When Consumer Products Fight Back, A Short Film

What if we didn’t need commercials and Facebook ads to sell us products? And, what if those products could, instead, literally sell themselves?

Product Wars offers a short glimpse into this idyllic turned dystopian future, where consumer products are industrially-engineered to become their own mascot. Keeping in mind humans’ capitalist urges and their ease in discarding stuff that’s no longer of use to them, it should be no surprise that things don’t end well.

Perhaps the gun-wielding apple keeping an eye on a shackled hostage was a spoiler. See it all unfold below.

The Lunch Feeder Will Keep You Productive At Work

No time to stop for lunch? Well then… surely you’ll have time to construct a Rube Goldberg Machine to make hands-free feeding easier.

Brought to us by Joseph Herscher of Joseph’s Machines, The Lunch Feeder will keep you productive while it shoots food into your pie-hole.

Construct a similar device at work and then count the days until your inevitable raise. However, the 3 days it took to construct the machine is coming out of your pay.

Watch This Death Metal Ramen Commercial

Nothing says ‘instant noodles’ like some good ol’ death metal. Nissin knows this and has used some heavy music and seizure-inducing animation to sell some noods.

The commercial begins innocently enough with an adorable baby chick trying to enjoy lunch. Then, it gets weird, and METAAAAAAALLL!!

Watch This Guy Eat A 117-yr-old British Army Ration

As long as there are folks that refer to themselves as “ration enthusiasts,” consider expirations dates suggestions, and have access to YouTube, there will be videos like this.

Steve of MRE Info recently tried to ingest a 117-yr-old British beef ration from the Second Boer War (1899 – 1902). Although it’s unsurprising that the century-old beef looks and tastes like top soil, it’s probably more of a surprise that Steve is still alive and well.

Watch the taste test and try not to get too hungry.
