This massively wacky tooth care set, featuring what must be the world’s only bacon flavored dental floss, is either brilliant or disgusting – and my best guess is that it’s a little bit of both. Along with the aforementioned pork-flavored variety, the breakfast floss set also comes with coffee and waffle flavors. Got a little leftover breakfast stuck in your chompers? Wiggle it free with some waxed bacon floss, baby! Open wide and say yummmmm. ;-)

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve liked my comics in bite-sized form – little strips or single frames that could be enjoyed on their own without understanding a larger plot-line. Short attention span, much? You could say that, but my personal theory is … Ooh, shiny things!
I discovered XKCD years ago and was instantly addicted to its clever use of humor, pop culture, and intelligent ideas. Created by Randall Munroe, a former contractor for NASA, the XKCD webcomic is described as being centered around “romance, sarcasm, math, and language” – making it perfect for the witty geek who appreciates a hearty tri-weekly laugh. But if you’d like an easy way to enjoy the classic strips of the past, or just want to own one of the raddest coffee table books in existence, the XKCD Volume 0 book (including 120 pages of author and fan favorites from the first 600 comics) is where it’s at!

I’m sure there’s a perfectly logical reason for perching a pair of elf ears on your car. No really, there has to be some sense to this … Maybe some kind of vehicle-based Lord of the Rings LARPing action? Hey, let’s see you come up with something better!
The Elf Car Costume comes with ears that are a sorry excuse for Middle-Earthian appendages, and a completely inexplicable striped hat for your grille that would look far more at home perched on the noggin of a Where’s Waldo cosplayer. The product info states that the elf ears are easy to install on rolled-up windows. A design requirement or a safety precaution, given all the insults and ridicule that will likely be hurled in your direction? Only one way to find out!

I could never really claim to be a crafty gal – unless we’re talking about “crafty” in the mischievous and scheming sense, of course! But my lack o’ skillz at fashioning handmade goods aside, I love it when something that would have been otherwise discarded can be recycled into something rad. And nothing quite screams “rad” (or any other applicable ’80s adjective) quite like the boombox. But if cassette tapes are a little too retro for your modern music stylings, the recycled ipod boombox dock would be a totally “boss” compromise! Created from recycled candy boxes, this durable and totally stylish mp3 player docking station comes with clear, high-quality speakers – perfect for blasting your favorite jams, yo!
