Carrot Shakedowns: If you love the syrupy sweet gal who proudly proclaimed “it’s Shake n’ Bake, and I helped” or you want everything to be Cool Ranch-flavored, then you’ll probably like this carrot innovation from Bolthouse Farms. The carrot purveyor has just introduced packaging inspired by Shake n’ Bake & Doritos where you can season your carrots with the flavor of ranch, salsa or lime.

Don’t Blow It: Perhaps an homage to how far technology has come since the day we met those fun loving Italian plumber brothers (partners?), here is an entire Nintendo Entertainment System built INSIDE an original Super Mario Brothers game cartridge. It’s like Inception, if it took place in Italy in the 1980s.

Things @Martiello Is Probably Working On: Take a look at Brazilian filmmaker Fernando Sanches’ short film created entirely with Instagram pictures.

Calligraphy Bot: The worst part of doing calligraphy is that when you’re doing it, it is basically impossible to eat nachos. This machines solves that.
