Designer Will Shannon’s Chalk Chess set is exactly what it sounds like. Instead of just creating an impromptu board on the sidewalk using chalk, the pieces themselves are also made from chalk. I had no idea they even made black chalk. Who knew? Pieces range from 1.5″ tall (pawns) to 3.5″ tall (kings).

And while you can use the pieces themselves to create your game board, you’re likely to wear them out pretty quickly that way. I’d go ahead and throw a couple of pieces of regular chalk in the game box to preserve the playing pieces.

Oh, and this goes without saying – you probably don’t want to play with these in the rain. While its manufacturer, Suck UK is currently sold out, you can find The Chalk Chess set over at Useful Things for $19.95 (USD).

It was designed by Christopher McNicholl for SUCK UK. The internals of the radio are housed in a simple cardboard structure, which can easily be recycled at the end of the product’s life. The device itself is also pretty minimal, which is somewhat appealing from a design standpoint. It’s powered by 4 AA batteries or DC power (power adapter not included). It comes with two nice retro dials and an audio jack to allow you to play some tunes off your media player or smartphone.

The Cardboard Radio sells over at Suck UK’s store for £25 (~$40 USD).

The Flower Grenade’ were designed by Suck UK to introduce vegetation in derelict urban spaces. They are completely biodegradable seed bombs, and come packed with soil and various seeds, including Buttercups, Ryegrass and Poppies. They won’t make a big bang when they land, but a few weeks later, there will be some flowers left in their wake. The flowers will take at least 3 weeks to grow, while the Ryegrass will pop out after only a week.

The clay will completely dissolve in the rain, so there won’t be any evidence left of your actions after a few days. It’s the perfect way to beautify some ugly backyards that have been bugging you for a while.

You can get a pack of three Flower Grenades from the Suck UK site for £12 (~$20  USD).

You can buy the stickers from Suck UK for £5 (appx. $8 USD). It’s cheaper than buying a wooden case for your gadget, but I’m pretty sure you can find a wooden trinket or key chain for much less. What’s next? Rabbit’s foot stickers and portable wishing wells?

Created for what seems like the never-ending 30th anniversary of everyone’s favorite dot-gobbling arcade game (except for Ms. Pac-Man), these cookie cutters come in a set of four, including Pinky, Inky, Clyde, and Pac-Man himself.

One can only assume that Blinky has already turned blue and been eaten. You’ll be able to gobble up the full set for yourself over very soon at SUCK UK for £$12 (appx. $19 USD).

Our friends over at SUCK UK have gone through the trouble of making these sticky notes which look just like the original 3.5″ floppy, each set into a pad of 50 sheets for taking all your notes. They’re perfect for any computer geek’s workstation, and they come in a three pack with pink, yellow and white diskettes.

You can order a pack over at SUCK UK’s online shop for £7.50 (appx. $12 USD) each. I’m thinking that in 10 years or so, they’ll be making flash drive sticky notes while we’re storing all of our data in holographic cubes.

SUCK UK is offering up these doubly-ingenious cake molds, which can be popped into the microwave to crank out mini cakes in just seconds. The segment cakes are great for making age-specific birthday cakes, as well as perfect cakes for the next time you throw a 24 TV theme night. Yes, I have it on good authority that Jack Bauer personally endorses these cakes.

They ship in a clever box that looks like a mini microwave, and they come 7 to a box so you can make any single digit with a box. Or a birthday cake (and a half to spare) for your 111 year old grandma. You can grab a set over at  the SUCK UK website for £10 (appx. $16 USD).

Now somebody go bake me a cake, I’m starving.

These Xmas Declaration ornaments are perfect for sending a bold political statement with your holiday tree this year. Each shiny plastic ornament is modeled after a hand grenade, and is guaranteed to not actually blow up your tree – unless you decide to fill yours with black powder.  The ornament hanger that looks like a grenade’s safety pin is a nice touch.

They come in sets of six over at Suck UK for £20 (appx. $32 USD) , and a portion of each purchase will result in a donation to Ctrl.Alt.Shift‘s fight against global injustice.

Perfect for labeling boxes, temporary signage, creating impromptu artworks or modern graffiti, the tape comes in either a dot-matrix or segmented style. Just grab a permanent black marker and mark out the appropriate white portions of the tape to reveal your message.

Designed by rAndom International for Suck UK, the tape should be available soon. Prices will range from £5.00 to £7.00 (about $10 to $12 USD) a roll.

[For some reason, all this talk about tape made me think of Flight of the Conchords].

Two versions of the compact cabinets are in the works, one that’s a racing game called Dirt Track Rally, and some sort of space game named Cosmic Intruders.

Designed by the bright minds at design house Suck UK, the cardboard mini arcades should be available this September.

The oh-so-clever designers over at Suck UK have put together this kit that lets you make a modern version of the mix tape.

Packaged in a container that looks like a classic cassette tape, the USB Mix Tape actually contains a USB drive that you can load your special playlist of tunes onto. They’ve also included one of those ruled cards that comes with blank cassettes for you to jot down your playlist.

It’s part of their new Fall 2007 collection and should be available this September.

While most portable stereos aren’t particularly waterproof, this one doesn’t stand a chance in a rainstorm. The Mini Cardboard Boom Box comes folded flat and ready for assembly. It runs on two AA batteries, and connects to any MP3 player with a standard 3.5mm stereo jack. But it looks best with an iPod sitting in its “dock.”

The guys over on 7Gadgets dug this up on the Suck UK website. I wasn’t able to find a price for it, so I’m not sure if it’s even for sale yet.
