Each of these clear plastic bags has a bug printed on it, making anything you put inside look decidedly less appetizing. No one will ever steal your food from the fridge at work again. Also, good for protecting your lunch from bullies at school. Each cardboard box has 24 plastic bags.

Chilean add agency DDB prepared and utilized this dastardly box to seriously freak out apartment dwellers in Santiago, all in the name of ADT, the home security firm. To quote their video:
“To prove residents that anyone could break into their homes unexpectedly.”
What could possibly go wrong?
When not held flat, the boxes pop open to a cube, allowing them to be inserted under doors to lie in wait for the returning home owner. The owner sees the terrifying sight of something that has gotten inside your home without your consent. To compound the brief moment of horror, it bears the slogan “Breaking into your apartment is easier than you think” next to the ADT logo.

Access to clean drinking water is still an uphill fight for many in the world. However, most of the water purifying techniques rely on the grid and are not suitable for regions where it’s difficult to find even the barest of necessity like clean drinking water. SteriPEN Sidewinder is a completely off-grid solution to purify water using a UV-light mechanism.
All you need to do is fill the unit’s one-liter bottle and attach the Sidewinder to it. Then, flip the bottle and Sidewinder upside down and unfold the handle. You may crank until the green LED indicates. The bottle will be available in September for $99.95.

Jelloware re-imagines the concept of drinking, and imparts a new experience in the way it feels, tastes, smells, moves, and is even disposed of. The cups are made entirely out of agar agar and cast in different flavors, such as lemon-basil, ginger-mint, or rosemary-beet. All are specifically designed to compliment a corresponding drink. Jelloware is meant to be thrown into the grass after it is used, as agar agar is a seaweed extract and actually nurtures the growth of plants.
