<p><span id="more-47329"></span>&#8230;you could dissolve them in your coffee or tea. As a retro game fan, I just love these Tetris-inspired sugar cubes. They were designed by <a href="http://www.behance.net/gallery/Tetris-Sugar/888331">Danil Zdorov</a>, and are unfortunately just a concept at this point.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8230;but not the coke that Scarface likes; this cellphone runs on Coca-Cola. Actually it doesn&#8217;t just do Coke, it also gets pumped up on other sugary fluids.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26200" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/coke-fuelled-phone-2.jpg" alt="coke fuelled phone 2" width="600" height="599" title="coke fuelled phone 2 photo" /></p>
<p>Designed by Daizi Zheng, the cellphone&#8217;s fuel cells generate electricity from sugar, which isn&#8217;t exactly groundbreaking tech, but it&#8217;s not widely used either.<span id="more-26196"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26198" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/coke-fuelled-phone-1.jpg" alt="coke fuelled phone 1" width="600" height="491" title="coke fuelled phone 1 photo" /></p>
<p>In the end, Zheng&#8217;s concept is merely promoting an already existing – albeit relatively new – technology, and what better way to promote an environment-friendly battery than by putting it on a cellphone?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26199" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/coke-fuelled-phone-3.jpg" alt="coke fuelled phone 3" width="600" height="476" title="coke fuelled phone 3 photo" /></p>
<p>Hundreds of millions of cellphones have been sold, all of them equipped with batteries that are not easy to dispose of. If our phones used these &#8220;bio batteries&#8221; instead, then it would be a huge step towards a cleaner environment. But I do hope that the future environment-friendly cellphones will look much better than this. Much, much, much better. I mean the only way this thing would look cool is if it was a Coke-powered lightsaber.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Super Mario fans &#8211; looking for a sugar fix? These delicious sweet and sour candies are the perfect treat for anyone who spends at least a few hours a week bouncing around the Mushroom Kingdom.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-25536  aligncenter" title="super_mario_candies" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/super_mario_candies.jpg" alt="super mario candies" width="600" height="574" /></p>
<p>There are 5 different candy designs, including green apple sour 1-up mushrooms, blue raspberry mini mushrooms, cherry red cherry power-up mushrooms, sugary yellow star candies, and strawberry-flavored coin candies.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-25537  aligncenter" title="super_mario_candies_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/super_mario_candies_2.jpg" alt="super mario candies 2" width="600" height="312" /></p>
<p>The guys at <a href="http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BAC10011&amp;mode=retail">BigBadToyStore</a> are taking pre-orders for the Question Mark Block candies now. You can get the Mushroom Sours and the Super Star candies over at <a href="http://www.birthdayexpress.com/browse/_/N-i/Ntt-super+mario/results1.aspx">Birthday Express</a><a href="http://www.fractalspin.com/x/home.php?cat=25"></a>. All of the candies sell for $3.99 (USD) a tin.</p>
<p>I always figured the gold coins were filled with chocolate, not strawberry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <em>Gears of War</em> geeks over at <a href="http://gearsofwar.wikia.com/wiki/Imulsion">Gearspedia</a> describe Imulsion as <em>&#8220;a phosphorescent, highly volatile, low-viscosity fluid originally discovered by an oil exploration drill on the planet Sera.&#8221;</em> They go on to say &#8220;<em>direct exposure to Imulsion for any length of time will cause Locust subjects to transform into Lambent forms, making them, amongst other things, highly explosive when killed. In extreme cases, Imulsion exposure will cause the subject to mutate uncontrollably&#8230;&#8221;</em></p>
<p>So why not turn Imulsion into an energy drink? Sounds yummy to me.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-19197  aligncenter" title="gears_of_war_imulsion_drink" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/gears_of_war_imulsion_drink.jpg" alt="gears of war imulsion drink" width="600" height="600" /></p>
<p>That&#8217;s what the guys over at Boston America have done with this sticky sweet yellow concoction being sold under the <em>GOW</em> brand name. I bet if Marcus and the Gears had been drinking this stuff all day long, they would have been much more efficient at curb-stomping the Locust Horde. But the Gears&#8217; loss is your gain, and you can buy a case or two for yourself.</p>
<p>Imulsion Energy Drink is available over on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BTWVX2?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B002BTWVX2">Amazon</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B002BTWVX2" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" title=" photo" /> for $2.99 (USD) a can. Drink up.</p>

<p>The centerpiece of this geeky cakestravaganza is an aluminum MacBook Pro laptop, complete with a highly detailed keyboard, and LCD (that&#8217;s Lickable Candy Deliciousity) display with an on-screen message to its lucky recipient, Victoria &#8211; who apparently is a fan of the SuperFriends, too. There&#8217;s even a matching Mighty Mouse, and a few other random desktop accessories &#8211; including pens made out of sugar. Yum. Be sure to check out all of the pics in the gallery below:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This quirky little invention from Japan will turn most hard candies (i.e. Life Savers or Jolly Ranchers) into custom flavored (and colored) cotton candy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4784 aligncenter" title="custom_cotton_candy_maker" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/custom_cotton_candy_maker.jpg" alt="custom cotton candy maker" width="520" height="554" /></p>
<p>No more boring pink cotton candy here. Nope, in minutes, you&#8217;ll be cranking out blue raspberry, root beer, and grape cotton candy creations with this gadget. Combine a couple of candies to make new flavors like candy apple and strawberry watermelon. Think Jelly Belly, but in cotton candy form.</p>
<p>Just drop your favorite hard candy into the heating bin of the Ame de Wataame cotton candy maker, and in seconds, you&#8217;ll have a delicious custom spun sugar treat. I&#8217;d personally like to try an Atomic Fireball or some cinnamon red hots for a sweet and spicy surprise. You can even use it to make cotton candy from sugar free candies, but what fun would that be?</p>

<p>Need to satisfy a serious sweet tooth, but don&#8217;t live in Tokyo? The guys over at <a href="http://www.kilian-nakamura.com/catalog/ame-watame-custom-home-cotton-candy-maker-p-195.html?language=en">Japan Trend Shop</a> are exporting these around the world for $159 USD (plus $60 EMS shipping).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Star Wars</em> fans, here&#8217;s another oddity to add to your shrine to all things Jedi and Sith. These candy lightsabers won&#8217;t cut through flesh and bone, but they sure will satisfy your sweet tooth.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1974" title="lightsaber_candy" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/lightsaber_candy.jpg" alt="lightsaber candy" width="520" height="543" /></p>
<p>Hasbro&#8217;s <em>Star Wars</em> Candy Lightsabers are based on the authentic movie weapon designs for Darth Vader (red) and Anakin Skywalker (blue). They&#8217;re filled up with a gooey, glittery, edible, substance called &#8220;Spliquid&#8221;, which apparently comes in an assortment of fruity flavors.</p>
<p>So whenever you&#8217;re rarin&#8217; to go into a sugar-induced coma, you can grab a dozen of these collectible suckers from <a href="http://store.candywarehouse.com/lightsabers.html">Candy Warehouse</a> for about $50.</p>
