Somewhere in Poland, there’s an unofficial PS3 bundle floating around with Ratchet & Clank, Gran Turismo Prologue, Ridge Racer 7 and…The Bible?
I’m all for convergence, but some gadgets just don’t belong together—like MP3 players with tasers and, in this case, mobile phones with shavers.
Inspired by yesterday’s Weird Combo of the Day, reader Mark sent us in this image of Pepsi White from Tokyo. What makes the Pepsi white? Yoghurt.
Are there any two flavours that would go together less than Pepsi and Yoghurt? If there are, I can’t imagine them (nor do I want to).

What’s the deal with Weird Combos of the Day that they involve booze more often than not. Is it because the people in charge of product synergy are more than occasionally enjoying the products they’re synergising? Perhaps. Or it could be that in reader Charles’ case in Shanghai, that whoever’s stocking these shelves are stretching a bit between the two types of creams. No matter; the Nivea probably tastes rich and creamy going down too. [Thanks Charles!]
In the market for some Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash? Also in the market for some low-end earbuds? Weird! This combo, found at a Target, is apparently designed for you and your completely irreconcilable needs. Seriously, which genius marketer came up with this idea? [Consumerist]
Digital Picture frames have been gaining in popularity lately, marrying convenience of having multiple pictures in one frame with the inconvenience of teaching old people how to use them. What’s even better about this version is that it’s for your pets. Your dead pets.
Remember that Microsoft Surface model? The one that was a competitor on American Gladiators last season and actually managed to win the whole thing? She’s actually a Gladiator now (her name is Jet), and really beefed up for the part. We would make a multi-touch joke here, but she’d break our fingers off and shove them into our eyeballs, so we won’t. Hit the jump for her new photo.
Behold, the 2-in-1 nail clipper and butane lighter. Because as we all know, the only way to properly dispose of your body’s nail waste is miniature, ritualistic burning. US$2.68 with free shipping—or US$1.34 per function. [dealextreme]Thanks Martin!
On July 23, Japan will get their chance to own Batman Begins on Blu-ray—about two weeks after it’s released in the U.S. But while our.gift set edition comes with story boards, script pages and a US$7.50 movie credit towards Dark Knight, our friends in the Land of the Rising Sun get a 25 cm high bust. Where’s MY bust, Warner Entertainment? Why can’t I get a miniature rendition of Christian Bale’s hooded face to stare at me stoically from my mantle? I may not be Japanese, but I like creepy stuff too! The regular Blu-Ray will be around US$47, the gift set edition is about US$180.[AV Watch]
I’m not quite sure I’ve got this right, but this here thingy is a remote-controlled clock-MP4 player-hidden camera. Apparently it’s a product that can be used for “any purpose you can think of, without anyone ever being the wiser.” ¿Qué? The built-in camera is PAL and NTSC-compatible, there is 128MB of flash memory, as well as an SD card slot and USB 2.0.
