Weird Product of The Week – Dolores Cooler Messenger Bag

July 8th, 2009 Buzzillions Team No comments

Not so much a weird product as an awesome one. Local company Timbuk2’s Dolores Cooler is a beer cooler disguised as a messenger bag. It’s got a waterproof insulated lining & can hold at least 12 beers, plus ice. Since it has a built in bottle opener & coordinates with the PBR color scheme, we’re willing to overlook the fact that standard Timbuk2 bags are also waterproof & beer friendly.

How to Make a Fluffernutter Sandwich

July 6th, 2009 Angela No comments

Every secret project needs a code name & when project “Fluffernutter” launched on Buzzillions we had to celebrate. Naturally, we made Fluffernutter sandwiches to commemorate the occassion. As an East Coaster, I was alarmed to learn that some of my colleagues had never tried Fluffernutter. If you’ve never had Fluffernutter here’s how to make your own:

Ingredients

lots of Marshmallow Fluff

lots of peanut butter

2 pieces bread (preferably Wonder Bread)

Directions: Liberally spread peanut butter on one slice of bread. Even more liberally spread Marshmallow Fluff onto the other piece of bread. Close sandwich, eat, & enjoy the stickyness.

Weird Product of the Week – All Things Bacon

June 25th, 2009 Angela 1 comment

There are so many weird bacon products on Buzzillions that I couldn’t choose just one.  Something for everyone here:

The Serious Carnivore – Wild Boar Bacon

It’s not overly gamey, but it tastes slightly sweet with an almost bourbon flavor to the meat. I fried my eggs in the leftover fat afterwards…

Astronaut/ Disaster Preparedness Enthusiast – Mountain House Precooked Bacon & Eggs

I suppose the MSG could be partly to blame for how great this bizarre substance tastes, but there is more to it than just that, and it can only be understood by those who understand.

Road Trip Anyone?

June 24th, 2009 Angela No comments

Alan, an account manager on the Buzzillions team, recently got his Honda Element tricked out with a pop-top camper.  Southern California company Ursa Minor converted his SUV into an ECamper complete with 7′x4′ matress and Sunbrella fabric tent panels. Alan claims it’s for camping, but we’re not so sure. After all, it earned the dubious distinction of being the #7 Car You Can Live in After Your Home is Reposessed.  Either way, it’s a pretty awesome vehicle, reminiscent of the VW Westfalia.

Whether you prefer an Ecamper or a traditional tent, we have all the camping gear product reviews you could possibly need here (don’t forget the portable hot tub). If your car needs a tune-up before you hit the road, check out the car part reviews from JC Whitney, our newest Buzzillions partner.

Webcams & Aquariums

June 21st, 2009 Buzzillions Team No comments

The Buzzillions team boasts lots of animal enthusiasts, arguably none more ardent than our QA engineer, Csongor. He has his very own 6 gallon saltwater aquarium at home & a webcam that tracks the underwater shenanigans 24/7. The webcam has become a hit around the office & people regularly check up on the clown fish (Uno), shrimp (Scampi), tropical blue fish (Blue), crab (Mr. Crab), and sea anenome (name TBA) on their iPhones and computers.

Unfortunately, the webcam can only support a few users at a time so it sometimes crashes. Since we don’t want that to happen, here’s the next best thing:
