What a wonderful world that would be, right? With Mr Wonka’s passion for all things sweet and magical, it could be a kid’s dream come true. Not that you’d necessarily want your home or office decorated by Mr Wonka, but if some Wonka-like touches here and there appeal, you might want to check these out…
Ice cream lamps. Sure, why not? They come in a delicious range of colours and are over two feet high. They come with a bulb, but you will need to resist the urge to lick the giant soft-serve (even if the cone is marked ‘Safe-T Cup’) as I don’t want you getting zapped.
Or how about a cupcake cushion? With coloured sprinkles. It looks really cool in this picture, but I should warn you that there was another picture of it on a lounge…where it looked like a squished old piece of cupcake, rather than a fresh and tasty treat. You’ve been warned.
And if you want to listen to some sweet tunes while reclining on your cupcake on a lazy Sunday, you might like these Gummy Bear Earbuds. They’re scented. Uh huh. It does seem a little bit wrong, especially if your Grandma ever told you not to stick jellies in your ears. Although these are attached to a cord, so I guess it’s ok.
This one isn’t in keeping with the dessert theme, but Willy was a fan of messing with people’s heads via distorted sizes and shapes, so I think he’d approve. And I am tipping he liked his caffeine (amongst other things) to keep him so perky. For you, or perhaps to prop up that guy in the office who always seems to be sleeping, I present the giant coffee cup. It can hold 20 cups of coffee. But I am not suggesting that you drink them all at once. (Unless you record it and put it on You Tube.)
Whether you’re looking for a gift or something to make your home a little bit Wonka, you can check out all of these things, and a bzillion more, at fredflare.
I think I’d include this pic just because I love it, even if the machine featured in it wasn’t possibly one of the most amazing inventions of our time. But it is one of the most amazing inventions of our time. It is…drumroll, please…an ATM. Blah blah, you say – who cares about another ATM – even if it is a pretty colour. But this is different. This is – wait for it – an ATM FOR CUPCAKES. According to CNN.com, Sprinkles (a gourmet cupcake chain with outlets across the US) will open its first 24-hour cupcake vending machine next week in Beverly Hills. Forget the celebrities, Peach Pit diner and Pretty Woman hangouts, there is no better reason to visit Beverly Hills. And by the end of the year, there’ll be more Sprinkles automatic cupcake machines across America. If you love cupcakes like I do, I’m sure you’ll agree that this is indeed a marvel that needs to be recognised and celebrated – I’m thinking Nobel Prize, some sort of special award from Harvard or, at the very least, a Kardashian endorsement.
