The Dum Dums mystery flavor was created so the factory could save time and money by not stopping the machines between flavor batches. When you get a “mystery” lollipop today, you’re either tasting a combo of whatever flavors the production line is switching between, or a regular Dum Dum that wasn’t wrapped correctly and got rewrapped with a mystery label.

A lamp that uses blood to create light is meant to make people rethink how they use energy. The lamp contains luminol, a chemical that reacts with the iron in blood and creates a bright blue glow. This was invented by Mike Thomspon. The lamp is intended to “challenge people’s preconceived notions about where our energy comes from,” he said, and it forces the user “to rethink how wasteful they are with energy, and how precious it is.“ (Source)

Exquisite Gem Jewelry by Penelope Bridge
Penelope Bridge from The Flying Fox Arts has been collecting gems since she was eight years old. As a fourth general female jewelry, Bridge appreciates the intimite and metaphysical understanding of stones to create a piece, which feels “just right”. She reveals, “While studying Natural Resource Technology and Management at a First Nations (Canada’s preferred terminology to “American Indian”) technical college on a First Nations Forestry Scholarship, I learned that the Artist’s task is to uncover each piece’s spirit - to follow that thread fearlessly and respectfully all the way to the end, in order to truly see what the piece is asking to be.” Find her work in her Etsy shop.
