This Avocado Stick Got the Internet VERY Excited… Even Though It’s Not Real
Have you ever been frustrated that your favorite foods aren’t available in the form of a stick that looks like deodorant? Well, turn that frown upside-down!
These days, it seems everyone is a devotee at the Altar of the Avocado, but could this particular idea be just a tad on the extreme side?
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you “Avocado on a Stick.”
Every millennial loves avocado toast! Now make your favorite snack faster than ever at home or on the go…on a stick! #unnecessaryinventionsSome of the responses on Facebook:
“I love avocado, however this is repulsive.”
“If only Mother Nature gave avocado it’s own packaging. Oh wait she does and it takes like five seconds to open it this takes laziness to another level.”
“I ain’t eating this. It probably taste like Degree.”
One side note: Avocado on a Stick ISN’T REAL. In fact, none of the hilarious and ridiculous products featured by Unnecessary Inventions are real. Which makes the fact that people got grossed out and totally annoyed that much better.
No matter how you slice it, I don’t think having any kind of food come out of a receptacle like this is a good idea. Do you agree?
But for a fun time, let’s see this baby in action.
I’m pretty open-minded, but I just don’t think I can get past this…and I’m willing to bet someone will actually make this product sooner or later.
Pass the deodorant! I mean, the avocado stick…
Feeling hungry now?

Epic Twitter Thread Reverses the Roles of Women and Men Throughout History. This Is a Must-Read
Twitter is a place full of strange and interesting things. While it’s usually a place for random, funny thoughts and memes, there are also threads like this one that actually make you think.
Author A.R. Moxon recently posted an epic Twitter thread where he laid out an alternate history and future where the roles of men and women have been reversed. Moxon’s thread makes it abundantly clear that although women have made a lot of headway in recent years, we still have a long way to go and history has been one-sided in terms of power, to say the least.
Here’s the tweet that started the conversation. Let it sink in…
Try to imagine men’s reactions, if it was known for a fact the next 45 presidents would be women, and after those 240 years, a man running was considered “identity politics.”
We would lose our entire minds.
We take women’s patience far too much for granted.
— A.R. Moxon (Julius Goat) (@JuliusGoat) April 24, 2019
45 male presidents in a row…wrap your head around that. And think of how it must feel to be on the other side and be accused of “identity politics” for simply wanting to have your voice heard.
Moxon continued with his conversation.
Try to imagine men’s reactions, were it known that of the next 113 SCOTUS justices, only 4 would be men, and none of those w/b appointed before 2205, and even then women’s complaints about male appointees would be “why don’t they just appoint the person best qualified?”
My God.
— A.R. Moxon (Julius Goat) (@JuliusGoat) April 24, 2019
There’s no doubt there’s a whole lot of controversy surrounding the Supreme Court right now. How will it look in the next several years? What laws will be passed?
Try to imagine men’s reactions if we weren’t allowed to vote from now until 2170.
And if even in 2270 women were passing laws in 28 states to catalogue our ejaculations and prosecute those deemed unnecessary.
Would that seem bad.
— A.R. Moxon (Julius Goat) (@JuliusGoat) April 24, 2019
Think about this: women in the U.S. have had the privilege to vote FOR LESS THAN 100 YEARS. Pretty hard to believe when you think about it. When both of my grandmothers were born, women were not allowed to vote. Sobering.
What if it were known men wouldn’t be allowed into colleges for the next 100 yrs b/c women claimed it would make us go crazy and be bad for fragile penises.
But 100 years later 6 men would be elected to a 100 seat Senate and they’d call it The Year of the Man.
would that be ok?
— A.R. Moxon (Julius Goat) (@JuliusGoat) April 24, 2019
Would that be ok? I think we all know the answer to that question.
And there was more…
What if we men knew there wouldn’t be a male candidate for the presidency for 240 years, and even then he’d lose to the 2260 version of Roseanne Barr, who’d been taped bragging about assaulting men during the campaign—but the media talked about what a scary time it was for women?
— A.R. Moxon (Julius Goat) (@JuliusGoat) April 24, 2019
What if men needed a wife to own property for the next century or so.
Or to open a bank account?
And divorce is illegal.
But no fear, 100 yrs after that there’ll be a Constitutional Amendment declaring men are full people.
It’ll fail. But still—We’ve come a long way, baby!
— A.R. Moxon (Julius Goat) (@JuliusGoat) April 24, 2019
I know, these are crazy hypotheticals.
Insane. It would never happen. It would be insane to treat a gender that way.
But if it did, wouldn’t it matter?
Wouldn’t it need correction?
Man.
We’d need to rethink everything.
— A.R. Moxon (Julius Goat) (@JuliusGoat) April 24, 2019
These tweets are all crazy hypotheticals, but let it all sink in and think about what women have had to endure in our country.

