Coffee Joulies

Coffee Joulies would come in handy for those of us who’ve ever worked at an office or lived the life of a writer. We swear by our hot morning wakey juice to a degree that borders on sickness. Well, with this product you can be guaranteed that your coffee is always hot enough to drink, but not so hot that you have a case against the folks at McDonald’s. By absorbing heat and then re-dispensing it when the temperature drops, this creation can keep your coffee just right all day long.

With the $95 package you get a set of 5 joulies along with a travel tumbler (logo on the side), a carrying pouch, and guaranteed delivery by Dec. 23 in case there are any coffee drinkers in your family. Coffee Joulies are even more supportive than the Canon Camera Lens Mugs, though a heck of a lot more expensive.…

Dakota Buffalo Company

Real men eat meat. Even realer men eat buffalo meat. But it’s difficult to find, so chow down on it and everyone suspects that maybe, just maybe, you recently shot a buffalo. And who doesn’t want that kind of rep?But the Dakota Buffalo Company makes actually doing that entirely unnecessary. They’ll deliver buffalo meat directly to any door in the continental United States without the need for you to go all Dances With Wolves.

All the standard cuts are available, from the noble filet mignon to the humble burger patty, all made from grass-fed buffalo that is 60-80% leaner than beef and contains no preservatives or hormones. And they cook in about ⅓ the time it takes to cook an equivalent cut of beef, at ⅓ the temperature, so that’s a time and energy savings as well.

Not available: buffalo wings. Apparently they’re not actually the wings of buffaloes. Who knew?

Bacon Candy

Damn, the Bacon Candy folks love their swine. If you follow this company at all–and if you like bacon, then you should be–you would know they’re famous for taking traditional candy products and injecting a nice shot of pig into the recipe.

Remember those red and white striped candies that you didn’t really like, but you still found yourself sucking them down one after the other to get through church service as a kid? Well, the Bacon Candy people make something that looks just like that, but is filled with the smoky taste of bacon.

In addition to this, you can get bacon gumballs, bacon band-aids (don’t worry, ya eat ‘em), and bacon lip balm, among others. Buy some Que’s Barbeque Cologne in the process and smell like what you’re eating. You know you want to.…

Cherkees | Beef Jerky Potato Chips

Yes, it’s finally happened. Someone, most likely a mad genius, has combined two of the most dangerous snack foods known to man into one heart attack in a bag. We present to you Cherkees, an insane combination of beef jerky and potato chips. We have no idea how in the world they made these, and considering the fact that it’s a snack that spits in the face of god!, we don’ want to know. But it does have a few things going for it.

First, consider the fact it’s unlike any other snack out there, showing up to a tailgate party carrying a bag of these bad boys is going to make you the center of attention. At least, for about ten minutes anyway. Add to that the fact that, despite our joking above, they’re actually healthier than normal potato chips – a third of the fat and plenty more protein. Follow that up with a pretty reasonable price – $4.99 plus shipping – and we have a winner here.

Cherkees currently only come in two flavors – Cracked Pepper and Hot Pepper – and is only available via their website. Two more flavors are planned for the “near future” – Teriyaki and Smokehouse flavors.…

Ben & Jerry’s Schweddy Balls

Yup, the ice cream aisle just went R-rated. Ben & Jerry’s has announced a new limited-batch flavor named Schweddy Balls. Inside you’ll find vanilla ice cream loaded with fudge covered rum and milk chocolate malt balls (sounds like a winner to us).

The controversial name is ode to a Saturday Night Live sketch comedy in which Alec Baldwin plays Pete Schweddy, the owner of a holiday bakery who talks about his Schweddy balls — popcorn balls, cheese balls and rum balls.

Yeah, the thought of hearing children running through the grocery store, asking their parents for “Schweddy Balls”… it’s wrong, but we can’t help but laugh.…

Choffy | Brewed Chocolate

If you find yourself constantly craving a daily dose of Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino, this new brew just might be your newest addiction.

Choffy is brewed chocolate made from 100% organic cacao beans, roasted and ground. It’s said to be richer than hot chocolate, a replacement for coffee and caffeine, and even healthy for you. According to the company, the Theobromine and Anandamide found in cacao puts you in a better mood and gives you a non-addictive energy lift without the crash or jitters of caffeine. The product was recently featured on The Dr. Oz Show, so expect to hear a lot more about it in the near future.

And it looks like people haven’t hesitated to get creative with Choffy, as evidenced by the Choffy chocolate mousse featured above. That’s enough to persuade us.…

Dude, Sweet Chocolate

Call this inStash writer old fashioned, simple, or whatever you want, but there are very few things that chocolate should be mixed with. My preferences are dark chocolate and milk chocolate. Caramel and peanut butter may be mixed in on occasion, but the thought of passion fruit, ginger salt, or Indian Rose being thrown into the mix is a tad stomach churning. Nevertheless, I will probably be marching myself on over to the Dude, Sweet Chocolate website come Valentine’s Day and picking up a box of their chocolates for my sweetie.

That woman can down some pretty revolting things. She likes orange and raspberry with her chocolates, for Pete’s sake. But therein lies the greatness of Dude, Sweet Chocolate, one could suppose. They provide choices for their customers. They give you a reference card for those choices, so you don’t end up with a mouthful of sassaparilla or birch bark. And they make some of the most attractive artisan chocolates around. Even I’ll admit they’re pretty sweet works of art. At only $12, why not? As for me, I’ll stick with Beercandy.…

BaconAir | Bacon-Flavored Oxygen Inhaler

Even as I stare at the proof of its existence (they’re currently taking preorders), I cannot believe that it is real. No. I will not believe that it is real. BaconAir, the Bacon-Flavored Oxygen Inhaler. Say it with me. Are you feeling the absurdity now?

Marketed as a solution for fighting diseases, boosting energy, and enhancing sexual performance and many other problems because of the 95% pure Himalayan oxygen it contains, BaconAir could very well be your new best friend. Not only can it do all of the above, but it also brings you that hit of bacon flavor that you just can’t live without. Sounds a bit contradictory doesn’t it? But never fear. BaconAir promises to do away with all of the pesky side effects of bacon ingestion (re: weight gain, sodium overload, lethargic mindset, etc) by simply giving you pure bacon flavor without the calories or fat. Sounds perfectly healthy to me. Where do I sign up?…

Ghost Cube | By Bhut Pepper

Remember when Homer Simpson ate the Guatemalan Insanity Pepper that was so hot it nearly set his face on fire, and sent him into a hallucinatory daze for hours afterwards? Well now you can have that same experience in convenient boxed form.

The Bhut Jolokia, aka “Ghost Pepper”, has been certified by Guiness as the hottest chili pepper on Earth–almost double the heat of its nearest competitor, the Red Savina Habanero. You could melt your face just by looking at it. And it has a way of sneaking up on you, so eating some goes kind of like: “That’s not so bad, I don’t see what all the fuss is… oh there it is… oh boy… oh GOD… WATER! WATER! SOMEBODY BLAST ME WITH A FIRE HOSE!” That’s goooood eatin’.

If you’re brave enough, you can pick it up in the convenient (and hopefully non-flammable) Ghost Cube, a boxed collection that includes one dried ghost chili pepper, a 1 ounce bottle of ghost powder, a 10g tin of ghost pepper flakes, a 1 ounce packet of spicy watermelon candy, and a recipe/fact card. You can have endless fun serving batches of Ghost Burgers at barbecues and watching your guests eating happily–and then clawing at their faces and dunking their heads in the pool.
