If you’re not already dreaming about your favorite consumer products, advertisers could soon be invading your mind while you sleep. Studio Smack is here to show us what it might look like, if our regularly-scheduled dreams were replaced with subliminal advertising of Coca-Cola.

Never brew your espresso shots without the accompaniment of mellifluous music again. The Music Box Espresso Machine, by Hammacher Schlemmer, is the world’s first combination mechanical music box and coffee maker.
The device accepts Illy espresso pods and will make up to 10 short shorts or 5 long shots, from its 10-oz. water tank. Although creating ambience for your coffee-making will not come cheap — the Music Box Espresso Machine clocks in at $4,200. You read that correctly.

Growing up, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were everything… as long as mom remembered to cut the crusts off. However, now we’re adults, and booze is our comfort food.
Peanut Butter and Jam Old Fashioned is here to help relive fond childhood memories, while temporarily numbing the pain of being an adult. Each bottle of bourbon is infused with peanut butter, raspberry jam, and a dash of Himalayan rock salt.
No mention if they remembered to cut the crusts off before distilling. Check it out here.
