Popcorn Popper Lamp - Neatorama

Etsy seller Patrick Hoesterey came up with a great, original idea for a household lamp. He built it into an old popcorn popper. He replaced the internal components with a lamp receptacle that powers a 25 watt bulb. Hoesterey selected an orange bulb which, when paired with acrylic chunks, creates the impression that it's about to spill out real popcorn.

What I want to know is...how long does it take to milk a snail for enough goo to fill one of those teeny little bottles?

there used to be lots of ads about this thing in my country. But one day they stopped airing because everyone found out it didn't do anything... plus, it wasn't really from snails.

The best part is the almost painfully obvious photoshop job where the words were put onto the front of an apparently empty jar. . . that ruins the credability for me right there.
