TALKING URINAL CAKES OUT IN FULL FORCE THIS LABOR DAY!
If you have one too many this holiday weekend better watch yourself, in the bathroom. Specifically in the urinal basin. To deter DUIers, some barkeeps are resorting to using the talking Urinal Cake Communicator to issue this gentle reminder [imagine in the voice of a sexy, throaty female.]
"Hey there, big guy. Having a few drinks? It's time to call a cab or ask a sober friend for a ride home."
This revolutionary new toilet technology was developed by Richard Deutsch over at Wizmark. Aside from PSAs, bars and brands can use it as a way to market to their captive male audience. Each motion-activated cake can be customized visually (with your choice of blinking lights), and can include any pre-recorded message.

MAJOR LEAGUE EATING GOING ON THIS LABOR DAY!
If you thought Major League Eating was only reserved for the 4th of July, think again. Granted you won’t see Joey Chestnut and co. scarfing down dogs. However, you might see him eating other things at 1 of the 6 competitive contests going on this Labor Day weekend:
9/4/09 – Kolache Factory World Kolache Eating Championship: A Kolache is a pastry that originated from the Czech republic. Kinda looks like a cross between a prune Danish and a Hamentashen (Jewish cookie with fruit in it). However, these are filled with sausage and cheese. Yum. Prize money up for grabs: 10K. Location: Houston, TX.
9/5/09 – 9/6/09 U.S. Buffalo Wing Eating Championship & Buffet Bowl: A double dose of M.L.E. for Buffalonians. Wings & buffet eating (buffalo staples like chicken fingers, wings, chili dogs, etc.) Will Sonya “The Black Widow” Thomas regain her crown for a 3rd time in a row for both events? Stay tuned. Total purse: $4,300.
9/6/09 - Five Spot's Famous Philly CheeseSteak Fest: Straight out of Brooklyn, NY (if that makes sense). Takes place at Five Spot on Myrtle Ave. Competitors have 10 minutes to chow down on cheesesteaks. Winner gets $1000.
9/7/2009 – Krystal Square Off Qualifier: Krystal Burgers are of Slider stature (a lot like White Castle). This event is open to the Jacksonville, FL public. Winner gets 50K, and an invitation to the Big Beefy Dance on September 27th.
9/07/2009 – Kings Island Skyline Chili Spaghetti Eating Championship: Weird to some, a delicacy to the folks of Ohio. Last year, Humble Bob beat out Joey Chestnut by eating a whopping 13.5 lbs of pasta and chili. Now he’s back for another shot at 5K.
THE GRILL THAT FLOATS ON WATER.
What do you get when you combine lots of alcohol, a flammable substance and a motorized piece of vinyl? Labor day with the BBQ Donut. From Austria (the country that brought you Freudian slips and Pez), comes the grill that floats. The BBQ Donut is essentially a motorized tube boat with a bbq jammed right in the middle. Looks kinda like that Roaring Rapids ride at Great Adventure.
Noteworthy stats include:
- Comfortably seats 12.
- 8 storage compartments.
- Ergonomically-formed seating
- Grill table top
- Grill shield
PLUS, get your BBQ boat branded with logos like McDonalds, Bacardi, Heineken and Audi. Probably an Austrian thing.
