Rambo Pencil Eraser I couldn’t pass up on this gem. Close your eyes and picture a little kid using this as a pencil eraser. I don’t know about you, but a few things come to my mind: #1) This little kid is bad ass. #2) He’s got a half-naked man holding a knife and a missile launcher on his pencil. #3) Nobody is going to mess with him. #4) For a kids pencil eraser, the pencil sure is sticking in an adulty place. #5) Seeing that the eraser is twice the pencils size and ten times it’s weight, how the heck is this kindergartener able to hold his pencil up efficiently?

BBQ Chips Packaging Looking like an oversized pack of baseball cards, this waxed, vintage potato chip packaging makes me smile. The artwork is so simple yet effective that it makes me want to have a BBQ party of my own. Great color choice, typography and geez—at ten cents you can’t beat it! Come to think of it, I bet the color of the packaging is a small glimpse into the bowel-y future.

Revenge Toilet Paper During the build out and grand opening of Johnny Cupcakes Los Angeles, I was temporarily living at the Roosevelt Hotel. As a treat, I flew out my friends, family and employees from back home and also got them rooms at this neat-o hotel. While a couple of pals were sharing one of the rooms, I snuck in and replaced their toilet paper with Revenge Toilet Paper. Don’t worry—it wasn’t poison ivy TP—but rather un-wipeable, rough TP that does not tear at all. Most of the day went by and I didn’t hear anyone talk about it, until my friend Sherry shared her story about going to the bathroom. She admitted that she had to use a tan towel that was hanging up. In the saddest voice, my friend/designer Clark quivered the words, “Wait…that’s my towel.”
