This is ingenious.

mcdonalds needs to do this

WHAT

okay but I’m actually really scared that the lid of the drink is going to come off or something

//the way this works is that it stops about 2 inches above the top (the hole only big enough to go that far without ripping) so you wouldn’t have to worry about the lid coming off!

it’s really a brilliant idea. it cuts down on the amount of materials used, and space it takes up. all around good engineering.

eleventheleven:

Content application for ipad, which allows digital text reading - a transformation from the printed content to digital media. The app will allow exploring and experiencing the world of insects in a new interactive way. The core of the app is its search possibilities, which use new search values that the printed book cannot provide us with. Through this new way of exploring, along with departing from the existing catalog conventions new intersections and contexts will be revealed among different insects.”

Water-Activated Sprout Pencil

“What if instead of throwing your pencil stubs away you could plant them and have them grow into something delicious, beautiful, and fun? What if pencils could grow?

Sprout is a high quality cedar pencil with a water-activated seed capsule at the tip. When the seed capsule is exposed to moisture it begins to degrade, releasing the seed within Sprout and starting its germination. You can leave the pencil in the soil as a helpful planting label, or pull it out. You can plant Sprout wherever you like, though we recommend an area that gets plenty of sunlight.”
