Yet another strange product from Japan. This time, it’s a natural product. Milk. However, it’s not normal milk.

It’s taken from cows only once a week, at the break of dawn. This way, the milk is about 4 times richer in natural melatonin than usual. Melatonin is considered to be a strong stress reliever.

The fact that the milk is bottled at no more than 6 hours after the milking also helps it to retain natural properties.

What’s truly stunning about this milk however is its price: $43 for a 900-milliliter bottle. Quite ’spensive, isn’t it?

The original press release is right after the break.

This is one version of “Snakes and Ladders” that isn’t suited for kids, along with dodging snakes and climbing ladders you’ve also got to sup the odd shot along the way. The game includes a few twists on the traditional version:

• Ladders that allow you to jump forward
• Snakes that push you back several squares
• Targets that force you to take a shot (like you need a reason to) or even better a double shot. All shot glasses have to be refilled.
• Targets that allow you to pick a friend that has to take a shot
• ‘Truth or dare’ challenges… You can imagine what the combination of drinking, good company and a truth or dare challenge may result to…

You can get drunk playing Snakes and Ladders for £9.95, booze not included .

I don’t normally see the point of buying a tiny iPod and then sticking it in a massive case, but the bevy is different, not only does it protect your iPod Shuffle it can also open bottles of beer.

Have you got an iPod Shuffle? Do you drink beer? Do you use keys? If the answer is yes to all three, then you need the Bevy. This ingenious sliver of sturdy plastic and bottle top-biting metal functions as an iPod Shuffle case, a bottle opener and a keyring. Talk about multi-tasking!

Coffee lovers, rejoice! There is now a way for you to conjure a cup of hot joe just the way you like it via an Internet connection, courtesy of some caffeine lovers with a penchant for DIY. This unique coffee making machine is powered by the O2M8 WebBrick controller that is used for automation in houses.

Fanboys, don’t worry. The title doesn’t mean that all Final Fantasy titles will be no more - it simply indicates the commemoration of 10 years since the release of Final Fantasy VII on the Sony Playstation by the release of the vitamin-packed Final Fantasy VII Potion carbonated drink. Each can will come with images of characters from the best selling game, including fan favorites Cloud and Sephiroth. There will be 16 different character cans to choose from, where each of them retails for 191 yen (approximately $1.65) a pop. Only 4.8 million cans will be produced, with the first shipment hitting store shelves on October 23. Are you thirsty for some?

A bottle of booze isn’t that special (other than the sedating effect of its contents), but when you pair it up with some outrageous imagination, you will get an illuminated container filled with alcohol inside. This is made possible with a battery-operated LED that is placed within a cork that sits on top of a bottle, lighting up the beverage of you choice in the process. Nice design, but too bad this is just a concept at this point in time. Would be nice to order drinks based on color sometime down the road…*hic*
