m-cups-2If like most people your kitchen is becoming overrun with cooking supplies, then these M-Cups will help you out. M-Cups are nesting dry measure cups shaped like matryoshka dolls and work the exact same way. With just three dolls nested inside each other you end up with six separate measuring cups, each top half having an actual doll’s face to break up your cooking monotony. As usual, the Russians had a great idea but lacked the foresight to make it into a useful, everyday product.

Matryoshka dolls or nesting / stacking dolls consist of a wooden figures that fit one inside the other—a Russian tradition that dates back to 1890. Famous politicians have always been a popular subject, which is why an Obama-themed version should come as no surprise. The hand-painted designs even incorporate folk-art touches for added authenticity.

These keyboard keys ad a lot more flavor to any meal you are having than a typical keyboard does. And that includes the Optimus Maximus. No matter how pretty an OLED keyboard is, it isn’t going to make my fries taste any better. You can tell one from the other by the S and P logos as well as the color. I don’t know why they didn’t either put more holes in the salt or add braille and then pretty much everyone in the world would be covered.

A typical Russian nesting doll with a twist. This time it is not some sexy Russian lady doing the stripping, it is a bruising construction worker. This particular guy seems to be a bit shy since he never loses those shades. Now for myself, even that second doll is showing a bit too much skin, but the ladies may appreciate it. The men can check out a female version, though I have some questions about that one as well.
