30 Inexpensive Products That'll Bring You So Much Joy

Buzz Feed7 hours ago

An actual (OK, well not "actual") kitty cat-a-pult if you believe these furry creatures were brought to earth to be superheroes, but are just missing the ever-essential power of flight. Equipped with capes tied around their necks, this trio of cats is ready for their first mission!
A Lego cherry blossom — not only will you have fun building these charming blooms, but you'll love being able to keep this floral display out all year long!
A disposable waterproof Fujifilm camera for capturing all the water-based activities you plan on doing this summer! It can even go underwater, so snap pics of some fishies and coral reefs.
The Book of Unusual Knowledge because, as a student of life, you know you still have so much left to learn. This 704-page book is a great place to start. It's got articles, anecdotes, lists, and games to keep you entertained and curious.
A funny and all-too-relatable ceramic mug so you can feel good about having sugary cereal or cold, leftover pizza for breakfast. As a part-time adult, your first shift doesn't start for another few...years.
A banana peel-scented hanging opossum air freshener — don't worry, she's not actually dead. She's just playing 'possum!
A darling lil' llama-shaped stress ball for those days when your boss asks you to convert a doc into a PDF even though you've shown Sharon how to do it a million and one times. Just squish and squeeze the llama to feel a little relief...then convert the doc.
A daddy-licious book of Pedro Pascal quotes sure to get you through your darkest days. With such gems as "I just don't want to make any decisions" and "Daddy is a state of mind, you know what I'm sayin'? I'm your daddy," you're bound to lift yourself out of any rut.
A pair of waterproof platform slides that'll give you a little extra height without sacrificing comfort. They're designed with pronounced arch support, a deep heel cup, and a toe grip function; some reviewers with plantar fasciitis love them! So sink into the feeling of these lightweight sandals molding to your feet.
A *checks notes* garlic bread-scented candle you might not wanna light when you're hungry. Made with beeswax, goats' milk, herbs, and farm-grown garlic, this candle is the perfect (inedible) treat!
A set of extendable marshmallow roasting forks because who has time to go hunting for the perfect stick when there's perfectly good chocolate to devour?!
And speaking of s'mores! How about a portable stainless-steel tabletop firepit so you can make s'mores anytime you want! And its low-smoke feature is all thanks to its 360-degree airflow design — cool air enters through the bottom vents, heats, and then feeds the fire to create a second combustion. That means the fire burns more completely and produces less smoke! No need to spend a scrillion dollars on a name brand version...
A very rude but waterproof and dishwasher-safe cross stitch sticker that'll let the world know you're simply doing your best, you Elder Millennial. So go ahead and stick it to your emotional support water bottle!
An infectious disease coloring book full of sights you may have only seen in horror movies or during those late-night deep Wiki dives. If you're intrigued by body horror and also need a relaxing hobby, this is just the thing.
A pack of eight spicy margarita instant cocktail tea bags because as cute as it is to go out and spend upwards of $20 on just one drink...being at home in your coziest loungewear is also a really ~intoxicating~ idea. All you have to do is let it steep for three minutes in a combination of water and spirits (I'd obvi go with tequila here), and your fave summery drink is good to go!
A charming miniature frog statue featuring a demure froggy sitting in a rocking chair and holding a solar-powered, light-up mug. How can you not smile when you see this lil' guy and his crossed legs??? Frogs: They're just like us!
A children's book-inspired embroidered hat that tells everyone that you're a verrrry hungry caterpillar with an incredibly specific craving...
Or a dainty lil' guillotine enamel pin if you think the French got this one thing right. This pink cutie is giving (let them eat) cake vibes.
A screaming goat figurine because every now and then you need to scream but feel a little too self-conscious to let out your roar (or, your bleat?). That's where this lil' guy comes in. It'll do the screaming for you! It even comes with a book full of fun facts and trivia about the ever-majestic goat.
A deck of cat tarot so you can get answers about your purr-fect future partner or job opportunity. This fun feline twist on the classic tarot contains 78 cards to divine from. Let a sweet Siamese tell you to trust your gut, which you might already know...but it's always nice to hear it from somebody else.
A cozy cotton hammock chair you'll sink into and never wanna leave. And why should you? It's even got a built-in side pocket to hold your phone while you're busy finding animals in the clouds.
A mini wacky waving inflatable tube guy if you need a fun (but silent) coworker at your WFH station. I mean, I could watch this red man flail for hours and hours and...
An inflatable sunbathing lounger, because the beach isn't the only place on the planet where you can get a tan. And since it has two drink holders, you can stay hydrated with your Owala and have a little fun with a tumbler full of margarita. So grab your sunscreen, adjust the removable pillow, and get that oh-so-sacred vitamin D. Plus, it can also be used as a floatie if you've got a pool!
A pair of macabre gravestone stud earrings that scream... No, that's it. They scream. I can hear them through the screen.
A mini Bob Ross paint-by-numbers kit so you can relive the magic of the famously wholesome show The Joy of Painting by letting your inner Bob Ross create a masterpiece.
A super teeny-tiny violin keychain because you need to have something to play when your BFF complains about their situationship for the umpteenth time. Yes, it actually plays a sad little tune to serve as a soundtrack.
A moody sticker book that'll allow you to tell people how you feel without having to actually say how you feel. Let your BFF know that you're "confused why they're confused" with a sticker instead of a text message to the group chat.
A book of 642 tiny things to draw so you can give yourself the gift of curing boredom. This lil' guided journal will help you become the best doodler there is.
A mindlessly fun yodeling pickle toy that'll finally give you someone to duet with. I don't know why your friends refuse to join you; you sound great!
An easy-to-use mug ice cream maker — now you can have a delicious cold treat in under 20 minutes, which is about how long it'll take you to find a show to watch as you dig into your dessert. And now that you're in the driver's seat, you can blend whatever flavors don't exist at ice cream shops. (I'm thinking chocolate and orange?) Reviewers even say this is a cheaper alternative to the Ninja Creami!

