File this under: I didn’t know I needed it until now.
If your refrigerator is constantly overflowing, these magnets can help you free up some space. Yes, magnets.
The BottleLoft is a strip of three super strong magnets that sticks to the ceiling of your fridge with an equally strong adhesive. It’s intended to hold bottles aloft, opening up space on the shelf for your non-magnetic food and drinks.
The magnet is apparently super strong—a reviewer said that he found a Facebook video that shows a BottleLoft holding up a ten-pound weight. (I couldn’t find that video, but you can watch their promotional video below.) Read more…

The thought of consuming 82 nuggets when you’re a kid seems like a dream. It would be like a gift bestowed upon you from above.

Robby Kalland, a sports writer for UpRoxx, decided to document his crazy journey of devouring 82 nuggets on Twitter on Tuesday. He wanted to eat one more nugget than Kobe Bryan’t highest scoring game in the NBA and even wrote passionately about his journey. Read more…

Skipping Starbucks and its line in the morning initially seemed like a time-saver — until you realize your home coffee maker produces java as hot as lava and you have to wait ten minutes anyway. Isn’t this supposed to be the future?
Though multiple temperature-adjusting mugs are out there, a Kickstarter campaign claims that theirs works the fastest and keeps the perfect temperature the longest: meet Thero.
According to the Kickstarter listing, most coffee is poured at 180-200 degrees — ouch. While traditional insulated mugs keep coffee at this temperature for hours, Thero is made of a fancy phase change material that apparently absorbs the extra heat in two minutes, stops this process at the “perfect” temperature of 140 degrees, and keeps it that way for five to six hours. Because getting to the bottom of your cup and sipping cold coffee is not delicious. Read more…
