Geek Item Of The Week

Don't be suprised if, after the purchase of the Pac-man oven mitts, you notice lots of pills missing from the bottles in your medicine cabinet.  Pac-man is, afterall, a pill addict.

 

Pac-Man Oven Mitts

 

We geeks are lucky enough at this point in history to enjoy more cool geeky toys and gadgets than have ever been available to us before.  With the rise of geek culture and its push into the mainstream, we've seen things come out that 20 years or so ago would have only existed in our dreams.  Everything we could possibly imagine has pretty much been made at this point, and almost every room of our homes are filled with goodies of every kind.

 

Notice I did say almost there.  The Kitchen, as it turns out, has been sadly devoid of geeky accoutrements for the most part.  Sure, you can take geeky items and put them in your kitchen (I currently have an AT-AT sitting atop my fridge, guarding my food), but actual geeky kitchen tools that serve specific functions are few and far between.  That's why I'm so stoked to see these Pac-Man oven mitts.  They're the perfect thing to add a little bit of geek to your kitchen, plus they're fully functional and aren't just there for decoration. 

 

Also, while it's not specifically mentioned anywhere in the advertising for the product, I wouldn't be suprised if you could use these oven mitts to eat any ghosts you may have in your house.  That is of course assuming you can find some power pellets first.
