With fast food joints offering a limited soft drink menu of usually Coke, Diet Coke, Orange, 7up and Root Beer (or their Pepsi “equivalents”) sometimes the only way to keep drink options interesting is with the classic “suicide,” (mixing them all). Well now, Coca Cola is poised to introduce a Fountain Machine that will dispense soft drinks with up to 100 flavor combinations. What’s advantageous to store owners is that they won’t have to redesign their beverage stations to accommodate the new dispenser, as it takes up the same space as current machines offering 8 flavors.

Just when you thought you’ve seen it all where remote control cars are concerned, along ambles the Zero Gravity Micro R/C Car. This device is touted to be extremely maneuverable, and is able to perform gravity-defying moves along the wall. So how does it work then? Well, Zero Gravity Micro features an advanced Venturi suction system that works a bit like a vacuum cleaner. Special fans create massive down-force to keep it glued to the wall whilst flexible skirts around the chassis ensure the vacuum remains sealed. You control the action via a stylish twin toggle infra-red transmitter and the vehicle itself is powered by a rechargeable battery. Simply charge and go.

Disco balls have got to be the ultimate shiny object and this one even has glowing red eyes.  It also even comes in the shape of a spooky skull.  It’d be great to pick up for either this year’s Halloween party or just anytime you’re in the mood for a goth themed dance.  After all the goth kids can’t have just any normal disco ball, it has to be slightly different so as to not get confused as one of the other average joe dances.  The mosaic glass may look the same as it does with every other disco ball, but thanks to glowing eyes and an odd shape it sets itself apart from the rest.
