Starship Enterprise Spoon Feeds The Next Generation

Technabob — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 02:39:01 +0000

Space, the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five year mission, to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new teeth, to boldly go where no spoon has gone before. Nope, that’s not right. But it is exactly what you’ll get if you buy this Star Trek feeding system for your tot.

This whimsical set come with a Trek-themed bib, and you’ll be feeding your baby with a spoon that looks just like the original Enterprise. Both the apron and spoon’s warp nacelles feature blinking LEDs, to occupy your babe’s mind with dreams of intergalactic exploration, while transporting some pureed peas and carrots to his or her diaper.

Now, I don’t quite get the point of calling a spoon and a bib a “feeding system,” but it does make it sound more technologically-advanced. And while I don’t recall the original Enterprise having a spoon-docking bay in front, it’s actually not a bad idea in case the crew gets hungry exploring space.

Boog Coffee Warmer Heats Up Your Coffee in a Jiffy

My name is Hazel, and I’m a coffee-holic.

There, I said it. My day is literally incomplete if I don’t have at least one cup of joe in my system. A steaming mug is all I need to go from blah to TADA! in a jiffy. That said, one of my greatest pet peeves is pouring coffee out of the pot only to find that someone turned it off and let the coffee go cold.

Jung Eun Park’s solution? The Boog Coffee Warmer!

It looks just like a typical spoon or stirrer right off the bat, but pull on that little ringed end over there and you’ve got yourself a handy and portable coffee warmer on-the-go.

The wide end of the Boog actually contains a packet of calcium chloride while the farther end of its hollow interior contains a few milliliters of water. Pulling on the red tab will combine the two substances and set off an exothermic (or heat releasing) chemical reaction that will provide the needed heat to up the temperature of your brew up a few degrees in a couple of minutes.

It’s still a concept for now, but I can definitely see the Boog’s potential of changing up the way people enjoy their mid-afternoon coffee.

Snack and Stack Cutlery is Extremely LEGO-Like

The Snack & Stack cutlery set comes with a lego-esque fork, knife, and spoon with silicone handles that stack up for easy packing and, of course, a bit of fun.

The Snack & Stack was designed by Winnif Pang. It’s a product from Fred & Friends, and isn’t out yet, but should be in stores soon.

Even though the cutlery (ahem) strongly resembles Legos, it’s not a Lego-branded product, it just happens to look extremely Lego-like. It’s a good thing Lego Corp. isn’t all litigious and stuff or none of these products would fly and we’d all just be stuck stacking up Legos that serve no additional purpose whatsoever.
