The Golden Ticket: Strange & Unique Products in Gold

Holy Willy Wonka golden goose egg, Batman! Want to go for a sauna? Come on, you gotta be sore - and cold! - from battling Mr. Freeze and ziplining 700 yards on one arm back to the Batcave!

Even if you're not into saunas, you have to admit Swedish design studio Bigert & Bergstrom's Solar Egg is a showstopper. Made of stainless golden mirror sheeting and set amidst the snow-draped hills of Kiruna, Sweden's northernmost town, the piece looks like a taunting mirage, but is in fact a real, functional place of warmth and relaxation. And, B&B hopes, a pillar of reflection and community for the people of Kiruna.

In what looks to be a groundbreaking collaboration between DJ Khaled and Leisure Suit Larry, 24K Gold rolling papers aim to lavish even more luxury and class onto the process of getting high, polishing off a 16" Meat Lovers deep dish solo, and taking a 90-minute snooze on the floor with my buddy's Australian cattle dog at 3 in the afternoon. Shine puts in best when they say, "24K Gold creates the ultimate party atmosphere."

After an unfortunate experiment with foil wrapping paper I was told I cannot pull off gold teeth. However, having used a Nano-b for about a week now, I am pretty certain I can pull off a gold toothbrush. Or rather, the toothbrush can pull off me.

Nano-b Charcoal & Gold Toothbrush bristles have been infused with real charcoal and gold dust, not just because that sounds cool, but also because bamboo charcoal pull toxins and impurities from the surface of your teeth as you brush, and gold nano-particles kill bacteria in your mouth, as well as on the toothbrush itself. That means Nano-b will help prevent bacterial growth when your brush is a sitting duck - in the bathroom, in hotels, in transit during travels - as well as wipe out the culprits of bad breath as it swims around your tongue and gums.

In conceiving their one-handed Champagne gun, Bubbly Blaster must have asked themselves, "What would Han do?" Or maybe they saw if Industries' Han Solo DL-44 Blaster Flask prototype, and decided they could do one better than a flask. And a prototype.

So now we have the Bubbly Blaster, a party-ready shooter of the Champagne that requires just one hand and one 750mL bottle of your favorite sparkling wine.

Life testing your limits? KCUF it and expand them to 9' of 550-pound US Military paracord in seconds. The breaking strength can assist with anything from tying down your gear during a windstorm to tying up the bad guys during a shitstorm. Maker Alpha Rebel also approves of using of KCUFs to "get creative" with your girlfriend, and will replace the cord for life no matter how or how many times you disengage it from the bracelet hardware for survivalist or James Bond(age) activities.

Alpha Rebel makes KCUFs (pronounced "cuffs") for men who want to be at the ready without looking like they work at the local outdoors superstore. This bracelet comes coiled and latched with 24K gold-plated bracelet hardware. The cords' all-weather nylon construction has MIL-C 5040 certification and is resistant to mold, mildew, stains, and discoloration.
