Apparently, there is something called the World Cup that is a big deal. I guess it’s a soccer tournament or something. Whether or not you are familiar this Bizarro World game of ‘football’ doesn’t matter, because now you can take home a piece of the action (at least until it melts away).

Pots and pans are as simple as it gets when it comes to cookware. Just make ‘em out of something that can stand up to the heat while not spilling ingredients all over the place. Sure, choice of materials used in construction can always be a factor, but generally speaking the same basic shape of an open-mouthed vessel usually applies.

Alarm clocks are the enemy. As such, when they bleep their jarring blare in the morning, they deserve to be hit. Whoever invented the snooze button clearly understood this: not only is the magic button designed to shut the contraption up (albeit briefly) but the button is also usually placed right on top, conveniently within smacking range.

As enjoyable as waking up to breakfast (or at least caffeine) in bed may be, the snooze alarm always gets hit first, sadly placing the Swan Teasmade into the unusable category—at least while it’s within striking distance. Placed waaaaay over on that dresser, or maybe even in the bathroom, then they might be on to something. Or better yet, put in the kitchen and let it scream that it is time for tea all day long.

There are no ends to the possibilities when it comes to dressing up a hot dog. From sauerkraut and relish, to jalapeños and hot sauce, the ability to add a personal touch to the tube is one aspect that makes hot dogs so eternally popular. Add in the fact that the hot dog itself is available in a million different varieties, and practically every meat-eater out there is guaranteed a dog to their liking. Now, it is possible to add one variation to each and every option out there, thanks to Wynder’s Spiral Hot Dog Cutters.

If Star Wars and the NFL ever got together to make a baby, we’d all be doomed. The marketing machines behind both license-happy organizations would soon take over the world, branding everything from cookies to pancake molds. Oh, wait, it’s been done.

Grass is misleading. It looks like it should be all soft and fluffy, but in reality it’s sharp and pointy. And hardly as evenly-spaced as it looks. Along with sand (grrr…), grass has a tendency to just get in the way. However, cover it with a large blanket, and now you’re talking. Just add some warm weather and cool beverages and you got yourself an afternoon that can’t be beat. Until you try to set down your drink on bumpy grass or hot sand (grrr…).

For some of us, the Handy Holder Beverage Holders (Set of 2) by Picnic Plus makes perfect sense. Spiked into the ground, the hand-shaped 12-inch stainless-steel helper stabilizes your drink for you. As an added bonus, ice-cold beverages stay cooler longer, safely suspended up over the terrors of grass and sand.

Also available for wine.
