Fork in the Road Classic beverages have a certain form/function coalescence. Makes sense that a bitter shot of espresso (or four) will jolt you into wakefulness; a neon, sugary sports drink will propel your last treadmill mile; and a voluptuous red wine will wash down a plate of hearty braised ribs.

Drank is spiked with melatonin, valerian root and rose hips and comes in a pretty purple can. The press release explains, "every aspect of this calming drink was inspired by today’s popular hip hop artists who embrace the much sought-after hip hop lifestyle that encourages people to capture a stress-free state...

Roll down this hill and you too may be victorious! Photographs courtesy of cheese-rolling-co.uk Leave it to the Brits to come up with an annual event as nuts as Cheese-Rolling: every year on the Monday that corresponds with the American holiday of Memorial Day (Spring Bank Holiday in England), dozens of crazy people line up on a steep slope in Gloucestershire, England and propel themselves head-over-heels downhill, chasing after a wheel of cheese.

Photograph from Gavin Anderson on Flickr Popping up at convenience stores across the country, this $2-per play claw game doesn't catch goofy stuffed animals, but live lobsters. Maneuver the grabber contraption, just like proto versions with inanimate prizes, and attempt lobster wrangling. Love Maine Lobsters Co., the producers of this $15,950 machine, insist that claws are gentle, slow-moving and harmless for the crustaceans, but anybody who's seen Toy Story knows the lime green aliens didn't want to be scooped up. Lobsters likely feel the same way. Crabby Bill's in St. Petersburg, Florida and Dick's Last Resort in San Diego both have one, as do other restaurants and convenience stores sprinkled across the country. Find one quick before the same animal... More
