Oven-Baked Tarantulas from ThinkGeek (Yup, They’re Real)
Oven-baked in their native Cambodia, these very real tarantulas are available from ThinkGeek for $24.99 a piece, complete with fangs and hair. They’re ready to be eaten straight out of the package, described as crunchy and a Cambodian delicacy. Baked, not fried like other less-healthy cooked tarantula alternatives, each tarantula is chosen from carefully monitored sources to ensure their preservation and then cooked by Cambodian locals (probably children). The tarantulas should be on available by Thanksgiving. I call the penis!... Continue reading
Lollipop Pencils Give You Something to Chew On
Rubber is an acquired taste. Sugar, everyone loves. So it makes sense that pencil chewers ditch their pencil erasers for something a bit more appetizing. Lollipop Pencils replace the standard eraser with a flavored lolly candy. If you’re a wood nibbler, I’m still short on solutions. But hopefully the sweet taste of the candy eraser will deter you from chewing on the wood. Designer Lowcy Dizajnu designed the Lollipop Pencil in the hopes that erasers will be spared and used...

Edible Wedding Dress / Cake
Short on space and even shorter on cash? Looks like you’ll be cutting a lot of corners when it comes to wedding planning, which can cause bankruptcy all on its own. The Edible Wedding Dress Cake not only saves you some space in the reception hall but saves you some cash as you’ll only have to shell out for the price of a cake rather than both a cake and a dress.

Edible Cutlery Tastes Better Than Silverware
Can’t a man eat his eating utensils without worrying about damaging his internal organs? Every time I eat my silverware I need to be rushed to the hospital, and frankly, I’m sick of it. Apparently someone else was having the same problem. This Edible Cutlery is, well, edible. Created by Julien Madérou, these are some utensils I can really sink my teeth into. My tummy is much happier to be full than pierced by a metal spike. Plus, I leap... Continue reading
Steampunk Wedding Cake
Believe it or not, the metallic gears, doors, rivets, and panels were all made of fondant and were entirely edible. Through our long history of steampunk fanboy-ism we’ve never come across an edible steampunk creation, so this is pretty incredible.
Bamboo USB Keyboard and Mouse Make Perfect Gifts for Geeky Pandas
A great edible gift for a Panda, not such a great edible gift for Panda pet owners. The 106-key Bamboo Keyboard and Mouse from Brando connects to your computer via its USB port and offers support for Window 2000/XP/Vista and Linux. If you live in a heavy Panda bear population, you might want to either lock the keyboard up tight or mask its scent with your (hey, we don’t judge, Ok, maybe we do judge a little bit) or your...

Robotic Cucumber Hand Goes Great With Ranch Dressing
Haven’t you always wished that Mrs. Butterworth would come to life, just so you could catch her and suck the syrupy blood from her veins? That’s almost the reasoning behind MAYA working with two edible forms of robotics: the NanoKrispies, a mobile human-shaped Rice Krispie treat and the more recent work; a poseable hand made from cucumbers. So far, what we’ve seen is very impressing. For me, the idea that robots could be eaten was, before today, unfathomable. Now, thanks... Continue reading
Sandwich Phone! OM NOM NOM
Continuing the series of edible phones, the Sandwich Phone is part carb-filled lunch, half telecommunications. Pull the pieces of bread apart and one of the slices acts as a receiver, the other as the keypad.
