Salad Blaster Bowl
First to recommend
Description
August already? Guess "bikini-ready by the beginning of summer" is long over, but at least you can still look good for the Indian summer. Container Store's Salad Blaster will help you watch what you eat, since it makes eating salads for lunch at work much easier. The plastic bowl carries the salad greens and other vegetables, and dressing is separate in a compartment in the lid. When it's time to eat, "blast" the dressing into the salad.

Bacon Chocolate
26 people recommended this item
Description
When eating a salad or hamburger, I always joke that bacon makes anything taste better. But what about when it's added to chocolate? Well, someone went ahead and put bacon in chocolate, and this unique flavor combination has become the talk of the town. The bacon adds a salty flavor that creates a deep, smoky flavor out of the chocolate not unlike that of barbecue sauce.
