SUCK UK Rocks

bin2_rect540

I’m browsing through Apartment Therapy and I saw these giant bags of goldfish. I just saw it out of the corner of my eye, so I was thrown off. On closer inspection I see that they’re actually garbage bags. How cool, that someone though of this. Well that was my first reaction. The reality of it sinks in after the initial oohs and ahhs because let’s face it, I’m not going to shell out $16 for 12 bags (plus shipping fees from the UK), but still, it’s a pretty cool idea. If I spent a little more time actually looking at my garbage bags, I might consider it…

BUT, of course there’s a but… this is a cool design for something that’s so ordinary, I’m not just going to let the post go downhill! So I went to the SUCK UK site and they have a ton of cool stuff! Every other thing I’m looking at, I want. Yes, now including those goldfish garbage bags, lol! Take a look at a few of the things they have to offer:

Message tape comes in various sizes. You roll out however much tape you need, and create your own messages by blacking out unwanted dots or lines.

Sharpener Desk Tidy. I think this one speaks for itself. It’s a giant pencil sharpener where you can put your pens and pencils. How cool would this look on an architect’s desk or maybe one of those ultra trendy design studios?

Who Tall Are You Mirror. Yes, that’s WHO tall, not HOW tall. It list various artists, actors, celebrities by their height. This way you can see who is your same height. I’m as tall as Dany Devito, lol. Assuming I did the conversion correctly, this is listed in centimeters.

There’s a ton of other cool things, Shot in the Dark glow in the dark shot glasses, Alphabet Ice Cube Trays, Color Changing Umbrellas and more. I could go on, but I’ll restrain myself. Visit suck.uk.com to see more fun stuff!
