Here’s an interesting way to advertise a detergent: Wrap it in a t-shirt that the postal service will inevitably ruin, and then have the recipient use the product to remove the stains from the shirt packaging.
Brilliant!

…The Sorapot is the perfect teapot?
The Sorapot by Joey Roth has taken the design world by storm by combining an architectural shape and simple functionality into a teapot that “brings tea’s quiet beauty into sharp focus.
It’s made from 304 stainless steel, borosilicate glass (Pyrex), and food-grade silicone for long lasting good looks, and “articulates the ritual of tea making in a thoroughly modern way”.
In addition to good looks, the Sorapot also stays green with a sustainable approach to packaging, including post-consumer recycled cardboard and molded pulp, natural jute rope, and the avoidance of tape or staples. (See TreeHugger for more details on the packaging.)
If you agree that this just might be the perfect teapot, then head on over to the site with &179 in hand, and one can be yours.

…Vodka 360 is an eco luxury alcohol?
If you care about the environment as much as you care about your imbibe-ment, then check out 360 Vodka, which has dubbed itself the world’s first “Eco Luxury Vodka”.
-
360 Vodka is crafted from a philosophy of eco-awareness and corporate responsibility. This ideology is then manifested throughout [their] greener processes and greener products.
Each bottle is quadruple distilled through a highly energy efficient process, and then five times filtered for a great taste.
The packaging is also “green”, with the use of 100% post-consumer waste and chlorine free paper processing.
Are you ready to get drunk for the environment?

…Grand Theft Auto is special?
Usually around the third or fourth iteration of a popular game, the designers decide that there are enough fans to warrant a special collector’s edition.
Though collector’s editions usually filled with a bunch of stuff that no one needs, they’re gobbled up by hard-core fans that want to raise their 1337 level by a few points at the next gaming get-together.
Apparently Grand Theft Auto has reached that point, because with the release of GTAIV coming up, they’ve announced a pre-orderable special edition that comes with a metal safety deposit box, special packaging, an art book with never-before-seen production artwork, a soundtrack CD filled with exclusive material, a Rockstar keychain, and a duffel bag to hold it all. Plus, order through Amazon, and you’ll even get a Liberty City license plate to round out the collection!

…Your iPod packaging can be useful?
The Bird-Electron EZ17-B iPod Recycling Speaker has got to be one of the coolest iPod accessories that I’ve seen in quite some time.
By utilizing the packaging from the 1st & 2nd Gen. iPod Nano or the 2nd & 3rd Gen. iPod Shuffle, you can turn what would normally become garbage into a usable accessory.
The speaker panel simply snaps in place, and then connects to your iPod without the need for an extra power source.
When you’re done, just tuck the wire and the iPod behind the speaker panel, and away you go.
Nifty!
