What’s a better way to bond with someone than over a cheeseburger? I know! Dining on a CHEESEBURGER on top of a CHEESEBURGER table while sitting on CHEESEBURGER stools! Unfortunately, these stools only stand 11” high so that means it was built for your toddler. Dagnabit! If grownups knew how to have more fun, they’d make’em in our size. ($160 @ mauriciousfurniture.com)

The last thing I would consider using to get my fingers clean would be buffalo wings. Seriously, can you think of a more obnoxiously messy, yet utterly delicious pre-meal? Interesting enough, there will be millions of wings eaten during today’s Super Bowl, and even more millions of dirty fingers that wish one of their favorite foods hadn’t just coated their fingers in buffalo deliciousness.

Who would have thought we’d be able to wash off our fingers with…more buffalo wings? A young lady out of New Jersey by the name of Robyn has found a talent in creating soaps that are dramatically realistic to their real life counterparts.

In this case, Robyn has made some olive-oil based Buffalo Wings and Celery Soap, made-to-order, with custom scents (she has plenty to choose from, from Juicy Watermelon to something called Metro Chic), none of which are buffalo-sauce flavored.

Don’t eat these…in case it wasn’t utterly obvious. ($7.95 @ Etsy)

If there’s ever a tiff over the last drumstick, pull this baby out no one will ask any questions about it! It’s a convenient accessory you should have on your personnel at all times. Especially if you like to be prepared for…

Behind bars, you got a lot of time on your hands and not a whole lot of eating options, so you’re bound to get creative. From the Big House to Your House is a collection of 200 recipes by six female Texas inmates who were sick of jail food and wanted something “homemade.”

How creative are they getting when there’s no oven, refrigerator, stoves, knives, or even fresh food for that matter? Let’s just say a potato chip bag doubles as a pot and toothpaste tubes can be spoons if you really think about it.

What are the favorites in this cookbook? Tuna nachos and “baked potato” made of crushed potato chips and water. These recipes may not sound tasty for those of us on the outside, but they sure are interesting! ($14.95 @ amazon.com)

Eating out isn’t cheap, especially if you’re frequenting eateries as much as I do.

Let’s face it, there are some things that a restaurant does for you that you can easily do yourself. I probably can’t serve up a perfectly prepared tuna tar-tar complete with a red wine reduction as well as a five-star restaurant, but I can definitely serve up some some fresh-baked bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar along with some other fancy eats at significantly less cost to me.

Now, I can add fresh edamame beans to the list of stuff I can make instead of the restaurant I’d be going to if I had more money, and I don’t even need to go to the store! I do, however, have to wait for them to grow out of a ceramic pot that looks like a glass of Japanese beer. In any event, a little light farming is a small price to pay for some delicious soy beans right in my own home.

It’s bad enough that many of us are skipping breakfast every morning, but now there’s a way to get those flavors in your mouth, clean your teeth, AND not consume anything? With Breakfast Dental Floss, you can do just that. In fact, with this weird set, you are now in a full capacity to be able to floss your lower teeth with coffee, and use waffle and bacon flavors on your uppers. ($5.98 @ Amazon)

I know your situation. You’ve gone canoeing with some homies, brought a few drinks, maybe a few snacks, and then it hits you like a left hook from Muhammad Ali…

“How will my friends and I satisfy our BBQ craving without leaving the water???”

The Floating Flamer BBQ Grill will fix everything wrong in the world as the world’s first floating grill. Shown above is the “Topless Model,” which is perfect for small weekend adventures, and can fit easily in a pickup truck. The other model they have is the “Grand Flamer,” which is a much larger ‘competition’-sized grill that looks big enough to make an entire camp of people happy.

You’re probably thinking… “A floating BBQ… in the water? That sounds dangerous!” But then again, you’re also thinking, “A hot, juicy cheeseburger sounds pretty damn good right now…” Safety over hunger? Nahhh, you’re totally surrounded by water to put out the flames anyway, so (hopefully) you’ll be fine. No word on the actual pricing yet, but if you’re interested in making history happen, check out their website here.

Denial, anger, depression… bargaining, acceptance… all supposedly reasons that possess many of us to drink. Based on the level of your emotions, you can now associate it with a volume of hard alcohol. Congrats?… Should you take these shot glass seriously?

Definitely NOT, it doesn’t work like medicine and if anything it would just leave you more dazed and confused. But hey, these shot glasses will surely make a great topic of discussion at your next social gathering. Or your last. ($38.00 @ jakespade.com)

Artist Ron English always seems to have something to say…without actually saying it. Actually, I take that back. He’s not beating around any bushes with his latest vinyl figure, Fat Tony the Tiger, an extravagant take on the popular breakfast cereal mascot, Tony the Tiger.

Fat Tony the Tiger is a look at what Tony might actually look like had he feasted on the sugary breakfast cereal he was hawking in all his commercials. Another welcome piece of awareness from Ron English’ series of breakfast cereal riffs.

Who knew that Ridley Scott’s 1979 film Alien would somehow be making it to our kitchen utensil lineup over 30 years later? That’s the case with these Alien Chest-Burster Chopsticks featuring a high-quality sculpt painted with fine detail, with each chopstick measuring 9-inches long. Everything is seamless, with the ends of the chopsticks forming the creatures’ tails — each chopstick is reportedly fully safety tested and fun for the whole family. ($9.99 @ EntertainmentEarth)

Get your slurp on.
