Did you get a boo-boo on your finger? Don’t be normal and wrap it in an ordinary Band-Aid. Instead, be a surrealist and protect your cuts and scrapes with a slice of pizza. No silly, not actual searing hot pizza. That would just burn your fingers. I’m talking about these bandages that look like pizza.
GamaGo’s whimsical Pizza Bandages look like tiny slices of pepperoni pizza, each with just the perfect amount of meat and cheese to dress your wounds. They’re actually made from a latex-free, sterile material with a small gauze pad inside, so they work just like regular bandages – only they’re triangular. I suppose if you’ve got a really weird grouping of cuts, you could arrange multiple slices to form a complete pizza pie.
You can order up a hot and fresh box of Pizza Bandages over at Entertainment Earth for just $5.

Bacteria that can shrug off antibiotics is a medical problem that still needs answering, but this prototype could help reduce how much antibiotics are used on patients, and decrease the chances for bugs to become resistant. The experimental bandage f...
