  1. Second Poster

  9. bayilik

    Very fantastic and funny… I liked TABLE and HOT much

  10. Cory

    i think more than half of these have been mentioned in previous articles, but they still blow my mind nonetheless.

  11. Reilly

    The milk one is cute, but it seems impracticable. It wouldn’t hold that much milk in it at all.

  12. Final

    i don’t think the table table is useful. so wad are you going to do with the a,b,l,e?

  13. abhi

    love it. For some reason I can’t get over that milk carton. Genius.

  14. hallowe'en flavr

    the periodic table is genius. but that chair makes me want to vomit. i love the radio!

  15. alext

    the milk carton *looks* great, but I can’t help but be the one to think of functionality… do you even realize how difficult it would be to get that last bit out? like one of those ball table mazes (you know those are hard).

  16. Eddie from Ohio

    I think the chair is cool, and the periodic table. Why, the others? Farcical product semantics.

  17. .

    I love the ‘Table’ table.

    Final, all the other letters look like the right size and proportions to be seating. I think the ‘b’ would work as a bench on one side. The like the ‘l’ and ‘e’ looked joined, and would work as a bench on the other side. The a could easily be a chair at one end. Voila, seating for 5!

  18. Scirocco

    Very fantastic and funny…

  19. Fresh

    Periodic Table table and Fruit fruit juice packaging are both wins!

  20. JC
