You Can Make 3D Car and Truck Pancakes for Breakfast

Racing frantically through breakfast every morning will be easier now with the help of little cars and trucks made out of waffles.

CucinaPro has come out with a cool new way to fuel your day–a waffle maker that turns your favorite pancake batter into little Hot Wheels looking waffles.

It works just like a normal, boring old waffle maker. Pour the batter into the non-stick molds and, then, vrooom! A plateful of fun that will wake you out of your Ford siesta.

After you pop them out of the garage–er, waffle maker–you’ll see seven different makes and models to butter and syrup.

As you can imagine, the appliance speedily sold out on Amazon where the Cars & Trucks Waffle Maker was listed for $42.95.

But don’t let that drive you away. Get on the list so you’ll be able to enter the expressway to morning fun as soon as it becomes available again.

I mean… what kid wouldn’t love this? Wait… what PERSON wouldn’t love this? These are insanely cool!

If cars aren’t your thing, you can also get a dinosaur maker. Either way, the reviews of both makers are excellent with some users advising cooking spray to ensure all the little shapes emerge perfectly.

Rumor has it the company tried to make a motorcycle waffle maker but the pancakes wouldn’t stay right side up. They were…two tired.

Okay, so that was horrible… but I want to see you do better. Tell me your favorite joke in the comments!

Over 100,000 Dogs Are Killed Each Year Riding in Truck Beds

Country songs are known for their sense of Americana—distant train whistles, love for family, broken hearts and a dog in the back of a pick-up.

Romantic imagery for sure, but unfortunately, our bubble has to burst.

The pick-up is not the best place for the dogs to ride.

Since the cabs of pick-up trucks might only be a front bench seat, dogs are often shown the bed of the truck for a trip.

But though it seems convenient, American Humane strongly cautions against letting dogs hang out in the back of pickups, stating that an estimated 100,000 dogs die in accidents yearly riding in truck beds.

100,000 dogs! That’s so many!

One obvious reason is that dogs jump, especially if they are curious or scared. Even if they are trained or have calm personalities, if there’s an accident, they can fall or jump out of the bed and get seriously injured or cause other collisions.

The bed of a truck can be much colder or hotter than the cab, where the temperature is controlled. Since there’s no protection back there, wind can also blow debris around getting into dogs’ ears, noses, eyes and mouths. In the heat of summer, metal beds can burn paws.

Even leashing or crating the dog while they are in the bed can causes more problems than protection. Dogs can be strangled if they are thrown from a truck while leashed. If a dog is confined in a crate, it could prevent them from escaping in case of an accident.

Some dogs love being back there. Other dogs may get anxious at the noises and confusion of the road.

It turns out, there are really a lot of reasons to keep them out of the bed of the truck. And your dog is your best friend, right? So keep them safe – and in the truck next to you.

TV show Top Gear conducted…

TV show Top Gear conducted an extreme test of a Toyota pickup truck by leaving it on a beach to be taken by the tide, leaving it on top of a highrise building that was demolished, and setting it on fire. It still ran after being repaired with only the tools in the truck’s toolbox.
