Here's a pencil that you can plant to grow tomatoes, basil and peppers


Sprout is a line of eco-friendly pencils that can be planted after use. When the mixture of graphite and clay runs out or if the pencil becomes too short to write with, just place it in soil (preferably near natural sunlight) and water it regularly. After a few weeks, a dissolvable seed capsule at the end of the pencil will germinate, transforming it into one of twelve herbs and vegetables such as basil, mint, cherry tomatoes, green pepper or sweet pea.

McDonald's unveils bike-friendly takeout packaging

Ad firm Tribal Buenos Aires in Argentina has designed a new disposable takeout packaging for McDonald's that's made to hang from bicycle handlebars. Dubbed "McBike," the carrier is made out of cardboard and holds a burger, fries and drink. It was first introduced in Denmark, and then in Colombia. McDonald's aims to roll this concept out in Japan and the Netherlands soon. I really like the design. It's very practical. [h/t: DesignTaxi ]
