Yikes! That is one spiky cat.

Be careful reaching for that wine–it looks like the Hand Made Designer Wineholder “Cat Kitten Pet” Wine Holder doesn’t want to share! Happy Friday the 13th!

Just because it is cold outside doesn’t have to mean the good times need stop flowing. Or the beer either for that matter. One way to stay warm on the outside while warming up on the inside is with the Sküüzi – The Scandinavian Koozie! (Emphasis theirs.)

As we all know (at least those of us over the age of 21) the volume tends to go up in direct proportion to the amount of beers that have been opened. Here’s to thinking that the designers have created a quality product and don’t happen to just be shouting. Cheers!

Were hot pocket sandwiches better back in the 40s? Most likely they were, even though they didn’t have microwaves. Strike that. Especially because they didn’t have microwaves. Instead, they apparently used the Toas-Tite Grill to whip up a quick and hot filled sandwich. Just clamp and hold over an open flame (like a gas burner) and you’ve got yourself some old school quick eats.

Product Description:
The Toas-Tite is Back! The much loved Toas-Tite grill was produced from 1945-1953, and then it disappeared. We don’t know why. About a year ago, my sister and I came up with the crazy idea of making exact replicas of the Toas-Tite grill from the 1940s. WE DID IT!!!!!!!! After making hundreds of Toas-Tites on our new grills, we’re sure you will enjoy them as much as we do. Makes a Luscious Sealed-In Drip Proof Toas-Tite Sandwich. Start a family Tradition, The Kids will Love Them. From Fruit Pies to Tuna Melts – the possibilities are endless.

For some reason, beer cans do not come with handles. Not only would a handle be useful while imbibing, but also when making beer can chicken. Understanding this dilemma, the Rosle Beer Can Chicken Roaster incorporates a handle where before there was none. As for beer can drinking, well, just hold on tight. (Or use a mug.)
