“Merry Christmas, Grandma! Ohh… well… this is awkward… but you appear to have gained too much weight in the last year to celebrate Christmas with your grandchildren.”
How many times have I been weighing flour when all I wanted was to hear the soulful vocalings of Miley Cyrus?
If you need high technology in every household appliance, you’ll be happy to know that the Withings WiFi Body Scale is now available in Australia, letting you track your weight over Wi-Fi.
We thought the internet was a haven for fat dudes who liked to look at pretty girls without judgment or ridicule.
This bathroom scale by designer Jim Ruck takes a painful-looking approach to the simple act of weighing yourself in the morning. Instead of a platform, the users stands on thousands of pins.
The best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning before you eat and, preferably, after you have used the bathroom. That’s where the toilet seat scale comes in.
As if her expanding belly—among two other bigger, more fantastic body parts—isn’t proof enough to show you how pregnant your baby mama is, the Bun-In-The-Oven Scale will remind your woman of her pregnancy journey, via expanding waistline images, every time she has gained another 20 pounds—that’s one ginormous baby! Oh, and did we mention that when you buy this $US95 scale, you also get a new bed? Yes, we’re talking about that dingy old couch in the living room with that really uncomfortable spring sticking out.

The spoon-scales from a while back we called “perfect for dieters and dealers” because of the spoon part, but with this wristwatch scale… Well, it’s just convenient for when you really, really need to weigh small quantities of stuff right then and there. Makers Jennings call it “The first Pocket WatchScale ever” and it measures in grams, ounces, Troy ounces and pennyweights, to a max of 10.5-ounces with 0.001-ounce accuracy. Strangely the one thing it doesn’t seem to do is tell the time, but it’s out now, for about US$25. [Product page]
As if you didn’t already feel fat enough, how does sitting on a chair that doubles as a scale sound? Indeed, the Weighing Seat concept from the design team at Atypyk reminds you of how fat you are getting every time you sit down to eat. It could very well be the most effective diet you have ever been on. Either that, or it will force you to start eating your meals standing up. But look on the bright side, you can finally start weighing your farts. Ever been curious about that? What, just Jason and I? Come on guys, admit it. [Atypyk via Likecool]
I happen to love the automated check out lines at the supermarket, but I hate the five or six seconds of my day that are wasted there when I have to manually input the name of the produce I’m weighing on the scale. Lucky for me, and for other lazy people who absolutely have to have those five seconds back, there’s a new development in automated check out scales that could revolutionise the supermarket industry. Here’s a hint: It’s like facial recognition, but for fruit!
