Are you tired of your juice coming in a bottle that you have to open? Do you have an endless thirst for fresh tortillas at all hours of the day and night? DO YOU JUST HAVE TOO MUCH drat SPACE ON YOUR COUNTERS? Fret not, good backer, because we have the means to fill every desire you didn't know you had! Your grandmother had one soup pot and a cast iron skillet to cook with her entire life, but that poo poo's old. Bring in the new poo poo!

JUISIR: Fresh juice for the rest of us

Lots of people were disappointed that the $400 Juicero machine meant to give you fresh juice at the touch of a button (after buying, receiving, and loading a bag of specially formulated juicer-fuel, that is) folded after getting shitloads of negative press for being "a machine that squeezes a bag with the same force that a dork squeezes his anime body pillow," but God drat if the guys at JUISIR don't have you covered! Launched in January of 2017, JUISIR is literally just a bag-squeezing machine, designed to take the work out of "home-juicing" which I assume is some kind of advanced sex manuever. With a suggested retail price of :siren:$800 USD:siren: this hunk of plastic and brushed aluminum is sure to break down after your fourth or fifth cup of disappointing fruit pulp! They do have one advantage over ol' Juicero though - you can at least pack your own lovely fruit into the squeeze bag!

FLATEV: A Keurig for tortillas?!

Here's a problem you didn't even know you had: YOUR TORTILLAS ARE loving WEAK, DAWG! Yeah that's right, you thought you could get away with those twelve-for-a-dollar tortillas from the store? Not anymore, baby! Now you just need to fire up your FLATEV, and have fresh (tiny) tortillas at the touch of a button! Simply pop in a pod, dial in all your settings, and wait while your single tortilla is unceremoniously farted out into the special warmed storage drawer! Single serving tortillas are perfect for taco nights or being a racist at a halloween party, because it only takes several minutes per serving and who doesn't love waiting around to make a single taco?! Because FLATEV has aped Keurig's business model, make sure you stock up on loving TORTILLA PODS (I wish I was joking) in various flavors and varieties - cinnamon tortillas for breakfast every day! Your kids will love it, and definitely not use the huge bulky machine to brain you once it gets clogged with tortilla dough!

Cave Kettle: It's like a pot, but way more complicated!

Your wonderful, loving grandmother used to make soup stock in a big pot on the stove, humming sweetly while the broth bubbled away all day. Your mom used to go pick up those boxes of premade stock at the store. Both of them were IDIOT PIGFUCKER MORONS. Now, utilizing the fantastic future technology of a self-heating kettle and some kind of propeller, I guess, you can have "bone broth" (which I assume is some kind of advanced sex maneuver) ready at the touch of a button - assuming you come back and touch the button again after the hour this thing takes to kick up some tepid cow tea. That's right, never use your stockpot again you idiots, this is the loving future. Simply add all the normal poo poo you'd put into stock into this small countertop thingamajig, press the go button, and then I guess go do some other stupid poo poo while this thing cooks! For $100 you get a mostly useless blend of a crock-pot and a blender that will churn out a small amount of broth for you to drink out of a mason jar or whatever the gently caress weirdo crossfit millenials do with soup.

I give you... ALCHEMA



https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alchema/alchema-turn-fruit-into-personalized-craft-cider

Somewhere between "throwing your rotten fruit away" and "getting blasted on rubbing alcohol," there exists a magical fantasy land in which you can utilize those expensive-rear end pomegranates your kids won't eat to get ripped in the middle of the day! ALCHEMA is your own personal small-batch cider maker! Simply add fruit, sugar, and water of your own choosing, pop in one of the handy yeast packets, and then let that poo poo hang out on your counter for a week (or 16) and entertain your friends with your own terrible Cidre!



ALCHEMA is actually kind of a cool idea until you realize they're shooting for a mostly unattainable millenial ideal - one in which you have infinite free time and money to spend on fresh fruits for your hyper-advanced five gallon bucket, and not the far more realistic scenario in which you drunkenly stuff a bunch of old moldy bananas in the thing and frantically push the button before stumbling into your bathroom to polish off the mouthwash and pass out in the shower.

It also depends on whether or not there's any kind of coating on the copper.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present to you the ultimate innovation in food science. They said it was impossible. They called him a madman. They said he was spitting in the face of a benevolent God. But Mark Murray wasn't going to let any of that stop him from creating THE HAMDOG.



Apparently this poo poo is old news in the rest of the world, but it's the first I've ever heard of it and it's loving incredible, and it's coming to a truckstop near you, soon. I'd go so far as to say it's a goddamn gamechanger. Check this poo poo out:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hamdog/worlds-first-hamdog-restaurant-new-york-city-usa?ref=category_popular

quote:

It all started late one November night in 2004. Creator Mark Murray had just walked out of a downtown Nashville bar, to grab a bite to eat. On the sidewalk was a hotdog van, and across the road, a hamburger cart. Mark was faced with the dilemma of choosing either a hamburger, or a hotdog. Hungry and unsure, he grabbed one of each. As he was then being driven home, he started eating both his burger and hotdog at once, taking one bite at a time out of each. He then turned to the driver saying "These taste good together, be easier to eat it if they just joined em together!" What came next....

In the following days, the idea of combining these two popular fast foods occupied Marks mind constantly. Finally putting pen to paper, he created his Hamdog™ bun idea. Now the then 39 year old Entrepreneur was no dummy when it came to ideas. He already had an "Australian Government Innovators Award" under his belt and had created numerous successful products and businesses from scratch.

Mark spent weeks researching the possibility of bringing his idea to market. Though two things challenged him. One, that it maybe a bit ahead of it's time. Two, if it was publicly accepted, it could be copied.

This poo poo is blowing my mind right now.

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?

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.

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.

Seriously, apparently these guys think that this is a real thing people need or want.

quote:

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.

Also, in case you were wondering, no, of course there's no accompanying mask to ensure you get the oxygen, YOU IDIOT. JUST POINT THAT poo poo AT YOUR FACE AND LET FLY!

And second of all, I found a project for you, please buy me stuff with all your rich doctor/lawyer/bitcoin money!

Behold, 24 CARAT GOLD WATER:


https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1925277356/24k-eau-dor-24-carat-gold-mineral-water-0

Now, I'd link you to the pitch video, but our good friend from Copenhagen didn't see fit to make one, and you can probably guess why: the pitch here is pretty thin. Like, paper thin. Or something even thinner than that, I don't know. It boils down to "We want to put gold in water for you to drink" and that's about it. It's worth noting that this is the second time our friend has tried to bring this project to life.

I want to poop gold please posted:

The standard mineral waters on the market are often overpriced and boring. This is why many people choose a soda instead. We want to change that! We've created a beautiful 24 carat gold mineral water. The bottle is made of glass, so it is sustainable. The mineral water is magnesium rich and of Scandinavian quality. And the gold is from North America's nature. 24K EAU D'OR is just as amazing as it sounds!

Today you can drink mineral water without feeling bad about nature. You can drink the purest gold. You can drink mineral water of the highest quality. You can drink the 24K EAU D'OR. Pure Luxury!

How is that luxurious, you ask? Well gently caress you, you probably only own one private jet! Just look at this handy chart!





I think my favorite part of this is not that he reused the icons for both the water bottle and the pile of gold bricks, but that the flavor text under "Mineral Water" explains that yes, you will in fact be getting mineral water in your bottle of mineral water.
