Home-Delivered Airplane Food Is Actually a Thing in Germany

Posted: 06 Oct 2014 06:08 AM PDT

'Air Food One' is a food delivery service in Germany that exclusively caters to people who happen to love airline food. I'm not sure what's more surprising – that the service exists, or that there are actually people who like the flavorless reheated stuff that is generally passed off as food on an airplane.

Anyway, the service is being provided by a German grocery store in collaboration with the company that makes meals for Lufthansa. It includes weekly home delivery of meals that are supposed to be 'business-class quality'. Apparently, online grocery store Allyouneed.com noticed there was a demand for airplane food from its clients, so it teamed up with airline caterers LSG to satisfy their cravings.

Eyeglasses Designed for Kissing Can Be Worn by Two People at the Same Time

Posted: 06 Oct 2014 05:52 AM PDT

Eyeglasses are the bane of a good kiss, especially if both parties happen to be spectacled. Thankfully, Tokyo-based eyewear company Blinc Vase has come up with a great (albeit weird) solution – 'Kiss Eyeglasses' – specifically designed for those extra-long lip-locking sessions. These two-way glasses consist of a single pair of lenses that can be worn by two people at once.

How is that even possible, you ask? Well, it's simple – the glasses have two pairs of arms facing opposite ways, allowing a couple (who would otherwise be wearing two pairs of specs) to get even closer to each other. Of course, an easier solution would be to just take both pairs off for a specs-free experience. But you have to admit, kiss eyeglasses sound way more fun. This way, even people with the worst eyesight can gaze at their significant other while sharing a kiss.

Spreadable Beer Lets You Enjoy Your Favorite Drink for Breakfast

Posted: 06 Oct 2014 05:43 AM PDT

Beer lovers, rejoice! The world's first spreadable beer – 'Birra Spalmabile' – is a genius Italian invention that allows you to enjoy your favorite beverage early in the day, completely guilt-free. No one can judge you for indulging in this delectable beer-based breakfast spread – just slather the stuff on your toast and crepes, or stuff it in your pastry.

Made of 40 percent beer, Birra Spalmabile is predominantly sweet to taste. The spread comes in two flavors – one light and delicate, and the other with an intense aroma and stronger taste. Both flavors are available for purchase internationally at $51 for a 280-gram jar.

The product is the result of the ingenious collaboration of chocolatier Pietro Napoleone and Emanuela Laurenzi's brewery Alta Quota. Through various chemical processes, they managed to thicken the brewery's Omid dark ale and Greta blond ale to a creamy, smooth consistency.