I Have Questions About the Official ‘Fantastic Four' Pizza

The food tie-ins with Marvel's next movie offer some very curious choices. Giving the foodie world a spin is Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and here's a preview of the upcoming snack tie-ins at major chain restaurants and snack companies. If you thought that AMC Theaters' Herbie popcorn robot was peak—well, let us introduce you to a four-quadrant pizza inspired by Marvel's First Family being released at Little Caesars. What's so audacious about the flavors of each section is what they say about Marvel's Fantastic Four heroes. Obviously pepperoni and jalapeño is Johnny Storm because of his flame powers, and Italian sausage and bacon gives a rocky texture like Thing. But between pepperoni and cheese, we're seeing that Sue could very well be just plain cheese since there's no visible ingredients (get it, invisible woman) and Reed is pepperoni. I mean the cheese is stretchy but it's all over the pizza, so it sorta works if you stretch your imagination. The perplexing pizza pie conundrum is almost as hilariously bonkers as Fantastic Four blue milk. Yes, blue 'Fantastic Berry' flavored milk. From the makers of the Star Wars 'May the Fourth' branded blue milk, TruMoo is now hawking berry-flavored half gallons for families or the curious childless nerd. Personally, I'm more of a vanilla blue milk fan so not even Pedro Pascal catering calcium could get me to drink this. Each half-gallon features a different member of the Fantastic Four team. And what better to go with milk than cereal? Retro-style cereal boxes are back for a variety of General Mills grocery store aisle faves. These are less interested in having each member of the team correspond with an element of each cereal but we love the throwback art. The cereal boxes are perhaps the tamest of the tie-ins because the other breakfast and snack food offering is a special edition Pop-Tarts release which brings back a retired flavor. Fans of frosted blue raspberry will be happy to see its comeback in special packaging and Marvel comics designs, alongside classic flavors frosted strawberry, frosted brown sugar cinnamon, and frosted s'mores. Watch this ridiculous ad, which takes the wild Pop-Tart mascots and turns them into substitute superheroes 'The FanTASTEic Four' who are no help at all when Galactus is coming and you're in need of a frosted bite. Adding on to the fantastically weird are the Snapple Fantastic Four flavor releases. Included in the lineup are Mister Fantastic on the apple flavor (because a Pedro Pascal a day would keep the doctor away); the Thing's kiwi-strawberry juice; and the Storm siblings' peach tea juices. We'll leave you with a look at the Sue Storm bottle design: Do any of the tie-ins entice you? Let us know in the comments.

‘The Daily Show' staffer crowned winner in Pedro Pascal lookalike contest

In this time of division, a group of New Yorkers found themselves agreeing with each other about one thing this past weekend: Two Pedro Pascals are better than one. On Sunday, Brooklyn eatery Son del North hosted a Pedro Pascal lookalike contest, ultimately crowning George Gountas, a lighting designer for 'The Daily Show,' the winner. Gountas, who according to IMDb has worked for the television program since 2017 and is a two-time Emmy nominee, won in a victorious moment featured on the restaurant's Instagram page. Gountas, whose resemblance to the 'Last of Us' star is certainly uncanny, is a father of two from Brooklyn, according to the Hollywood Reporter. He was awarded a $50 cash prize and 1 year of free burritos from the restaurant. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter published Monday, Gountas said his coworkers at the 'Daily Show' and his wife encouraged him to participate in the contest after seeing a flyer. 'One of the stage managers, Tyler, found the advertisement for the contest and was like, 'Yo, George, go win some free burritos.' I showed it to my wife and she's like, 'Yeah, you're going to this,'' he told the publication. 'My neighbor is a stylist and art director and she was like, 'I've got shoes for you, I've got pants for you.' It was a whole thing.' Gountas said his wife and kids accompanied him to the contest for support and that he was overwhelmed by how many people showed up, calling it an 'unbelievable' scene. His 'Daily Show' co-workers, he added, were also thrilled about his big win. 'Everyone's super supportive,' he said. 'It's been pretty insane.' Celebrity look-alike contests have become a growing trend after a Timothee Chalamet doppelgänger was crowned in New York City, an event that the 'A Complete Unknown' star showed up to. Since then, contests for actors like Jeremy Allen White and Paul Mescal, among others, have popped up in cities across the world, making a splash on social media. Some winners have walked away with more than bragging rights. The winner of the Chalamet contest was invited to appear in a 'Saturday Night Live' promo for the episode that Chalamet was hosting in January. Others have nabbed deals with brands like Away and Torchys. Pascal, who is active on social media, had not weighed in on the contest as of Monday afternoon. But maybe the Internet's 'daddy' had Father's Day off.'
