Nalgene Bottles Inscribed with Foreign Language Cheat Sheets

SNP:

Bottles in Translation is a company that takes Nalgene Bottles and prints foreign language translations of popular words and phrases.

If you’re travelling in a foreign country and you’re embarrased of having to pull out a little translation book, you can pull out your drink bottle instead and look up foreign language translations while maintaining your cool.

The company offers translations in Spanish, French, and Italian, and offers bottles in six stylish colors.

$15.99 per bottle.

Interesting idea, but I have to say their tag line seems rather ridiculous: “Don’t stand out like a tourist; fit right in with…BOTTLES IN TRANSLATION!”

Because, you know, when you’re hiking Machu Picchu or bumming around Vilnius or eating banana pancakes on Khao San Road, no one will know you’re just a tourist when, confronted with a sticky situation, you turn to your custom-inscribed Nalgene instead of a phrase book.

Sometimes a Double-Barrel Cigar is Just a Double-Barrel Cigar

SNP:

The “3 Tierras Premium Cigar” from Felipe Gregorio, Inc. is being billed as the world’s first double-barrel shotgun cigar.

It’s two cigars fused together at the mouth-end.

The Cigar is said to be made with a Dominican-grown piloto-Cubano leaf mini cigar and a Habano #92 Nicaraguan tobacco mini cigar. The two cigars are merged into a pyramid-shaped head, which is wrapped for about one-third the length of the cigar with a third leaf of Brazilian Arapiraca.

The Cigar is offered in Escopeta (two 5 x 30 cigars) and Lupara (4-3/4 x 26) varieties. They’re sold in 20-count boxes. The Escopeta variety is priced at $4.80 and the Lupara variety is priced at $4.25.

Unintentionally Hilarious Holiday Costumes

Reader Katie C. sends along a link to this “shalom dog costume” available at (oddly enough) SantaSuits.com, which features a line of costumes for pooches.

The site contains lots of weird stuff, including an extensive selection of biblical character costumes. Perhaps my favorite is the deluxe Jesus costume (scroll down).

But the tackiness doesn’t stop there! Check out the absolute worst angel costume ever created (second one down).

Beer for dogs. What more is there to say?

All I Want for Festivus….

All I Want for Christmas…

…is a Mountain Man Coyote Fur Hat. It’s available at Cabelas for about 200 bucks. The pricetag is a bit steep, but c’mon. Awesome. Simply awesome.

From the catalog copy:

Relive the era of the mountain man with this authentic full-body coyote Mountain Man Hat. The hat drapes down in the back for added warmth and protection on your neck and shoulders. From reenactments of famed mountain man triumphs along the frontier, to displays and decor befitting America’s pioneers and settlers, the classic styling and authentic coyote hide make this hat a conversation starter at any gathering. Soft, white-tanned interior holds up to years of wear. The professionally cleaned fur is exceptionally soft and holds its sheen extremely well. The perfect gift for rendezvous black-powder re-enactment enthusiasts. Made in Canada.

I’ll Take a Salmon Soda, Please

Thanks to Dave T. for the pointer to this unbelievable Reuters piece on a new salmon-flavored soda:

For beverage connoisseurs tired of turkey-and-gravy or green-beans-and-casserole-flavored sodas, there’s a new choice being offered this year by specialty U.S. soda manufacturer Jones Soda Co.: salmon.

Jones Soda, the Seattle company that scored a hit during the last two holiday seasons with its turkey-and-gravy-flavored sodas, said it is offering the orange-hued fish-flavored drink this year in a nod to the Pacific Northwest’s salmon catch.

“When you smell it, it’s got that smoked salmon aroma,” said Peter van Stolk, chief executive of Jones Soda.

The artificially flavored salmon soda will be offered as part of a $13 “regional holiday pack” that also includes other unusual sodas such as turkey & gravy, corn on the cob, broccoli casserole and pecan pie.

Looking for a New Loveseat?

Then perhaps you’d be interested in these first class airplane seats. They’d look cool in your livingroom, perhaps, but at 1500 bones, the comfort-to-price ratio might be a bit skewed (which is not unlike actually flying in first class, if you ask me).

Don’t tell the fine folks at BananaGuard.com, but there’s a new kid in town. Say hello to the Banana Bunker.
