Yes, It Exists: Comics on Coffee!

Coffee and comic books? Now that’s a crossover I can get behind. I spotted these ridiculously cool bags of Comics on Coffee at Anime NYC, featuring two of Gotham’s most famous residents: Batman and the Joker.

The Dark Knight Roast is a dark roast inspired by Batman, with chocolate and subtle fruit notes, while the Joker’s Blueberry Blast combines dark-roasted Nicaraguan espresso beans with a hint of sweet blueberry — my favorite! (and bonus points for the tagline: Insanely Good!)

Comics on Coffee (now apparently DBA as Heroic Coffee and Tea) has an entire DC-inspired lineup of flavors matched with your favorite heroes and villains including Superman, Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow and more. Because sometimes, saving the world — or just surviving a day at a comic convention — requires caffeine.

There are so many things you see at a fan convention that make you say, “Wait…what?” Clown Meat is definitely one of those. I spotted this wonderfully disturbing little novelty at the recent Flame Con, where it immediately caught my attention. It sure looks exactly like a tin of salted and preserved meat, complete with a vintage-style label featuring a cheerful-looking clown tossing a steak into the air. The tagline? “It tastes funny.” Clever.

Sometimes a product doesn’t need a clever explanation — it just needs a name that makes you say OMG! Case in point: Fuckin’ Soap by Rude Dude Fragrances. Spotted in the wild at NY Now, this bar of soap comes in a surprisingly glam package: a black box with silver lettering and silver borders that gives it a sleek, almost luxurious look. It reminds of a matchbook you’d find in a downtown nightclub back in the eighties. Then you notice the name. Fuckin Soap. The bar itself carries the same unapologetic name, embossed right across the front. It’s soap, it’s irreverent, it’s a little bit glam, and it gets the job done. Most importantly, it exists!

There are some things in life that make perfect sense, and then there is Banana Hands. This 500-piece jigsaw puzzle from Piecework Puzzles features a wonderfully surreal photograph of what appears to be a person sitting at a table reading a book, surrounded by bananas and fruit. But in place of a head, they have a giant heart-shaped leaf (presumably a banana leaf). And their hands? Well, they’re bananas. Obviously.

A practical object with a twist of humor  is always delightful, and these masked wrestler bottle openers by Kikkerland Design absolutely pull off that balancing act. Inspired by the colorful world of Mexican Luchadores, the tiny wrestlers appear to leap into action every time a bottle needs opening, gripping the cap with their legs in a move that feels equal parts wrestling hold and party trick. Yes, it exists!
