It goes without saying that Wal*Mart can be the dumping ground for slightly off items.

I was in Wal*Mart today - searching unsuccessfully for red velvet Twinkies - and I come across this: a mustacheod Indiana Jones action figure. Perhaps it is just a mistake, or perhaps a rare limited edition reflecting a scene from the recent movie that only appears in the director’s cut. Either way, he looks like the lost member of the Village People or actor Sam Elliott. How much do you think an Indiana Jones with mustache would go for on eBay?

Safetytat.com - Temporary child safety tattoos that have allergy or special needs info, and “if lost, please call ____” tattoos are also available. A brilliant idea that may save lives.

I decided to design Blogadilla’s very own “Adult Safety Tats” (and you can print your own with transfer tattoo paper).

Can’t think of a Father’s Day gift this year?  Well think no more: for just $49.95 you can get dad his very own Uroclub– a cleverly designed, hollowed-out 7-iron, allowing him to pee on the golf course, while no one is the wiser.

Yes, this is for real.  Check out the Uroclub TV commercial, or Keith Olbermann’s coverage of the portable golf-shaped urinal.

As some of you may know: when I’m not engrossed in Blogadilla, I’m a Mesoamerican Archaeology professor (really, no joke). So, I’m all for anything that gets kids intrigued with archaeology . . . even if it’s total bullsh!t.

Stores have been pimping Indiana Jones stuff for almost a month now and I thought it would be time to do yet another round-up of some of the more interesting items.

Of course Hasbro has released a huge line of Indiana Jones action figures, complete with awesome Raiders of the Lost Ark ‘Chachapoyan Idol’ Temple Playset and both young and elderly Indiana Jones figures.

Some cool touches: each action figure comes with a treasure/artifact and with 6 proof of purchase stickers, you can send away for the crystal alien skeleton (which is not available in stores).

And I broke down and bought a box of Kellogg’s Cocoa Krispies (you won, you marketing bastards) for the awesome Indiana Jones light-up spoon - which broadens children’s horizons, teaching them about the ancient Mesoamerican art of luminous spoonery.

Last April, British supermarket chain Tesco removed a model of padded bra from their shelves.

It was designed for 7-to-10-year-olds.

A Tesco representative said:
“It is a product designed for girls at that self-conscious age when they are just developing. It is designed to cover up, not flatter, and was developed after speaking to parents.”

Here are two possible answers to many many questions that come to mind.

And speaking of Indiana Jones - no home is safe from looters and grave robbers without the ancient Mesoamerican booby trap kit: one idol drops plastic spiders on unwary looters, the other shoots darts from its eyes.

Bonus Round: The Chachapoyan Fertility Idol pencil cup and the Ark of the Covenant business card holder.

Miracle Fruit, Miracle Berry, Magic Berry, or Flavor Berry (Synsepalum dulcificum) - a native West African red berry that contains the active glycoprotein miraculin. When consumed, miraculin has an interesting effect on the tastebuds - for as long as an hour after consumption, it causes sour foods to be perceived as sweet.

Though for several years this fruit has been known in Japan, only recently have Americans started enjoying this phenomenon in their own way - “Flavor Tripping Parties.” At these parties, Miracle Fruit and an assortment of sour foods are served (grapefruit, lime, certain cheeses, etc.) to guests as an experimental/novel type of dinner party (video link).

Given the enthusiasm generated by a recent New York Times article on Miracle Fruit, most internet-based Miracle Fruit vendors are currently sold-out.

Super Bonus Round: Grow your own Miracle Fruit (only takes 4-10 years)!

Absinthe is the new bacon. There’s a super hip restaurant in NYC called “Tailor” that serves absinthe gummy bears. They’re 85% absinthe, and sorry to say, I couldn’t figure out a way to pay them to send me some.

Also, absinthe lollypops at Lollyphile.

For more flavor overload, check out a dish at Tailor that’s just called, “Fois Gras, Peanut Butter, Cocoa, Pear“.

(Heywood, I demand that you go there!)
