Use the sauce, Luke
Sarah Dobbs
Just when you thought you'd seen every conceivable piece of Star Wars merchandise, someone invents an R2-D2 soy sauce bottle.
I don't know where to start with this. It's like there's so much pun-fodder here, my brain can't quite wrap itself around the situation. This is just ... brilliant.
Alternatively, it's an R2-D2 shaped soy sauce bottle.
R2-D2 has leant his image to an awful lot of things over the years - from pencil-toppers to flash drives to telephones - but a soy sauce bottle? That's genius. Admittedly, it's not the first time the Star Wars robot has ventured into the condiment realm, but somehow, salt and pepper mills just don't seem as completely absurd as a soy sauce bottle. Maybe it's just the bizarrely specific nature of this product. What happens if you want to use him for dispensing, say, vinegar? Is that acceptable, or not?
Maybe we'll never know.
I do know, though, that I am absolutely obsessed with the idea. I want one. You can get it from Forbidden Planet from 10th February; pre-order now to avoid disappointment! (Because you know everyone's going to want these things. Or maybe just me.)

Re: Use the sauce, LukeA Jedi can feel the sauce flow through him.
That said, I wrote about this on Shaktronics some time ago, and it's just as horrifying to drink brown ooze leaking from a robot now as it was then. | |
Re: Use the sauce, LukeAwww I remember having that useless R2-D2 rubber (whoops, sorry Ron, I meant eraser)on the end of my schoolboy pencil.

Possibly the single greatest thing to ever come out of the Star Wars franchise.
