The Cockeyed Costco Prank.



We've mentioned cockeyed.com before (right here in fact), but if you've never stopped by that site before, you should. It's quite entertaining.

They have a really great section of pranks that always tend towards the absurd. This one in particular involves fake magnetic product labels for nonexistent oddities like "STUFFED ZEBRA", "DVD HELMET", and "INFANT SKULL REPLICA". Several people were involved in this one, and there are many pictures of the results.

Admin note: Unfortunately, looks like the prank has been taken down from the site. I highly recommend checking out their other pranks, however.

Getting Your Bacon's Worth.



If you haven't had a chance to check out www.cockeyed.com, you should check out their entertaining series "How Much Is Inside".

In just shy of 50 adventures, this guy makes a 73 foot long Cheerios necklace, simulates the huge messy puddle an entire human body's content of blood would make, lipsticks up a girls legs almost up to the knee, figures out what kind of suitcase will hold a million dollars, and tapes up an 100 foot long strip of pornographic images down an elementary school hallway. All in the name of science.

And he seems to have a lot of fun doing it.

He comes up with several surprising results. Like working out that a 2-liter bottle of soda contains 2 liters of soda and 4 liters of carbon dioxide. Or that cheap batteries, while they last half as long as brand-name batteries, are actually 3 times as economical by price per hour.

But this one one really suprised me. He weighs out a package of Oscar Meyer bacon bits, and compares it by weight to actual cooked Oscar Meyer bacon. Turns out, bacon bits cost half as much by weight as actual cooked bacon.

For some reason, I always thought it would be the other way around. Weird.
