iPod accessory maker Maxell is going to release music player earbuds that look like many kids’ favourite candy-coated chocolate candy. What could possibly go wrong?!
I have had my share of accidentally-eaten Lego pieces–specially the 1×1 bricks that I used to keep in my mouth when I was a kid–which actually explains the weird chemical components that always pop up in my blood tests. Some of them, anyway. But I digress. What is important here is that someone has actually come up with a way to mix two of the most important inventions in the History of Civilization–Lego bricks and gummy candies–into one single product that you can make at home: Lego gummy bricks. Yes, I know, they look–and probably are–as delicious as the real ones.
Who says you need to have a fancy carnival-worthy setup to make cotton candy? In China, they make cotton candy using a simple bike. There’s propane underneath the apparatus, heating up the sugar, but then it’s all spun around and stretched out by simple pedal power. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like they figured out a way to make fried dough or sausage with onions and peppers using only a bike, so you might still need to go to a fair to get those. [Make]
