Aeroshots Gives You A Caffeine High

Posted: 19 Oct 2011 09:58 AM PDT

At least 100mg of caffeine high. No use beating around the bush pretending this is some sort of medicine though. The promotional literature itself states that a single cartridge of caffeine laden Aeroshot is equal to a starbucks coffee and is ideal for nightowls and neurotics. Oh, and people who work hard and need the energy boost.

Silly Labeled Bandages Reveal Your Imaginary Injuries

Posted: 19 Oct 2011 09:50 AM PDT

Bandages, also known in some parts as band aids, are way over rated. Okay, apologies to anyone in the medical profession or bandage fans reading this, but it’s always better to clean a wound first and foremost than instantly stick a bandage on it. Also, bandages suck when the adhesive wears out. They’re puny too, sometimes incapable of keeping gashes or sizable cuts free from dirt. These shortcomings don’t mean bandages aren’t fun. In fact, here is a newfangled spin on the age old band aid that you can call ‘What Happened?’

Twist Minimalist Pencil Sharpener

Posted: 19 Oct 2011 07:36 AM PDT

I am a great fan of any designs that reduce an objects functionality right down to the bare minimum without reducing its usability, and even though this pencil sharpener design has no electronic wizardry like a majority of the gadget and gizmos we feature here on Geeky Gadgets its simple form is definitely a winner in my book.

The Twist is simple stainless steel sheet of metal which has been bent to mimic a pencil shaving, and is equipped with one sharp edge which is carefully hidden under the other non-sharp edge, to stop any unwanted accidents while sharpen your pencil.
