Fresh Breath Problems?

Maggi Dawn posted recently on various and sundry tacky Christian novelties. Well, the same people who brought you the wash away your sins soap also have this lovely borderline sacreligious product for sale...

Are the flavors of your last supper lingering too long? Freshen your palate with the miraculous breath-cleansing power of these Last Supper After Dinner Mints. Each collectible, 3" x 1-1/4" x -1/2" (7.6 cm x 3.2 cm x 1.3 cm) tin contains one hundred mints that you can share with your apostles! Thirty-six shrink wrapped tins in each illustrated display box.

In the right circumstances, I could see these figuring into a humorous alt-worship service of some kind. Come to think of it, why does church have to be so solemn all the time? Why couldn't we cut loose a bit with a humorous service? Of course, there's no need to get stupid about it...

Now This...

Oh - My - God

While skimming through Gizmodo, a gadget blog, I happened upon a link to this great article on the ten most dangerous toys of the last fifty years (or so).

Read about the Sky Dancer, the first toy to combine the sparkly femininity of Barbie with the firepower of a bottle rocket.

There's the Cabbage Patch Snacktime dolls that ate kids fingers. Mmm-mmm good.

How about the Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab? You could get away with a lot of stuff in 1951, including selling toys with actual radioactive material.

Or the "Ready, Aim, Choke" of the Battlestar Galactica Missile Launcher.

Oh, why not just read the whole thing...
