Vat19 is advertising a 26 inch long Gummy Worm. And it’s not erotically weird at all. Not even the guy holding it with both hands in the photo above. And why would you not want a 26 inch Gummy Worm? You don’t like candy? Maybe you don’t like long and thick super sized candy that’s ribbed. What’s wrong with you?

I’ll tell you one thing, it wouldn’t be cool to see some hot women deep throating this thing. Especially ones with big tits. I think I’ll do a quick search of the web, just in case someone is abusing this innocent candy treat.

It’s about that time of year again to break out the grills. Good times! However grilling can be serious business if you’re going beyond brats and weenies.

If you want to really want to impress your buddies, grill steaks. But as you know, not everyone wants their steak done black and charcoal like. So you have to ask them how they want Theirs done, which means you have to know when to flip and when to pull ‘em from the fire. The
Charcoal Companion Steak Station Digital Meat Thermometer makes it easy to grill the perfect steak. It lets you know when each steak is rare, medium or well done. Plus it monitors 4 steaks at a time. Nice deal for $21.99.

Taking my Watermelon for a Stroll

Watermelon cooler Taking my Watermelon for a Stroll

Have you ever see people walking their dogs and cats in strollers? Not baby strollers, but strollers that are specifically made for them? Somehow that has become acceptable. Back in the day, when I was a kid we had a neighbor who would dress her dog up in baby clothes, and she had to walk him in a baby stroller. But now you can let your crazy flag fly high and put Tikerbell in a stroller made just for her.

Now raise the crazy flag a little higher, because here comes the watermelon stroller for your favorite fruit. Actually it’s a cooler, but it has a handle and wheels. Either way it’s weird and, of course, invented by the Japanese. And it doesn’t make any damn sense at all.

However, I would like to walk around the park with this on a Saturday afternoon. Just to show those pet parents what crazy really looks like.

And what better way to spend $230. That’s not a typo, $230.

Mello Yello gets Retro

melloyello Mello Yello gets Retro

The last time I had a Mello Yello was probably around…um, I can’t remember. But it was probably sometime in the 80′s when I was a kid.

Mountain Dew, it’s direct competitor in the super sweet citrus flavored soft drink arena has been the king as long as I can remember. Coke sold 27 million cases of Mello Yello last year versus 630 million for Mountain Dew.

Coke, who makes Mello Yello, now wants a bigger piece of the pie, and new ads will re-introduce the product to millions of America. And on top of it all, it gets a new retro look, with a pair of green and light red L’s strolling off the edge of the can, as their 1979 had.
