SNACTIV, The Multitasking Snacking Tool of the Future

Posted on by

SNACTIV is a gadget consisting of a small pair of chopsticks that sit above your index and middle fingers, allowing you to grab chips or Cheetos, or any other small snack without getting your fingers dirty. It’s billed as “the multi-tasking snacking tool of the future.” Is it a future I want to be part of? I’m not so sure.

Similar in concept to Chip Fingers but unnecessary to remove between snacks, SNACTIV is currently an already-funded Kickstarter project (and surprisingly not an SNL parody product), and $19 will get you a SNACTIV in either black or white. Obviously, I plan on wearing one on each hand for double-fisted snacking.

The idea is that by not touching your snacks directly, you’re preventing the migration of Cheetos or chip dust from your fingertips to your keyboard or another device. Now, I’m not sure if you can tell from looking at my keyboard, but that is not a problem I’ve ever cared about. The disgustingness has just always been another layer of computer security as far as I’m concerned.

Keep Cheetos Dust off Your Fingertips with Chip Fingers

Posted on by

If there’s one thing you can count on when you eat Cheetos, it’s that you’ll have orange cheese dust all over your fingers and anything they touch. So what’s a neat freak to do when it’s snack time? Chip Fingers to the rescue!

You know those silly fingerless gloves that were all the rage thanks to Madonna back in the 1980s? Well, Chip Fingers are basically what they did with all of the fingertips they cut off those gloves. Except these are made out of food-grade silicone instead of non-food-grade black lace. They come in a set of three, so you can grip your Cheetos without worry about your fingers turning orange. They work equally well with Doritos and other messy snack foods. You can grab a set for about 15 bucks on Amazon (affiliate link).

Also, did you know that Cheetos aren’t even orange because of the cheese? Nope. They get their trademark orange hue thanks to a petroleum-derived artificial color called FD&C Yellow 6, aka Sunset Yellow FCF. I learned that from a college research paper, I kid you not.

FunkO’s Cereal Has the Coolest Toys in the Box

Posted on by

Back in the day, the thing to do early on a Saturday morning was eat a huge bowl of sugary cereal and watch cartoons. I tended to choose my cereal at the store not based on taste, and certainly not on its nutritional value, but on the cool factor of the toy promised inside. In other words, I’d have totally bought FunkO’s cereal.

Each box of the colorful cereal has Funko Pop! action figures inside. The flavors aren’t noted, but I would assume the red cereal tastes like strawberry, the green tastes like apple, and the blue tastes like blueberry. Or I could be totally wrong. Each cereal is designed to change the color of the milk it’s floating in too.

In addition to Funko’s own mascot, the cereal can be had in Cuphead & Mugman, Megaman, Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Gollum varieties. Other cereals will come later this year. How much they cost and where can you buy them is the next question.

These Star Wars Heads Barf Snacks

Posted on by

Over the past four plus decades, we’ve seen more than our fair share of strange Star Wars merch, from air purifiers to soup cans, to pepper mills. The latest in that long line of weird products – Darth Vader and Stormtrooper snack servers.

These desktop helmets feature a mechanism which doles out a handful of snacks when you place your hand in front of them. As you can see from the video below, they also speak lines from the movies as the puke out some bar snacks. In this case, they’re serving up some persimmon seeds.

The Darth and Stormy dispensers are being made by Japan’s TakaraTomy A.R.T.S. and are expected to sell for about $75 when they drop this November.

Play the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. Soundtrack from a Dorito Bag

Posted on by

So, what pairs well with the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 soundtrack? If you said Doritos, you’d be right. The snack chip maker is teaming up with Marvel Studios to promote the movie in a very cool way.


They have created a limited-edition series of Doritos bags with a built-in, rechargeable cassette deck-inspired player that plays the movie’s full soundtrack. Feel free to eat the entire bag while feeding your mind with some great tunes. The soundtrack has 14-songs from the ’60s and ’70s, from artists like Fleetwood Mac, George Harrison, Cheap Trick and a new track by The Sneepers and David Hasselhoff.

You’ll be able to pick up this limited-edition Guardians Doritos bag on April 28th through Amazon. No word yet on the price. They surely won’t last long.

Spreadable Coffee: Chock Full O’ Nutella?

Posted on by

There is always something bizarre to eat coming out of Japan. Boy, that sounded weird. If you like coffee, Japan may have the next snack for you to drool over. The treat is from Snow Brand Milk and is a spreadable version of the company’s coffee.

Apparently, the company’s coffee drinks are very creamy and sweet so it might make for a good spread to rival Nutella and peanut butter. The same brand launched another edible coffee treat a few years back. That original was a coffee pudding with a creamy topping, coffee middle, and caramel sauce bottom.

I want to like coffee, but I just can’t stand the stuff. I get my caffeine intake via Diet Dr. Pepper.
