We love when factories send us samples of things they think we’ll like. For instance, this festive Shamrock Skull which we assume was designed to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. The festive green and shamrock on the forehead would surely please anyone looking to celebrate their Irish heritage. We won’t be carrying it.
This is some of the most poetic Engrish ever. Found on a Bento Box sample. “Regardless the timespace how to change the, the of the crystal, the whole life is constant.
While searching for an image to use on our Zombie Mints tin in an old French anatomical book, Matt was shocked to find the drawing above. It looks just like our co-worker Gibson Holub. At first we all thought it was funny, but after watching the last season of Lost, we have a new theory. [...]

To celebrate April Fool’s Day, Secret Fun Blog has dipped into their seemingly infinite supply of old novelty items to provide beautiful pictures and stories about the off-brand version of the all time best pranks.

The story of the Zombie Jesus is hotly debated by our customers. They accuse us of cleverly importing a Zombie Jesus and trying to market it as a production mistake. Even when we tell customers the truth, they tend not to believe us. So, I’m here to set the record straight. It was a mistake. [...]
