When we were kids, our parents told us not to play with our food. But this waffle iron encourages just that behavior, cranking out stackable waffle pieces that interlock like LEGO bricks. It makes 1×1, 1×2, and 1×4 blocks. In addition, they’re offering plates that serve as a base for stacking, with spots for butter and syrup.

Maraschino cherries are meant for desserts, not cocktails. Italian Black Cherries from Filthy Premium Mixers & Garnishes are the secret to the best Manhattans and Old Fashioneds served in the world’s best bars. They’re made from natural Amarena cherries, slow-cooked in copper pots.

Gymnastics were always difficult for us. So color us impressed with this video of Michael Lewis performing 27 front flips in just 20 seconds.

This unique metal fidget toy looks like a tiny rangefinder camera. Its front is packed with neodymium magnets so you can slide it back and forth. Plus, it has a clicky shutter button, a rotating lens, and a magnetic teeter-totter on its back. It’s available in stainless steel or titanium.

The next best thing to having cocktails in NYC at the award-winning Via Carota restaurant is having their mixed drinks available at home 24/7 in these Via Carota Craft Cocktail Sets.

We’ve seen some pretty awesome LEGO roller coasters over the years. Master Builder Alec says this build for the LEGOLAND Discovery Center Bay Area is the world’s largest. While we’re not sure about that claim, it’s still impressive at 9 feet tall and constructed from 30,000 pieces. Here’s a POV video of the ride.

Not every song translates well to medieval instruments like a lute, zither, and recorder. But this hardcore cover of the R.E.M. track Losing My Religion by musician Algal the Bard plays out perfectly. Perhaps the Athens alt-rock band was born in the wrong century.

Ready to chew bubble gum and kick ass, but you’re all out of bubble gum? We’ve got a game for you.

The upgrade pack includes Hoffman Lenses that reveal hidden words on some cards.

If want to be a Mandalorian, you must recite their creed, “This is the way,” to acknowledge that anything is acceptable. Auralnauts went back through the first three seasons of the hit Star Wars show and tallied up every time the phrase was spoken, and turned it into a pleasant little synthwave track.

Call it a thruple, if you will. Crafthouse ready-made cocktails got cozy with Dark Matter Coffee and Traverse City Whiskey Co. to beget a limited-edition Coffee Old Fashioned cocktail in a bottle. The result is a perky caffeinated cocktail featuring a whiskey blend of straight bourbons with two high-rye mashbills aged 2 to 5 years.

Radiohead and The Smiths are both English bands, and they’ve both taken up political and social causes in their music. But sonically, they couldn’t be more different – until now. Musician Desmond Doom took the restrained sounds of No Surprises and gave it the jangly guitar and vocal stylings of This Charming Man.

This teensy top from the makers of the Mezmocoin and Mezmoglobe is small enough to carry on your keychain or a zipper pull. It spins smoothly on its ball-shaped tip, and clicks into a quick-release ring so you can carry it everywhere. Available in stainless steel or brass with an optional glass or magnetic base.

Choose from 13″, 18″, or 21″ sizes.

Aluminum cans are highly recyclable, with their metal finding its way into everything from cars to appliances to more cans. But after watching this short video, we realize they can also be recycled into costumes. These two were spotted wearing outfits fabricated from recycled cans. Not only do they look cool, they sound fantastic too.

Vehicles that roll on tracks are generally built for their terrain-handling capabilities and not their speed. But rctestflight managed to achieve both with this machine, a direct-drive snowcat driven by electric skateboard motors. With its skinny tracks installed, the custom-built R/C vehicle can hit speeds up to 50 mph.

This nifty little skateboard accessory attaches to the underside of your skate deck and produces sparks when you pop a wheelie or scrape its tail along the ground.
