Loaded Dice

August 11th, 2009 by Edwin in Drinking Gadgets

loaded-diceLike drinking games? How about the Loaded Dice? As with any good and self-respecting drinking game, this one is extremely easy to learn – all you need to do is fill the shot glass and slam it down, performing whatever you need to do according to the throw of the dice. The more intoxicated you get, the less inhibitions you have to perform according to the instructions given! This will definitely help you grow a pot belly in no time if you knock back a considerable number of glasses each time you play, but at least you have good fun while you’re at it!

ShotCarver transforms fruit into shot glasses

April 1st, 2009 by Edwin in Drinking Gadgets

The next time you host a party and want to be the talk of town, how about purchasing a few of these ShotCarvers in advance? After all, they’re able to offer something most people would never have expected – shot glasses made out of fruit itself. All you need to do is insert the device into an apple, pear or other fruit, twist and remove – voila! You’ll have removed most of the innards of a fruit, offering a fair bit of space for you to pour your favorite poison within. Sure, the ShotCarver doesn’t seem to function any differently from an apple corer, but at least this $12 device ought to be more of a hit among drinkers than housewives.

The Missisipi Distiller

March 9th, 2009 by Edwin in Drinking Gadgets, Home Gadgets

This looks like some sort of strange mad scientist design of a contraption which concocts a weird potion after putting in all sorts of exotic ingredients. Actually, it is known as the Missisipi Distiller that attempts to capture the original spirit (pun not intended) of the American south distilling heritage.

Designed in Barcelona, Spain, this finely crafted home distiller illustrates the nuances of English that are often lost in translation. The still’s copper frame is engraved with Missisipi Destil Co.–an honest, if poorly translated, attempt to pay homage to the distilling heritage of the American south. Destined to elicit questions from guests and encourage conversation, the distiller is reminiscent of those used to make brandy or extract essential oils from plants for use in perfumes. The alcohol burner, cucurbit, condensing pot, and collection cup are made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass–the same glass used in laboratory beakers. The distiller is mounted on a walnut base and its frame is made from five copper plates secured in place with copper rivets.

How much does it cost to bring this piece of memorabilia home? $199.95.

Playpump channels the energy of children for fresh water

January 28th, 2009 by Mark R in Drinking Gadgets, Eco Gadgets

I’ve always told my wife that the ratio of energy between children and adults is completely disproportionate. It’s like parents need twice as much energy than they already have to deal with half the energy their children already possess. That might sound confusing to some readers, but if you have children, you probably have noticed how easily they can wear you out.

Fortunately, there are ways to channel the energy of children into something that can help their future. This is what the Playpump is designed to do. This merry-go-round is connected to pumps, and when children spin it, they are able to tap into the fresh water below.
