Something that we’ve suspected all along… Baguettes can do anything. Tumblr blog Baguette-Me-Nots by Serious Lunch agrees, and features a few celebrities and comedians convincingly using baguettes in place of everyday objects.

From a hairdryer to a gun silencer, and whatever the hell George Takei is using it for — the series may be a bit more head-scratching than thought provoking, but it does make us want a baguette — more so.

DVDs That Look And Smell Like Pizza

dominos-pizza-dvds

Domino’s Brazil has come up with a set of DVDs that’ll make you want some pizza to go with that movie. Partnering with a few video rental stores in Sao Paolo and Rio de Janeiro, the DVDs are printed with a thermal ink that, at first glance, appears to be a standard label.

When warmed by the heat of your DVD player, the discs will reveal the look and smell of a real pizza — which is more than we can say about an actual Domino’s pizza. Please enjoy this video…

Star Wars/Star Trek Mashup Cookies

Now that one person, J.J. Abrams, is responsible for the creative direction of both Star Wars and Star Trek, geeks worldwide are having an even harder time choosing sides. These cookies won’t help.

Brought to us by Sarah Trefney, Star Wars/Star Trek Cookies combines a few notable characters from the two franchises — such as Spock as Obi-Wan, Chekov as Luke, and Darth as a Klingon.

Hopefully the cookies taste as good as Episode VII sounds. Because batches I, II, and III tasted like crap.

The Portland Press, A Mason Jar Coffee Maker

portland-press-and-jars_project-body

Stop me if you’ve heard this one… But someone has come up with an alternative use for a mason jar, and they’ve launched an online funding campaign to get the project off the ground. Only this time, the mason jar will help brew your coffee.

The Portland Press uses a few carefully constructed, American-made parts to help turn a mason jar into a functional French press. The Portland Press is also fitted with a wool cozy to keep your beverage warm and to help distinguish you from the other hipsters who are only using their jar to drink from — those posers. Find out more about the project here.
