Stay Puft Caffeinated Marshmallow Giveaway

Technabob — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 13:00:57 +0000

I’ve personally had to go cold-turkey on caffeine, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get amped up with some of these Stay Puft Marshmallows, loaded with caffeine. And thanks to the guys over at 80stees, you have a chance to win a box for yourself.

All you need to do is post a comment below, and tell us the most ridiculous thing you ever did as a result of too much (or too little) caffeine, and you’ll be entered to win.

Two winners will be randomly selected from all entries, and each winner will receive one box each of Stay Puft caffeinated marshmallows. Each box contains 24 of the potent marshmallows, inspired by the Stay Puft marshmallow man of Ghostbusters fame.

(Contest runs from 4/4/2011 through 4/13/2011 at 11:59pm Central time. Winner must provide a valid e-mail address. Contest open to U.S. delivery addresses only. Prizes provided by 80stees.)

Mazooka Fires Tasty Marshmallow Bullets

The Mazooka is like a Nerf gun, except for the fact that its bullets are edible. The battery-powered gun can launch a single marshmallow as far as 30ft. I wouldn’t mind being hit by a Mazooka.

Unfortunately, the Mazooka can only fire one fluffy bullet at a time, plus it has quite a long recharge time. Here’s the toy in action:

You can order the Mazooka from the Marshmallow Fun Company for $50 (USD). I’m sure there are DIYers out there that can hack together a rapid-fire version of the Mazooka – and make it so powerful the marshmallow melts when it hits its victim.

LEGO Stay Puft Marshmallow Man: Who Ya Gonna Call? Minifigs!

The minute I saw this awesome LEGO diorama featuring the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, I just had to post about it.

This incredibly detailed Ghostbusters LEGO diorama features minifig versions of Venkman, Spengler, Stantz and Zeddmore putting their Proton Packs to use on their giant marshmallowy nemesis. Funny thing is, this isn’t the only Stay Puft LEGO diorama, as is evidenced by this photo taken at LEGOLAND in California several years back…

It’s a strange world we live in, no?

You Probably Don’T Need This Quasi-Robotic S’Mores Maker

The Progressive International Microwavable S’Mores Maker is an unnecessary gadget that makes s’mores in the microwave for you, which I thought was a jolly headless robot.

It’s more of fauxbot (faux robot.) That is to say, it sort of appears to be robotic but in fact it just has bendy arms that a human has to manipulate, which is a huge letdown for those of us who dream of robots performing simple everyday tasks like making our daily s’mores.

To be honest, I don’t even like s’mores that much when camping (I know, sacrilege) but microwaving crackers and marshmallows is just nasty. I suggest you try it sans weird anthropomorphic bendy arms guy before blowing your dough on this. However, it’s only $6.95, which is only about $6.85 more than what it’s probably worth. But if your wanton s’more-lust simply can’t be tamed, you can buy one from Amazon.
