Xbox Soap From Digital Soap Shop

Lush has a serious competitor in form of a shop on Etsy. The Digital Soap Shop makes soap bars in the shape of our favorite digital accessories. The Xbox soap above is made with: 

  • Coconut Oil
  • Cocoa Butter
  • Palm Oil
  • Castor Oil
  • Safflower Oil
  • Glycerin (kosher, of vegetable origin)
  • And other ingredients
Update: Thanks to EmpressContana for inspiring the change to the post title. [From Xbox Soap to "The Solution to Smell Game Cons]
This is something I’ve encountered at every gaming/nerd/con event I’ve attended. I don’t even know what to call it but it’s definitely offensive and I’m STILL not used to it. My Twitter friend Nicholas came up with the perfect name for the phenomenon.
That’s the name. It’s official. Nerd Stank.

I like cupcake towers. They enable me (the host) to serve an array of tiny cakes. This beats having to settle on just one flavor to satisfy guests. The retro video game tower above contains an assortment of flavors along with ‘gaming’ accents (i.e. Space Invaders, Companion Cube abd Frogger). 

Cake and Frosting Flavors

  • Space Invaders: vanilla cake with hot Mexican chocolate icing – The spicy kick of the icing is amazing
  • Robotron: Chocolate ginger cake with Green Tea frosting – A divine combination, I will order it again
  • Frogger: lemon cake with vanilla icing
  • Companion Cube: Chocolate chili with vanilla icing

I don’t know about you but I prefer to either play games on the floor near a pillow or on the couch. This ‘thing’ retails at $69.00. It looks so uncomfortable. Who would want to spend hours gaming in this contraption? Can you imagine straining yourself like the poor fellow in this picture?
