This collection of tea came in four jars. We don't know how big the jars are, but judging from the view from above, they are apparently more than was needed for the amount of tea contained within.

Notice these two bottles. The one on the left, presumably the newer one, says "bigger size better value." Not that you could tell a difference in the bottle sizes by looking, just a slightly different shape. At the bottom, however, you notice the "bigger size" bottle has only 15 ounces, whereas the older bottle has 18! This kind of disappointing packaging happens with all kinds of products. You'll see a huge gallery of such anger-provoking packaging at Bored Panda.

Suave, Nexxus and Tresemme still test their products on animals. All 3 brands are owned by Unilever. Unilever's plastic packaging is one of the top contributors to the floating garbage patch in the Pacific. Ask Greenpeace, they can tell you all about Unilever's devastating effect on our oceans.

One of the things I like about living in Sweden is that everything in the store is labeled with a "jämförpris" - a comparison price. In this case it would be dollars/ounce. For things that don't go bad, and where size doesn't matter much, like shampoo for the home shower, I'll pick based on that price rather than the total. I tried to do that in the US, but my mental math skills aren't that good, and it's awkward to pull up a calculator to figure it out for everything.

This is pretty awesome. The Youtube link led me to the Criss Angel one, which I kind of like better. It's less like a vaudeville act, I think. Maybe I just like Criss Angel's style more. XD

There is a sort of hidden camera horror show called room 401. They perform illusions to freak out unsuspecting targets. They used this illusion in an ice factory, two guys were hired to load ice into trucks and witnessed an ice carver saw his fellow employee in half.

I heard the way they do this illusion is with a contortionist and a person without legs or pelvis, a rare disease called sacral agenesis. Pretty crazy when you see it for the first time though!

I like this version better then Criss Angel, Criss claim this his version had never been done that way before ...

Johnny Eck & Rajah Raboid did it this way in the 30's

Criss Angel reminds me of an annoying dorky kid who wanted to hang out with the goths who work at cinnabun, but they just kept teasing him...so, he decided to learn some magic, which only made him more annoying. So to save his ego, he decided that everyone was just jealous of him. Then he got a tv show. The end.

This version is definately better than Criss Angel, mainly because these guys do it in a fun, non-serious way. Makes it all the more impressive when they are not trying to make their tricks look "real" by shocking the audience.
