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 to MAYA, I have this sudden urge to bite into any and all robots. Doughnuts just don’t do it for me anymore.

Now you can complete that dream picnic you’ve always wanted with your very own inflatable salad bar. Blow it up, throw some ice in it and you’re set to keep your veggies cold while you and your friends get wasted and stumble around on your lawn. It’s only $30 and doubles as a flotation device/sperm catcher.

You call it an inflatable salad bar. I call it an inflatable raft glued to a table.

How many times has your wife bitched you out for buying ugly kitchen appliances? I’m sure if you’re like any normal couple, it’s happened plenty of times and the both of you are sick of it. In comes the Salad Plant to save the marriage day!

Essentially, it’s a plastic plant when you have both tongs placed inside the pot. Yank the tongs out and you’ll become the ultimate salad-tossing machine. As an added bonus, you can use the pot to hold the salad. Sure, it’s a bit offbeat, but who isn’t these days? Plunk down $25 and make the wife happy.
