LEGO my shot glass. The Build-On Brick Shot Glass is a fun way to get your drink on, while you add you own flair.
The set of four colorful and bricky shot glasses doesn’t actually include additional bricks… But you can always break out your brick stash and get creative. We’d love to see what you come up with after a few LEGO shots.

If you thought playing with a building that transforms into a robot looked like fun… How about a fish that transforms into a piece of sushi?
Brought to us by Bandai, Gyakusaisei Motomodoru Sushimodoru is a line of Japanese ‘toys’ that start out as a food item, and can be changed into their inevitable sushi form. They’ll be available via toy/gumball machines for about two-dollars a piece.
Just try to curb your child’s enthusiasm, as they anticipate which sushi piece will randomly pop out of the machine — tuna sushi, ikura (salmon eggs), squid, kappa-maki (cucumber) or tamago(egg).
Remember the fun and glue high you had when assembling plastic toy models? Now, you can have at least half the fun with Special Spoons by Dutch designer Ineke Hans.
Assembled like a set of plastic toy model parts, the utensils can be removed from their holder and used to scoop up, stab, or spread your favorite foodstuffs. Have a good tube of airplane glue handy during lunch for the full effect.
If you’re one to play with your food, and you like your toys deep-fried and anthropomorphic — there’s Dalston Fried Chicken. This cute little guy was created by Mark James, and inspired by hazy late night visits to fast food outlets.
And, to help celebrate the figure’s vinyl-ness even more, he comes with Cherrystones ‘Chicken Rhythm‘ 7” single.

Lost amongst dozens of others in the same package, all the same color, and with no moving parts — little green army men would quickly become the least popular of your toys. But now, the army men are back, hoping to redeem themselves by helping to open your beer. The Army Man Bottle Opener takes advantage of the little green guy’s stoic pose — creating a great tool for prying open a cold one.
And, it’s made from sturdy die cast metal. So, don’t bother trying to melt this one outside with a magnifying glass.
