Oh No They Didn’t With the Mouse

Posted on by

cone_mouse_layout

Take everything you know about the computer mouse, crumple it up, set it on fire and toss it out the window. Now, meet, Cone. This twist on the design is a whole lot more aesthetically appealing if not entirely more ergonomic than the traditional mouse.

Its upright, pointed form is a total wrist saver. It instantaneously positions your hand, arm, and fingers in a natural position that reduces strain on the metatarsals and upper hand by allowing a portion of the weight to be distributed across the conical surface. The buttons are articulated in such a way that the fingers can curl naturally and click with ease. Better yet, the all-new design is interchangeable for users with both right and left dominant hands.

It’s Almost Like They Want You to Slip: Banana-Shaped Caution Cones

Banana-Shaped Caution Cones

Making caution cones and signs a whole lot more interesting are the fine folks from Banana Products. You see, they’ve taken the conventional yellow cones that warn passersby about slippery floors and turned it into something far more eye catching: a gigantic banana peel. The irony and humor is not lost on us.

The Banana Cones are made from high quality polypropylene and have the warning message printed on all four sides in black and red print.

Now this is doing signs right. The Banana Cones are available in sets of three from Amazon, or you can get one from eBay for $47.

Clean Hands, Happy Tummies: Pizza in a Cone

Posted on by

Eating a slice of pizza on the go isn’t the neatest option on the menu. But it’s technically a quick meal on the go, and if you’ve gotta eat, you gotta eat.

Aiming to make eating pizza less of a mess is KonoPizza.

Pizza ConeWith over 130 locations worldwide, KonoPizza serves up pizza in a cone in all sorts of outrageous flavors, including the likes of Tiramisu pizza that’s filled with cream, biscuit and coffee syrup. There’s also the breakfast-in-a-cone pizza called Pancetta Prima that’s filled with eggs, bacon, and cheese. If you’re not as adventurous, you can go for the usual pizza toppings as your cone fillings, like cheese, sausage, and ham. Plus, each KonoPizza is portion-controlled, so they’re actually pretty low in calories and fat.

So far, there are only a couple of U.S. locations of Kono Pizza, including one in Edison, New Jersey, and another opening very soon in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Mmm-hmm!

Traffic Cone Salt and Pepper Shakers are No Accident

Posted on by

I don’t know about you guys, but I have more salt and pepper shakers than I really should have in my house. But it’s stuff like this that makes me add to my collection of offbeat shakers with no end in sight.

Designed by Labyrinth, these salt and pepper shakers are made up to look like those annoying traffic cones that always seem to be right in the middle of the lane you just moved into – or in the parking space you were about to take. At least when you knock these over, you won’t risk damaging the undercarriage of your car – but you might end up with some bad luck if you tip the salt over. Spilt pepper, on the other hand, will just make you sneeze.

Each traffic cone shaker measures about 4-inches-tall, and they come in a nice box perfect for gift-giving. The pair sells for $32 to $37(USD) over at the designboom shop, depending on whether you live in Europe or elsewhere around the globe.

Death Star Dog Cone: I Have a Very Bad Feeling About This

Posted on by

This Death Star dog will be the ultimate power in the universe. Just toss it a biscuit and rub it on the back (or the belly) and it will fire on the planet of your choice. Unless it spots a cat, in which case, you had better chase your Death Star down before you lose it.

This cute dog’s name is Musha, who just had some minor surgery and so had to have one of those humiliating cones around it’s neck. Since Musha’s owner is a very imaginative geek, they decided to make her cone into a walking Death Star.

It didn’t take an Imperial fleet working around the clock with Vader and the Emperor nagging them either. Instead it was accomplished with just a Sharpie. It looks amazingly awesome. Great work. Good dog.
