Ice cube trays don’t get more bizarre than ones shaped like a AK-47 magazine. That’s what forged these bullet-shaped ice cubes shown above which, for some reason or another, are now chilling our favorite drinks.

No, not even Titanic or Tetris-shaped ice cubes can match what these puppies are packin’. That’s a whole lot of heat for such a chilling product. They aren’t available as of yet, but you can pre-order ‘em for $13.25. That’s sure to give you the head start on everyone else who is still using those Swedish rocks found in the mountains to chill their drinks. How grimy!

When I’m headed to the beach, I’m usually carrying a heavy ass cooler full of beer. The problem is, I’m always going alone, all by myself. At first, it might not seem like that big of deal, but then it strikes me: who can I find to carry my stereo?

A question that haunts me no more, thanks to Boomcooler. This $900 dollar appliance is a portable stereo system and cooler. It’s no pushover stereo either, with two Sony Xplod speakers, an 1100 watt subwoofer, this cooler is bumpin’. It’s a damn shame only dry cooling is recommended. Dumping a bucket full of ice into this thing will certainly end the party prematurely.

In Japan, you can find a plethora of unique things that you simply won’t find anywhere else. From vending machines to robots, a lot of products are like ones you’ve never witnessed before. This time around, it’s a spa called Saltasia.

As the name implies, this spa is heavily salt-based. Salt lines each room and is supposed to promote anti-aging and relaxation. Only women can enter the spa and at 105.8 degrees fahrenheit, it’s no chill spot. Plenty of LEDs flash and cover most surfaces while ambient music plays. Sounds more like a chill-out room at a rave but hey, to each her own.

Needless to say a hacker conference can take a lot out of a geek. That’s why this chill spot was put in. It makes watching the conferences upstairs relaxing, while hanging around in a hammock. If you had a computer you could partake in the humorous messages that would appear at the bottom of the screen displaying the speeches. The folks at the conference provided a web link that turned the hammock chill spot into a slew of comments displayed at the bottom of the screen from anyone using the site. “My ass hurts” and “there is a dildo missing from the art display” were two of the funnier comments made as everyone lounged around fiddling with their laptops.
