Gargoyle observes 1st Ave and 66th St in NYC (Taken with instagram)
Mashable reports that a group of scientists at MIT have solved “one of the more vexing problems of our time.” What is that problem? The ol’ ketchup-stuck-in-the-bottle problem. No longer must we use our knives to loosen the ketchup from its glass lair, no more will we smack the bottle until our hands ache.
It’s called Liquiglide, an FDA-approved substance that, when used to coat the inside of a condiment bottle, makes the goopy liquid inside slide right out. Mashable says this could save the condiment industry a million tons of waste each year. Just think of all the mayo and ketchup that will end up on your food instead of in the trash!
The miracles of modern science never cease to amaze…
Actually the team that developed Liquiglide is also thinking of other, perhaps more practical uses for their invention, like coating windshields and pipes.
Mai Tai cocktail at PKNY = tiki bar awesomeness!
I thought I knew what a tiki bar was, but a visit to PKNY in New York’s Lower East Side changed my mind. If you’ve never had a rum-basil tiki cocktail served in a frozen, hollowed-out pineapple with a plastic flamingo sticking out of it, you’re seriously missing out!
