Cheeto Existential Documentary + Mac and Cheese Candle

The stereotype is that geeks eat unhealthy food, and unfortunately there’s more than a bit of truth to it.  So why not celebrate it with the Cheeto Existential Documentary Fine Art Screen Print by SynapseArtworks ($125.00).  Every Cheeto in a 13.5 oz. bag was traced and rated according to cheesiness, so you can compare cheesiness levels with the next bag you eat.  The Mac and Cheese Unscented Candle by kokocandles ($15.00) looks amazingly delicious and realistic (though I’m not sure it’s a good thing that real mac and cheese is a dead ringer for a wax candle).

Inspired by "V" and "V for Vendetta"

The letter of the day is “V”, with lots of sci-fi and political drama coinciding.  The ABC show V aired recently, a show about aliens who promise to fix all of humanity’s problems…but what’s their real motive?  Today is also Guy Fawkes Day, which conjures memories of V from the Alan Moore graphic novel, V for Vendetta.  With so many “V”s floating around, I was inspired to put together a collage of products that embody the danger and drama of the infamous letter!
