Shocolate Vault Jar

Juniper Foo | Jul 26, 2006

If Ben & Jerry's can sell ice cream locks, why not one for candyholics determined to control their sweet tooth? The Shocolate Vault Jar marries the best of the Euphori-Lock and the Taiyo BuzzTrainer USB shock therapy device. If you haven't already guessed it, this little goody bottle throws in a little shock treatment to, well, jar you out of the habit. Works just as well to deter sticky fingers. Stash your sweets or even ciggies away in this vault, set the timer, and see how long you can suffer the countdown. Masochists need not apply.

Self-Stirring Mug

Juniper Foo | Jul 25, 2006

If one had a time-traveling DeLorean and went far enough into the future, humankind would probably resemble those statues on Easter Island--all big heads and tiny bodies. And we'll have to thank those gizmos that take the labor out of little things, such as this self-stirring mug. Armed with a battery-operated propeller sitting at the bottom of the cup, all it takes is one button touch to leave your beverage/sugar/milk mix stirred, if not shaken.
