Portable Cardboard Table
Icelandic designer, Liborius Reykjavík, has created an cardboard work-table that can be broken down into a suitcase sized carrier that weighs very little for the table it provides. The table is meant to be reusable and is fairly sturdy. Cool design but I don't see this being used outdoors any time soon. Unless it's weighted down or something. SOURCE

Anti-Energy Drink
Here is an interesting new drink. With all the craze of "energy" drinks lately I guess it was only a matter of time before someone created the polar opposite. This drink contains melatonin, valerian root, and rose hips which enable you to "slow your roll." The drink appears to be based on the cough syrup based recreational drug known as "Purple Drank." I wonder if this is healthy to use as a sleep aid? SOURCE

Papa John's Pizza Advertising
This is an awesome new marketing thing for Papa John's pizza. This brochure actually sticks to your door right below your peephole and provides an optical illusion making it seem as though a pizza guy is already at your door. This is sure to inspire some spontaneous orders. I'm sure whoever came up with this idea is getting a pay raise. SOURCE

Restroom Sound Maker for Privacy
"The Magical Water Princess" is in fact not a princess at all. It is a Japanese restroom accessory that is placed in toilet stalls in Japan in order to make it impossible to hear others using the restroom. The device emits a chirping sound for privacy. It is apparently a major fear of Japanese women to have others hearing them use the restroom. In the 80's women used to flush the toilet multiple times while they were using it in order to cover up the sounds involved. This ended up wasting an insane amount of water and costing restaurants and other public places insane amounts of money. Check out the video below and the link below that for more info on this strange device.
