might think that smile would turn into a frown as you use his appendage to rip the cap off a bottle, but there is no change in expression at all. One caveat to keep women from being disillusioned: the happy man’s features are not to scale.

bagle dome

This battery-operated bagel dome keeps your baked goods fresher, longer by creating a vacuum seal at the push of a button. If you are so inclined, you could arm each bagel with one of those toothpick swords and pretend that they are battling it out in the Thunderdome. Two bagels will enter, only one will leave.

blood energy drink

If you saw our post on the Blood Energy Drink, you probably wondered what it tasted like. I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t taste like blood—unless you bit the neck of a dude embalmed with Capri Sun. That’s right, it’s fruit punch flavor. However, I did notice that the consistency was more syrupy than a traditional fruit punch drink, a little thinner than actual blood, but the effect is there.
