Hershey’s has halted production of their Ice Breaker Pacs because of criticism that it looked too much like a street drug. Are you really telling me it took them two months to figure out that selling a white powder in a small glassine pouch was a bad idea? I am a bit surprised they didn’t sell it with a razor blade and mirror to try and increase sales even more.

They are on store shelves until they sell out so you may want to get them while you can.

Some people seem to attribute just a little too much human personality to their pets. Witness the Dog Wedding Dress with Veil. What possible reason would anyone have to dress their dog up in a wedding dress, with a veil no less? If it is just for the fact that this is also a harness, I can think of a lot simpler harnesses that would do the job. A lot cheaper too.

oral_sex_light

Yes indeed, someone has invented an ear mounted light specifically designed to illuminate the crotch during oral sex. Whomever is responsible for such a genius product, I’m not ashamed to admit that I would like to shake their hand (then spend the next two hours washing it.) Pair with the oral sex snorkel for a truly absurd sexual experience.

There is nothing that odd about a DC powered grill. But I do object to the description of Drive “n” Grill. You really cook while you are driving? I think there are enough cell phones, DVD players, iPod’s and makeup in cars without the smell of some burgers to distract you as well. You may think that people would know better, unfortunately that is not true for all.

spamalarm.jpgWhat kind of person would want a Spam Alarm Clock? I can only imagine a Spam aficionado or someone who is just fascinated at how it pops up. I am thinking my cheapskate brother would love one of these as a Christmas gift next year.

How many times have you been using your lighter, when you realized that you really needed a pair of nail clippers as well? If it has happened to you at least once, maybe you want to invest a couple bucks in this combination Lighter-Nail Clipper. Have a smoke while you clip your nails, or use it as a White Elephant gift at work.

big_willie

I thought the Britney Spears “Oops I Did it Again” action figure was going to be the weirdest thing I cam across this week, but this Dancing Dick just might give Britney a run for her money. Big Willie here will bust a move to Aerosmith / Run DMCs “Walk this Way” whenever someone crosses the path of his motion sensor. He even features a sideways baseball cap for that authentic urban look.

Sub Skate

Get yourself a Sub Skate and take your street skating skills to the water. Other than the ocean tides being difficult to control, I would say any calm body of water should work fine. At least as well as it will work in any case. I am not quite sure how fast you will be cruising along with this underwater with no means of propulsion. Maybe you should just stick to the wheeled version no matter how cool that picture looks.
