We went on the search engines to try and find some new and lazy food gadgets that will make it even lazier to enjoy our favorite meals or our favorite treats. Here’s a roundup of some of the new and unique products that we were able to find on the net.

-Have you ever wanted to drink a beer at your son’s football game and not get yelled at by the other parents for being a lazy drunk? Well, now you can use the power of stealth technology to enjoy any drink that pleases you with the help of the beer belly device. The drink is held in place in an insulated sling under your clothes making it look just like a real home grown beer belly.The device holds 80 ounces of liquid and can fit up to a 40 inch waistline and a height of over 6 feet. The device can let you get drunk in peace while forcing others to think that you’ve ate one too many hamburgers lately.

-There’s nothing more fun about being a kid and building stuff. Little kids like to play with construction blocks and let their imaginations go wild building all sorts of unique things. This love of stacking things together has been brought to life in the form of forks and knives. Now, you can take your utensils and join them together in the cupboard. This process helps to keep the cupboard more organized and can be a great set to take camping with the family and avoid losing any cutlery compared to more traditional utensil sets. It’s also a great tool to get little kids more accustomed with eating with utensils as opposed to using their hands to eat everything.

-Ordinary candy dispensers require individuals to have to put a coin into them to receive their treat. They get touched by hundreds of different hands on a regular basis and there’s a good chance that these machines have all sorts of bacteria and germs on them. These machines are great for lazy people who are too cheap to go and fetch for some extra money and for germophobes who don’t want to put their clean hands on a dirty machine that has been touched way too often for their liking. Also, why waste all of that energy having to turn the darn thing? Simply place your hands underneath the sensor and you can have all of the free candy that your heart desires.

Tap water is beginning to get boring. You go into your kitchen everyday and the tap is just sitting there and doing nothing but pouring water out of it all of the time. There’s no taste to water. It’s plain, you can see through it and there’s a bunch of minerals in it that I don’t know the name of, but I’m pretty certain most are supposed to be good for you. We wish that a tap existed that could pour hot beverages compared to that other drink that’s supposedly we die from if we don’t drink enough of it. Danish coffee machine inventor Scanomat has gotten the better of us and have invented a device called ‘Top Brewer’ which consists of a tap that can simultaneously dispense up to three types of liquid. The app-controlled tap dispenses coffee from freshly ground beans. Top Brewer shuts off completely when not serving up Java. When a user wants a cup, it can go from being cold and inactive to brewing that cup within 45 seconds. The built-in brewer lets users customize drink settings. You can ask the device for more or less coffee, how much milk to add as well as the type of milk and the type and amount of water to include in the beverage. This can help to make espressos, macchiatos, cappuccinos, lattes, steaming or cold milk, tea-temperature water and even steam for blanching vegetables.

The cool part is that you can control it by iPhone so very soon we expect to see a voice-activated version that will work with Siri’s voice commands. This sounds easy but is there any cleanup involved? The Scanomatic milk clean system of the Top Brewer cleans all hoses with water after each cup. The system costs about $11,000. A version that also makes juices and allows a user to choose between flavored or decaf coffee comes with a $19,000 price tag. This device is a definite winner for any coffee lover and will be a great center piece to any kitchen and a worthy alternative to anybody that wants to spend lots of money on a large gas-range stove or fridge.

It’s been seven years since Sony introduced the world to the PlayStation 3. The company tried to sell the PS3 as a living room hub where you could use a multimedia device to not only play video games but also watch movies and listen to music. Sony learned a lot of lessons on what makes a great console. The PS3 was viewed as a difficult system to program for developers. It was expensive to purchase and had an ambitious goal to try to reach out to casual fans with gimmicks that weren’t always about the video games themselves. Sony was introducing Blu-ray media technology for the first time which eventually became the adopted physical media standard. Now, Sony no longer needs to worry about these distractions and their new system reflects this fact with a clear message that it’s a video game console before anything else with an aggressive price point. Let’s take a look at some pros and cons to the PlayStation 4.

Pros:
-Graphics are good
-Dual shock 4 controller is good
-PS Vita remote play over wi-fi
-Excellent hardware performance
-Interface is fast

Cons:
-No DLNA Streaming
-No mp3,mkv,mpg playback
-Payment plan for online gaming
-No bluetooth headset support at launch
-Interface has too many cluttered menus

The first thing to enjoy about the PS4 is its design. The half-gloss, half-matte finish is a pleasant visual compromise and makes it look like a grown-up machine. The PS4 is 6.1 lbs. Sony has tucked the PS4’s power supply inside the system, leaving no external power brick to trip over. In the front, you’ll notice the Blu-ray disc drive to the left followed by two powered USB 3.0 ports on the right, which can charge your DualShock 4 controllers when the system is turned off. On the top, a clear blue line lights to signal when the device is turned on. If you flip to the back of the system, you’ll see only digital/optical ports as Sony no longer supports any video/analog ports. The system is also built with stability in mind as gamers can place the console either horizontally or vertically .

The concept of sitting down at a table to order a meal at a restaurant is nothing new. However, more and more fast food joints and full service restaurants are now trying to use technology to make the interaction between the client and the server less awkward and more accommodating then before. Many restaurants are deploying pilot projects where customers order directly from the tables on i Pads specifically deployed to the tables for that purpose. According to the 2013 Restaurant Industry Forecast by the National Restaurant Association, in-house iPad menus are one of the hottest trends of the year for the nation’s bars and restaurants.

For example, you can use the tablet to custom-build your meal, pay for the bill, and even prepay for the bill ahead of time so that you have more time to enjoy your meal without worrying about the bill at the end. Another example of the benefits of the tablet devices would be educating the customer on a difficult product choice such as wine. Many individuals don’t know much about what type of wine to pair with a specific meal and the tablet can help make the customer make the right selection with their meal. Another great thing about these tablets is that they provide a distraction for kids at the dinner table. Tablets can be used to provide games for young children which will keep them from crying or jumping up and down from boredom. This can allow parents a chance to relax after a long day without worrying about their kids giving them headaches. Overall, let’s look at some of the pros from purchasing these items…

Pros:
-Entertain guests which might force them to stay longer and purchase more items
-Distract kids long enough for their parents to enjoy a quiet meal
-Increase interaction and engagement with customers
-Improve service efficiency
-Educate customers on complex purchases
