Tuned Pale Ale has it all; a great tasting beer and fine tuned musical set included in a six-pack. Flip the carrier over and you have a drum set. Take a drink from the bottle and you have a new note, until you hit every note to the bottom. Part novelty, part instrument, but completely ingenious packaging, if you ask me.

Check out the video to see why The William makes more sense than a traditional stove top range. Based on concentrated, precisely heated panels, this cooktop has it all — touch screen operation, flush, flat surface…. well, just take a look.

Masterlock has taken on a new design in the hope of attracting a whole new generation of school-goers. This combination lock nixes the numbers and relies on the toggles. Using any combination of left, right, upward or downward motions, you can set this lock for your new locker this new school year.
I think it is pretty aesthetically pleasing, and it claims to have increased bolt cutter protection and anti-shim technology, too. I remember when locks used to have numbers on them; boy am I getting old.

Desserts, recipes, drying fruit snacks — whatever it is that you do with a banana, you’ll never slice the same way again.