LEGO’s New “Stranger Things” Set Literally Goes to the Upside-Down
Netflix’s hit show Stranger Things will release its third season on July 4, 2019. The series has a pretty rabid fan base that can’t get enough of the show. They always want more – more merchandise, more news, more behind-the-scenes info.
Well, ST fans, I’m here to share some good news with you. LEGO has teamed up with Netflix and launched a new toy set featuring 8 character figures, the Byers’ house…and the Upside Down.
Take a look at this, it’s pretty amazing.

The launch was announced at LEGO stores in London and New York City, and you can order the set from the LEGO online shop HERE. The set costs $199.99 and has 2,287 LEGO pieces.
You know you want a LEGO replica of Chief Hopper’s police cruiser, don’t even try to deny it.
This commercial for the Stranger Things LEGO set has a pretty awesome vintage, 1980s feel to it.

The Byers house is shown in incredible detail, with Will’s room all decked out, “Have you seen me?” flyers plastered on the walls, a dining room, and the alphabet wall from Season One (it lights up!) among other things. Then you can flip that house upside and get…The Upside Down! Which is totally awesome in its own right!
I bet you can’t wait to get your hands on this and play for days on end – am I right?
Are you excited for the new season of Stranger Things? What are your predictions? Sound off in the comments!

Therapy Dogs for the Survivors of the Parkland School Shooting Get Their Own Yearbook Page
It’s graduation season all across the country, and students everywhere are saying their goodbyes for the summer (or longer, if they’re graduating seniors) and of course, getting their yearbooks signed.
Unfortunately for the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the festivities are still clouded by the looming shadow of the tragic shooting that happened in February 2018, claiming the lives of 17 students and teachers. Staff and students are still dealing with the trauma of that day, a burden they will likely carry with them for years (if not the rest of their lives).
In an attempt to help its community cope with that trauma, Stoneman Douglas High School enlisted the help of 14 therapy dogs, and this year the helpful animals got their own yearbook page.
We’ve included these cuties in the yearbook
pic.twitter.com/CZScvAhjCN
— Aerie Yearbook (@AerieYearbook) May 3, 2019
The yearbook’s editor-in-chief, Caitlynn Tibbetts, said:
“It’s a balancing act. After the shooting we wanted that yearbook to be perfect and had to cover as much as possible. This year, we wanted to give proper representation of our school and who we are now without giving so much focus to what happened to us in the past. The therapy dogs are the one thing from last year that is permanent and positive.”
The dogs attend classes with students and hang out in the courtyard outside the cafeteria as students go to and from lunch, so the students can stop for a quick pet.
Teacher and yearbook adviser Sarah Lerner was thrilled with the addition of therapy jobs to the Stoneman Douglas High School campus. Lerner said, “There’s nothing a dog can’t fix. I’ll be teaching and in comes a dog and these big 18-year-old adults all the sudden become mushy 5-year-old kids and it’s been such a comfort for us.”
We love that Chief loves his yearbook! Make sure to find him to sign it.
pic.twitter.com/JHw0gjtptH
— Aerie Yearbook (@AerieYearbook) May 14, 2019
Lerner had the idea to include the 14 therapy dogs in the school’s yearbook: “We sat them up on chairs, they were smiling for the camera. It was the greatest day of my life.”
Just a few of the puppies who took pictures today… Grace, Emma & Chief were so happy to be included in the yearbook. pic.twitter.com/GYeSgyhMcv

A few of the pooches even ended up going to the prom.
A great, uplifting story that was born out of a tragic day that these students and staff will never forget.

This Inflatable Irish Pub is Available to Rent for Parties, So Dreams Do Come True
Ever since I was a young lad, I dreamed of having a bar in my backyard. You know, a nice, casual place to kick back and get sloshed with my buddies. Well, I’m here to tell you today that dreams do come true.
You see, you can now rent your very own, inflatable Irish pub for your next backyard shindig!
Think of it as a kind of bouncy-castle contraption like the ones the kids enjoy, but it’s stocked with booze and you can get hammered! And I guess you can probably bounce off the walls as well, right?
The Paddy Wagon Pub is a Boston-based business that brings the whole party to you, so to speak. When you hire these good folks, you get the inflatable Irish pub that can hold 80 people, complete with booze, Irish food, and even traditional Irish music if you’re interested.
We’re talking full service here, people. And they’re flexible too. The company says,
“It is no secret that Boston is internationally recognized as the hub of the Irish American community and within that community the pub is the place where friends and neighbors gather for good conversation, lively music, traditional fare and the Irish experience of home. Our team will work with you to make the perfect event. We can help design a customized drink menu, ranging from locally made microbrews to eclectic craft brews. We offer a wide range of culinary options and can provide staff to tend bar and provide food service.”
And just to make sure that neither you nor any of your friends get stuck behind the bar for the evening, the inflatable pub is staffed. So – sit back and enjoy.
Honestly, this sounds like a blast! Sláinte!
