This poster lets you hear what herbs and spices taste like
Don't worry, that's not a typo. You can actually swipe across this poster to hear what a handful of spices sound like. The interactive artwork is the result of a collaboration between the creative agency Grey London and Schwartz, an herb and spice brand. After an illustrator penned the visual for what each of the culinary add-ons might look like, they were assigned individual notes based on taste. For example, cumin is an E flat major and fennel got a higher-pitched F minor.
The spice gun asks, "Do you feel hungry, punk?"
Yeah, it's no Spice Weasel, but we're pretty sure this product concept would feel right at home in an episode of Futurama. That's right kids, it's the spice gun -- a handy device which would allow you to gun down your food in cold-blooded flavor. To use this killer, you'd lock and load the barrel with a selection of your deadliest spices, then simply spin it -- Dirty Harry style -- to switch up ammo. We could go on all day with clever turns of phrase describing how much "kick" this thing has, suggestions that you load it up with radish-piercing bullets, and cautionary messages like, "Never point the spice gun at a steak unless you intend to season it," but we'll spare you the pain. Oh, whoops.[Via Uber-Review]
