One of the world’s leading purveyors of curios and miscellania, Fred and Friends, has unveiled their Spring 2010 catalog. In case you missed our posts over the holiday weekend, here is a list of the best new stuff.
Airplane Food Placemat: Placemats that can be folded into several different paper airplane designs.
360 Degree Pen: Turns your finger into a hula hoop star.
Cakewich: It’s a cake annnd a sandwich.
Cold Blooded: Vampire fang ice molds.
Polluted Glasses: For truly toxic drinks.
I used to have a teacher who would spend all day spinning a chained fingernail clipper around his finger. The only time he would stop is when he was actually using it in class. It’s too bad this 360° Pen didn’t exist at that point, as it would have made a great “Please… Stop” gift. Plus he could have used it to assign me another “F”.

It always sucks when you think you’re about to enjoy a swig of Mountain Dew and you accidentally reach for a can of chicken stock instead. You get your brain and taste buds all prepared and you get that “Hell yeah” pre-taste going, and instead of Dewey goodness you get an uninvited guest who crashes the party in your mouth. This cakewich baking pan will create those moments.

If you want to track down some geriatric vampires, break out your “Cold Blooded” ice trays. Simply walk around with these icy toofers in your beverage and wait for people to ask where you were able to find “Fang Efferdent”… Bingo. Additional ice weirdness is pictured after the break.
Or play with both using these “Airplane Food” placemats. Now you’ll have fifty 15″ x11.5″ fold-and-fly airplanes in five different designs that can be used to deliver a payload of french fries across the dinner table or for target practice when you attempt to drop a condiment payload directly in the center of your awaiting hamburger patty. Guaranteed to annoy.

That nasty crap that you drink to intoxicate yourself will be perfectly served up in this Polluted Glass. You can feel like an experimenting scientist when you down one radioactive drink after another while others fear even getting near it. Each box contains two glasses so you can share your drinking secrets with a deserving buddy.

Some people can drink it, but I can’t stand when my coffee gets cold. Fred’s new silicone lid mimics a pop top, but its real function is to keep your drinks warm and fresh in a cup. Also works with jars and cans.

The small, white man that you can set on your dinner table will dispense the most used food seasoning: salt. If you are looking to add a little spice to your meal, then you will have to take your chances with what comes out of his pants, though it had better be pepper.

Did you see the movie Angels & Demons? If so, you probably know something about ambigrams (and crappy storylines). Basically, ambigrams are words that can be read as one or more words from a number of different angles. In this case, the shot glass reads “drink” when upright, and “drunk” when turned over. Too bad this didn’t turn over and say “projectile vomiting” last night. Am I right?

It works just like a normal clock, but that second hand has some sort of developmental disorder. It will just wander off randomly, doing as it pleases. Probably relying on instinct mostly. At any rate, this is what you get when clocks keep it in the family.
