Have you ever seen the Carrot Top flick, Chairman of the Board? (Oddly enough, this is the same line I use to pickup the ladies.) Trust me, I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve seen it too, and almost enjoyed it on some guilty mental plane. Anyway, Carrot Top’s character creates a TV dinner which automatically cooks itself and has enough juice left over to provide the consumer with some TV using a built-in display. Needless to say, they were a big hit in the film.

MO:BEN, designed by Alex Cheong, is sort of the same thing, except with less radioactivity and more boredom (no TV included). The device is a portable food container which has a built-in heating and insulation system. So in theory, it could automatically heat your food to preheated temperatures of deliciousness. Also included are two handy eating utensils, perfect for the non-cavemen among us. More pics after the jump. (more…)

There was a time where people who resided in boxes or old shipping containers were known as hobos or murder victims (and perhaps both). The Illy Push Button House is an entire living quarter built inside of an old cargo shipping container.

Press a button and 90 seconds later your home is revealed, folded out from the container. Even more interesting, everything in the home is made from recycled materials. Such a house could be made to great use for disaster release, or of course for those damn hobo’s to modernize their living space. — Andrew Dobrow
