flybar pgo stickThe new Flybar pogo stick is not your average stick of bouncy fun. The most extreme version of the Flybar allows riders from 120-250lbs to reach heights of up to 5 feet! Other than looking extremely fun this looks like a complete disaster waiting to happen. How cool is the Flybar? So cool that the all the riders we saw in action photos and videos were wearing helmets. This is not your Grandmothers pogo stick. Check out the sweet action flash video after the jump…

sonic grenadeThe perfect gadget for office or dorm room warfare, the sonic grenade is a realistic styled grenade that blasts earsplitting sounds that will drive anyone absolutely mad. It is constructed of hard rubber and plastic, making it pretty easy and safe to toss. All you have to do is set the grenade to one of three volume settings, pull the pin, and throw. Once the alarm goes off, your prey will only be able to adjust the settings, they will not be able to permanently turn the unit off.

Even the poorest of college students can afford to torture their hung-over neighbors for only $11.

ball-ice-cream-makerWith the play and freeze ice cream maker, you can make ice cream anywhere without electricity. All you have to do is add some ice, salt, and mix into the ball then toss it around for a few. This product is a big hit among campers and outdoorsmen but, I would think it would be just as nice to have around the house. Use the play and freeze to teach your kids some work ethics. You want ice cream? Then go get the ball and the mix, kick the ball around the back yard and work for it!

I thought Amazon sold books but apparently they sell everything. Grab the original pint size for $28 or the mega quart size for $39.

Your tax dollars are hard at work here with this cool gel based ant farm, complete with all the nutrients to promote healthy growth in your new colony. Because of this space age gel the ants are super easy to care for, no food or water necessary. For under 30 bucks AntWorks is a pretty affordable good time.

Watch the ants live, work and tunnel in the nutritious and non-toxic gel as they create series of intricate tunnels. Check out this cool time lapse photography after the jump…
