Lays (or Walters, I guess it’s the same brand) has a new vending machine that doesn’t accept money. It accepts potatoes! That’s right!
While in the machine, the potato passes a lot of phases (wash, peel, cut, fry, salt and packaged) then you receive your fresh package of potato chips.
See the video, it’s pretty cool!
PS. Despite looking real, the process that you see is a 60 seconds’ animation. You kinda receive the same greasy and manufactured “potatoes” that you always did from Lays.
It sucks, I know! This could be real. It would be pretty nice and healthier! And way more interactive!
My question is: Why the fuck do they want our potatoes? Trying to annihilate the competition?
Well, for you that are reading this article with your ass comfortably landed in a soft couch in your fancy house, with a cup of coffee next to you, seated in front of you top-of-the-art computer with great internet connection, probably it can’t change your life much! Actually it can hold your drinks inside of it, that’s good enough, right? WRONG!
As you know there are millions and millions and even more millions of people living below poverty line. But at least they have something that is kinda missing in society nowadays: Creativity to reuse materials and to find new solutions for their day-to-day problems using your “garbage”.
I’m showing you these examples, because I have faith that every time you throw a bottle away in the future, you will think about these people and the importance of such an ordinary object.
Am I saying for you to do the same? No, because luckily you don’t have the same problems as they do, but I want you to be conscious about these realities and to think “what can I do with this bottle? Will I put it in the recycling bin or can I do something different with it?” (At least I hope you recycle your stuff!)
A school made of plastic bottles
Yes, it is possible!
In the end they look like this (the 1º pic)! Crazy, huh?
Well girls, this post is entirely dedicated to boys. They also deserve to be aware of what’s fashionable at the moment. I haven’t seen a lot of posts for boys on other “girls’ blogs”. Of course there are a lot of fashion blogs and websites focused on men fashion, but as you all know, not all the boys like extravagant clothes or care about what’s going on on ALL the runways and specially, they are not interested in dressing golden trousers with a fancy cowboy hat and a pink purse (yes, I’m exaggerating! But you got the point)
Dear Boys,
If You:
Have a pretty normal life
Pass great time of your day at your work or school,
Don’t have much time to dress up in the morning
Don’t care at all about high fashion
Dress pretty much without light, because it’s fucking in the morning and you don’t want to open your eyes
Still ask your mom or girlfriends to help you with “shopping time”
Aim to look at the mirror and feel like “the only guy in the world” (that’s asking too much, stop acting like a girl!)
Want to look pretty, be fashionable (in an acceptable way) and hear someone saying “wow man, you look great today” or “love those shoes”
Well, then probably you will like this post. No more chat-chat, I’ll show you the latest trends for the coolest average man!
Accessories
Guys, one really really important accessory that should make part of all your outfits during Fall and Winter is THE SCARF! Do never leave home without it! Despite keeping you warm (yeah, yeah boring stuff), it makes you extremely hot! No kidding! It adds the extra “je ne sais quoi” to your look.
And some nice gloves
And a bag
Fall/Winter Average Outfit (H&M)
And look at this… huh… I mean… shorts! Will look nice on the beach. (girls, this one is for you!)
Literally cheesy – As my grandmother would say “Gosh, these guys’ inventions these days…”
Have you ever seen Cheese Pencils? Guess not, huh?
As you know, now it takes a lot more than the average packaging and traditional marketing to sell a product. That’s why marketers and designers are trying hard to get their product to be noticed. This one will definitely call attention on the supermarket shelves. So, give this guys a break!
“The Deli Garage Parmesan Pencils are shaped like oversized pencils, where the leads contain three different flavors: truffles, pesto and chilli. With the built-in grating function you can sprinkle delicious, appetizing flakes of Parmesan cheese on your meal. A scale on the pencils and on the back of the packaging doesn’t just list how much of the Parmesan Pencil is needed for each dish, but it even how many calories the portion contains”
Sounds good and tasty to me, because I fucking adore cheese!
Emily Cummins, 21, came up with a brilliant idea while working on a school project: What if she could invent a solar-powered fridge, which could be used in non-developed countries?
So she did! She developed a portable eco-fridge, that can keep perishable goods cool for days at a temperature around 6ºc.
But the fridge is not just only solar powered, it can also be built from household materials, making it the perfect gadget for Third World countries.
Actually, Emily went to Africa and taught people how to build this eco fridge. So, this invention is already improving thousands of lives.
“A fridge is something that people can’t seem to live without. I wanted to keep it really simple and so I set about researching how we cooled things years ago. The simplest method of cooling something could be seen when you look at how we cool biologically - through sweating or evaporation.” Emily Cummins
“The fridge comprises two cylinders - one inside the other. The inner cylinder is made from metal but the outer cylinder can be made from anything to hand, including wood and plastic.”
Woolmark has a new campaign going on that invites users to post their favorite wool looks into one of twelve “Feelings” categories – from “Happy” to “Dark” moods
Basically you just put on some fancy wool clothes, take a tumblr-high-fashion-style-photo and upload it to Woolmark website. Then the visitors gonna vote for the outfits they love and the most “loved” will get a AUD$ 12.000 (aprox 9.000€) holiday & wool experience. How cool and easy is that?
But this is not over yet, if you decide to vote for your favorite, you can win an “Emu Australia” wool prize pack worth AUD $400 (aprox 300€), because every week there’s a prize for voters.
By the way, I must say that love the fact that Woolmark (Merino) supports environment friendly fashion and go for responsible farming. Also the way “Fashion by feelings” campaign motivates people to show off their eco-outfits with proud, by creating an emotional bond between the fashionistas and product/brand.
Like these concepts? Why don’t you take a look at their website or Facebook page? Who knows, maybe you can win some prize or get some inspirations looking at others’ styles :)
There is some kind of magic in ginger hair. Something that I cannot understand and that maybe can only be explained by my favorite Disney character: my dear ARIEL – the mermaid!
Cool hairstyles
Rihanna is the best example on how to use your ginger hair to the max!
