Pizza Hut Launches Box That Turns Into A Projector
We’re not sure who is coming up with marketing ideas at Pizza Hut, or even if it’s all the same person, but we’re impressed.

Sketchbook Made From Synthetic Skin For Tattoo Artists To Practice On
Everyone has to start somewhere, but when it comes to tattoos, you’d hope your artist wouldn’t start on you.

This Restaurant Lets People Trade Their Crappy Gifts for a Gift Card
It happens every year. It’s true that the thought behind the present matters the most, but some are just so bad or so ugly that the gift itself has no true value in your life. (In short, you’ll never use it, wear it, or display it around your house.) With this in mind, Houlihan’s Restaurant put…

What the French Fry: Burger King Gives Free ‘Wi-Fry’ to Promote New ‘Satisfries’
Burger King is leaving giant crinkle fries all over New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago in a grand attempt to promote their new reduced-fat fries called “Satisfries.” The pun doesn’t end there.
