Nu-Screen HD Polish Stick Keeps Gadget Screens Shiny and Waxy

I guess someone was bound to come up with a product like this sooner or later. Invented by Joe Graley, the Nu-Screen HD is a rub-on substance that supposedly keeps gadget screens clean and shiny. It’s mostly made up of carnauba wax, which is also used in car waxes, surfboard waxes, floor and furniture waxes, shoe polishes… you get the idea.

Unfortunately we don’t have any concrete proof of Nu-Screen HD’s effectiveness – a demo video would be nice. But even if it does give gadget screens that brand new look and make them easier to clean, I’d still rather use my plain old screen protector on my phone to protect it from scratches. So I guess I’ll hold out for a, uhm, screen protector polisher. The Nu-Screen HD is available here for $20 (USD).

Chocolate Sweet Magnet: Robot Snack or Choking Hazard?

The cleverly designed Chocolate Sweet Magnet lets you break the whole bar into smaller pieces, so you can share it as you would a real chocolate bar. Just let the kids know that it’s made of wax and metal and not cocoa and milk.

You can get the Chocolate Sweet Magnet at MollaSpace for $18 (USD).

Super Melty Mario

There’s really not much I can say about this oddity, except that it’s a handmade candle featuring the likeness of Mario, along with what I think are some butterflies and ribbons.

The artist says that the outside won’t burn so you can reuse the candle with a tealight inside. Maybe it’s just my warped mind, but think it would be a heck of a lot cooler to see a little Mario meets Indiana Jones Nazi face melting action.

The one-of-a-kind wax masterpiece is yours for the low, low price of $18.99 over on eBay.
