fresh-mints-of-kildare

Not since Craig David released the epic rn’b anthem ‘What’s Your Flava?’ in two thousand dickity-two have I been as excited to answer that very query but the Dairy Godfathers that are Ben & Jerrys are putting it to me and the rest of Ireland again in the Do The World A Flavour Competition. Buzz over to benandjerrys.ie and get mixing in their virtual flavour lab with the helpful cow in a chef hat. Choose chunks and swirls galore and then come up with a clever n’ catchy name to accompany your concoction! The winning maestro of ingredients will get to travel to the Dominican Republic and witness the benefits of Fairtrade on a cocoa farm, alongside Ben, Jerry and our flavour gurus. Not only that but the overall global winner will see their flavour on the shop shelves in 2010!! So what are you waiting for?!

 anti-theft-lunch-bags

The curse of the communal fridge. If you put a label with your name on a sandwich that just encourages all those bastard snack scavengers even further to eat it, it’s like giving you the finger behind your back. Try these anti-theft lunch bags from the. and you’ll rest assured nobody’s gonna touch your crambo club.

justice-coke-bottle

This is a 3-way collabo between our favorite electro frenchies Justice, Ed Banger designer SO-ME and fizzy brown stuff producer Coke that was launched a couple days back in France. The cool thing with this bottle is that it stays red in daylight and when the sun goes to bed it glows in the dark like magic!

peanut-butter-maker
The staple ingredient of many an Americans sandwich, peanut butter is facing a similar crisis that our Irish sambo staple ham faced a while back. Federal inspectors found the strain of salmonella behind the recent food-poisoning outbreak leaving 370 people ill. Some brands have been taken off the shelves so what to do amidst this poison peanut paranoia?! Well the answer is to make your own with the Nostalgia Electronics Peanut Butter Machine. About 40 blips in the states but it’ll probably cost you twice that with shipping but well worth it for the sense of self satisfaction and giving salmonella the middle finger. Tasty.

yespecanTo some the Obama inauguration hype has been well…getting on their bleedin’ nerves! A huge chunk of the planet has lost itself in Obama mania. Clever people you might say have taken it a step further to quench the thirst of the Obama faithful by making a quick buck from such a historical event. I watched an item on the box the other day which showcased some Barack Obama merchandise. Ranging from mugs, slippers, pyjamas (Ojamas) and even a special Ben & Jerrys Ice Cream called…Yes Pecan!
