I'm not really understanding the burger/dog configuration here. Is that just two halves of a burger that will fall out all floppylike when you pick this thing up, or have they created some kind of burgertrench for the hotdog to live it? AUSgoons help me out here. I have to know. Can I get a HAMDOG fully loaded? What about the fries, are they piled high?

I genuinely don't know what to make of that, except that the little part of me that sometimes whispers "Jump" when I'm standing on the edge of something tall really really wants to eat one. I don't... are those pickle slivers? It looks like pickle slivers, onion straws, and weird hotdog pepperoni chips. Do they come in different flavors? Could I get a "Philly Cheesesteak" Pizzaburger?

So our friend filed for and received a design patent on just the bun. Which means that he is preventing people from making buns with decorative handles. That's the sum total of the "innovation" he is claiming.

Amazing stuff here.

Yeah apparently they have leased out the design and collected a royalty or whatever from a bunch of restaurants around the world (don't know how truthful that is) but because it's patented in America they want to open their own place to reap 100% of the profits. All this because he drunkenly bought a hotdog and a hamburger one night, I guess.

This of interest only to me, but the patent is invalid because the handles are not strictly ornamental; it's a functional addition that differentiates it from a standard bun. If I were a jackass I'd file an objection with the USPTO and attach this as evidence that it's not a decorative element.

Mark decided to apply to Shark Tank USA. A show that puts budding Entrepreneurs in front of a ruthless panel of high profile investors. Mark made an application, even offering to cover his own expenses to get from Australia to the USA, though was rejected. Then one day Mark noticed the new Australian version of Shark Tank was looking for ideas to be pitched on the coming show. Mark made an application and was accepted. Airing on Shark Tank Australia's first episode, all the panel of investors laughed the idea away as any type of real business. Though while "Shark" Andrew Banks didn't see it as a business, he though it was worth a "punt" and a few phone calls, offering to try and sell the Patent for a share in what he could get for it.

Two years passed with no real interest from anyone to purchase the Hamdog™ concept.

"When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. And that one sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that’s what you’re going to get, Son, the strongest castle in all of England."

Edit:

"Our experience with our Food Stalls at public events has proven we can produce an average of four Hamdog's a minute with six staff which is still not fast enough. Though with an efficient store layout, staff and processes, we believe we can produce 300+ Hamdog's per hour."

The only way to mass produce a hamdog bun would be to make hamdog specific cooking molds. Hot dogs are done in a baking pan with walls while a burger just a sheet. That's where patent money is at.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alchema/alchema-turn-fruit-into-personalized-craft-cider?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=alchema

"ALCHEMA enables you to homebrew your own unique flavor of hard craft cider. With the simplicity of making a pot of coffee, you can turn your favorite fruit into craft cider with limitless flavor options."

Oookay...

"We created Alchema to simplify homebrewing, starting with cider. Alchema brings the joy of craft cider to you and your loved ones. You pick the ingredients, and let Alchema take care of the rest!"

Are you saying tha canst give booze t'baby?

"With Alchema, you can create your own flavor of craft cider or mead within 2 weeks. You can also make wine with Alchema with your own resource of wine grapes and age it for longer."

It doesn't take me two weeks to brew a cup of coffee. Mead? That's a fairly intensive procedure that involves fois gras'ing the yeast with honey...

"Fermentation is a natural process where yeast transforms sugar into alcohol. Alchema simplifies the homebrew hassle by helping you enjoy your own craft cider in just 3 easy steps: "



Compare with the homebrew steps of;
1) Look up on internet
2) Mash up fruit
3) Add Yeast
4) Keep the flies out and wait.

"Alchema is equipped with medical grade UV-C LED light that sanitizes the container before starting the fermentation process."

Works for bacteria, but won't touch anything hardier, like spores.

I'm wondering how they know that fermentation is complete. You'd normally check the alcohol content and the amount of outgassing, but they seem to handwave the app quite a bit.

Have you ever wondered how important the OXYGEN is?

So, we've all been there. You're getting ready to go on a hike, bike ride, or some other sort of eco-friendly physical activity, but gosh darn it, all these drat oxygen tanks keep getting in the way! You can't not take supplemental oxygen, but you also need room for your water bottles, sports bars, and vintage Kodak camera! Well, never fear, my intrepid millenial friends, :siren:AQUOGEN:siren: is here to help!

:siren:AQUOGEN:siren: is a two-part water-bottle-and-supplemental-oxygen device that will not only allow you to hydrate, but will blast UP TO 25 BREATHS (PER REFILL CANISTER) OF ENRICHED OXYGEN at your face, so you can pretend it's helping you breathe better while it immediately dissipates into the dirty air between your nose and the bottle.

Rapid deforestation and pollution over generations of industrialization over a period of time have reduced oxygen levels in our atmosphere. High altitude regions and adverse situations like avalanches or natural calamities are not the only place with deficiency of oxygen. Further, if you're an adventure lover who enjoys mountaineering, yoga, or high altitude pilgrimage places, or if yoiu're a sports enthusiast who likes hiking, trekking, or cycling, you're at a constant lookout for clean oxygen in the air. On other instances, fatigue, depression, and people with respiratory issues also need enriched and fresh oxygen.

you're at a constant lookout for clean oxygen in the air.

Yeah that's definitely true, I'm constantly sorting through all this air trying to suss out the clean oxygen from the rest of it.
