In Videos: Slow, Painful Death of a Cadbury Creme Egg
Cadbury creme eggs might be gone from drug store sale racks, but don't forget them just yet. As part of Cadbury's Unleash the Goo contest, one runner-up spent six months (yes, half a year) on this complex Rube Goldberg-inspired apparatus, where his egg travels through cups, tight ropes and toilet paper holders before final smooshage. At around 1:30 minutes, there's even a live concert by the always-entertaining, four-piece Smashing Egg Cremes rock band.
Creator Joseph Herscher used 30 hot glue gun sticks and 480 pins to create this homemade whirlwind of a ride. Judging by the ingenious design, he was definitely that kid in high school physics class whose homework you wanted to steal.
