Rabbit Style Wine Corkscrew Remover

Wine Insider's purchase I just got my package of two wines from Wine Insiders for signing up with a promotional membership which included a bottle of Monarch Glen 2006 Merlot and Cannery Row Cellars 2006 Chardonnay. Along with these two bottles was a Rabbit Style Corkscrew Remover. For your viewing pleasure here is a video of this fancy tool that anyone who’s had a few bottles to drink could figure out.

Always Uber Absorbent: Feminine Products

Always InfinityI just seen an always commercial on TV which used the word uber to describe a feminine product which women use to prevent the once monthly process from making their day go down hill. The commercial’s exact text reads as follows: “Its finally here. New always Infinity is the first pad with infinicell. An uber absorbent material that can hold 10 times its weight, which means your heavy days are going down. Always Infinity; have a happy period.”

For those of you that do not know, the word uber is commonly used by geeks to describe something of the highest authority or dignity in a determined category. It is actually a german word which can be best described by its wikipedia article. If you’d like more official information, or perhaps a free sample of this uber period pad, check out the Always Infinity official website.
