Co-brandings I never would have thought of

• A Serbian line of fruit juice has bottles bearing the names and images of notorious leaders like Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro and Josip Tito. Also on the bottles: Che (of course) and Emir Kusturica, the Serb movie director bank rolling all this. What about Mao and Stalin?
• Baby Einstein sun block lotion. What’s the SPF on Mozart anyway?
• Business cards and beef. First there was bacon-flavored candy. Now, OhGizmo reports on a business card holder designed to look like a piece of prime Kobe beef. YUCCCH.
• Wait, folks that’s not all. How about an iceberg lettuce-shaped safe? GizmoDiva has found an actual safe designed to look like…well you know. It’s a great idea as I don’t think the burglar has been born who would say, “Hey, let’s dig through the vegetable bin for the valuables.” I also think it’s the best use for that flavorless, horrible foodstuff that anyone has yet come up with. I have been lobbying for years for a constitutional ban on the stuff. So far, no luck.
• Now all I need is a bread shaped item and we’ll have a sandwich.
