You know that fake glass made of sugar that they make slapstick windows out of, for movies? My terrible idea is you could make spoons out of it. Then you break the spoons and use the wee crystals to torch atop a creme brulee. Then you give them another one of the spoons to eat it with, so they are breaking their broken sugar spoons with another sugar spoon. That's really a terrible idea.

It's very much in the tradition of the bowl in a taco salad being a taco shell, meaning you can consume your meal without any waste (use your sleeve for a napkin.)
I also like it because it sounds like something John Amos' character in Die Hard 2 would've come up with had he been a chef and not a **SPOILER** terrorist turncoat welding a mean icicle.

SHOWER CURTAIN IDEAS, PATENTS PENDINGS
* Shower curtain smells like strawberries or roses or THE OCEAN whenever water hits it.
* Shower curtain glows in the dark.
* Shower curtain works like old Hypercolor shirts, changing color when wet or touched. Play on it like those new Microsoft touchscreens.
* Shower curtain with waterproof iPod pocket. (Waterproof hairnet sold separately.)
* Shower curtain with girls (or guys) that take their tops off when it gets warm, like novelty inkpens and shot glasses.

The glow-in-the-dark shower curtain is a substitute for a night light. It saves up daylight and lamplight all day long, and then at three in the morning when you go take a pee, you've got a 48 sq. ft NIGHTLIGHT guiding you to the can.

that's a clever idea, PP, but I fear that in my half-awake state I'd mistake your invention for the door of a SPACESHIP, and by the time I climbed aboard and turned the "liftoff" knob, I'd've sealed my fate as the poor schmuck who drowned in his dimly-lit shower at three o'clock in the morning. no one would know my true story, my story of taking a wrong turn while en route to Planet Bumshaq-3, whereupon I passed through a wormhole and crash-landed on a white dwarf star which turned out to be populated by all my dead relatives (& also turned out to be God).
I've had this problem before with regular shower curtains, but, y'know, the glowy nightlight shit just makes it that much more embarassing.

I once made flyers for my relatively non-threatening-sounding alt country band using disturbing childrens drawings I had found on a website about children of divorce. They were all kind of in poor taste, but one of them was this incredibly creepy drawing of a house, where, in the yard stood a single tree with a noose hanging from it and an empty chair beneath.

It's an innovative marketing strategy where the jingle is recorded in hundreds of different styles and then microtargeted to each consumer. For example, Geir's jingle is like 70s genesis, whereas Hi Dere's version is sung by Fever Ray and comes with a video animated by Max.
