Coffin Cutlery Caddy
Happy Halloween! When I started to look for Halloween themed cutlery I was expecting to find skeleton forks or something, but this was an unexpected find. The perfect container for the orange and black plastic flatware at your child’s party. And if you are into that scene then it’s handy year round. Don’t forget that to some people everyday is Halloween. And more importantly remember that it’s still cool to eat your chocolate bar with a fork and knife.
Unica Home – C2 from Mono
Unica Home is a nice retail site for everything you might need in your home. OK, maybe not need, more like want. Bonnie and Hugh run the website out of Las Vegas and have an eye for the unique. Eveything from black skull plateware to toy cars. The pictured cutlery is “C2 from Mono” which has an amusing way of letting you tell your server whether you want meat or fish. Go take a look.
McDonald’s coffee spoon
The McDonald’s coffee spoon has a sordid past and solid ending. Am I the only one who remembers these? It seems that this icon of the 80s has slipped away and no one noticed. They were flimsy and completely useless for stirring your coffee as it was. The other use seems ridiculous looking back now.
