Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans helped reintroduce novelty flavors in the youth marketplace (dirt, booger, vomit...), but Jones Soda has taken it to a new level with their 2005 Holiday Pack. Don't have time to eat your holiday dinner? You can drink it in five courses with their Broccoli Casserole, Smoked Salmon Paté, Turkey & Gravy, Corn on the Cob, and Pecan Pie flavored sodas. A second edition is available exclusively at Target (though not available online). Those flavors include: Brussels Sprout with Prosciutto, Cranberry Sauce, Turkey & Gravy, Wild Herb Stuffing, and Pumpkin Pie. We haven't gotten a hold of these yet, but I'm sure they'll go unopened when we do... Available at a store near you. Props to Jones Soda for having a little fun (and getting a little bit of notice for it).

This Friesian cow, more famously known as Marge, has a genetic predisposition to produce milk that is naturally low in fat, a breakthrough in bovine history. While most cows produce milk with around 3.5 percent milk fat, Marge's milk contains only...
Who got an espresso machine for Christmas? I did—an Ascaso Dream if you must know. It doesn't work on its own though, so I'm currently kitting it out with a few choice accessories to get the whole barista thing just right. Aprons not included.
