What do 288,000 jelly beans look like?

After watching this video I couldn't stop smiling (and salivating.)
Who knew you could be so creative with jelly beans?



Special thanks to Alice for sending me this video!

Sticker to soap


Don't you just hate those stickers on fruit?  


You either try to to peel them off and they stick to your fingers or you completely forget that they're there and then you wind up with gross paper in your mouth.  Luckily, Amron Experimental came up with a clever solution.  They created a label that turns into soap when washed and rubbed.  How clever is that?!?  Poof!  Goodbye unwanted wax, pesticides, and bacteria!

Baby Manny meets Baby Chuck

If you've been following this blog, then you already know that hubby's sister gave birth around the same time that I did.  (To see those posts, click here and here.) Last weekend Baby Chuck and Baby Manny** chatted online.  I'd like to imagine that their conversation went something like this:



Or, perhaps their conversation went something like this:



Tee hee hee.  We look forward to Skyping everyone again soon. 


** Henceforth his pseudonym will be Manny Pacquiao.

Kitty Litter cake


You can eat this box of dirty kitty litter.  

No, I'm not kidding.  This isn't a real box of kitty waste; it's a cake.   This edible look-a-like is made from cake mix, instant pudding, cookies, and Tootsie rolls.  Whether you find this creation extremely creative, terribly gross, or both, it's sure to be a conversation starter at your next party.
