It haunts you with its sad, droopy, suffering-rich eyes. Photograph from o-no-co.com The sushi-inspired vinyl toys from O-No Food Company feature two sad tentacled creatures whose limbs have been cut off for your sushi-eating pleasure. They're kind of cute and kind of...really sad. To be more specific, each one contains 176g of sadness, according to their nutritional facts. Designed by artist Andrew Bell, these toys are based off his print "Never Look Back." [via notcot.org] Related: Do Not Eat These Monsters...

Photo from GadgetDude on FlickrNot because they're choking hazards, and not because they're a commercial gimmick—one official wants to stop fast-food toys because they're making kids fat. Concerned about rising rates of childhood obesity in his country, Brazilian federal prosecutor Marcio Schusterschitz petitioned a judge to ban fast-food outlets from giving away toys with kids' meals. As Reuters reports, he contends that including these toys gives kids extra incentive to eat unhealthy food: "It is necessary to remove toys that are used to leverage the sale of food that has little nutritional value," his official statement reads. What do you think? Do kids' meal toys train children to prefer junk food? Or are they just a harmless bit of extra...

Internal organs never ranked particularly high on my “cute” list, but these little guys are hard to resist. I Heart Guts has a whole line of cuddly plush body parts—like the adorable tummy ($18) at right. Odds are, Serious Eaters don’t need a reminder to love their stomachs, but this makes it even easier. (Even if there's something existentially weird about snuggling with organs.) And there are T-shirts ($24), too!...

How has the planet gone this long without a noodle waterslide? I’ve been eating noodles from plain old bowls for decades quite happily. But now that I’ve seen this noodle waterslide by the Japanese toymaker Bandai, I can’t imagine a world without one. The contraption is designed for thin, delicate wheat noodles called somen. During the summer in Japan, many restaurants actually serve nagashi somen, or “flowing noodles.” They set up a long bamboo chute running across the dining room; noodles flow through that channel in an icy water bath for hungry diners to fish out and enjoy. So Bandai asked the obvious question—what if that stream were a waterslide?—and gave us the answer. Here, the noodles emerge from a...

The Bubble Buddy is marketed as a toy for dogs, but considering that its bubble solutions come in bacon, peanut butter, and barbecue chicken-scented versions, I wouldn't be surprised if some humans would also enjoy this toy (besides that dogs don't seem to love it that much). Of course, you can skip the bubble blowing toy and go straight for the bubble solution. [via Geekologie]...

Plastic-block mastermind Martin Jaspers has crafted a rotisserie oven from Legos. It even lights up and spins the chickens. I don't know about you, but when I was a kid, we didn't have all these fancy pieces. We had to make do with mundane strips and blocks and the occasional spaceship canopy from a Lego space set. Video of the oven in action, after the jump....

Haminal is an adorable canned ham animal that combines the goodness of guinea pig, hamster, and ham in the form of a pink, rectangular canned ham plush toy. Visit the Hanimal store or Rocketfist to get your own can of joy. It even comes with its own pineapple ring! Not sure how to get the sushi version though.
