This might be the first time you've heard of Razer's own Sneki Snek. It's a logo, it's a branding mark, it's a character. It's a very cute little creature. Sneki Snek first appeared at RazerCon in October of 2020, after which Razer met their goal to "save" 100,000 trees within two months. They did this by selling Sneki Snek merchandise.
If you're looking for the most gamer-friendly foods in the universe right this minute, it should come as no surprise that the most fantastic options you're going to find reside in Japan. The convenience store 7-Eleven teamed up with Nintendo this season for a variety of snack cakes and fun munchies. In the mix starting this week are six new Super Mario branded treats for all to consume.
Today PepsiCo and Beyond Meat teamed up to announce a newly created entity "The PLANeT Partnership, LLC (TPP)." Financial terms of this partnership were not disclosed, and all "joint venture operations" will be managed by the newly created entity. But what in the world would Pepsi want to do working with Beyond Meat?
This week Coca-Cola with Coffee in cans launched in stores in a variety of flavors and mixes. This isn't the first time Coca-Cola tried to launch a coffee mix drink, but it might be the most successful. Thanks to a newly formulated mix of elements and a far, far better branding scheme than with previous releases, the Coca-Cola with Coffee in cans release will likely be in your hand by the end of the month.
We're seeing a steady stream of new products for personal and home use that all use the "smart" qualifier to indicate how intelligent they are because they connect to the Internet. Things don't have to be connected, however, to be useful. Sometimes, all it takes is the intelligent and creative combination of modern technologies to provide a more convenient and safer experience. That's the simple joy that the Lylux Hair Dryer is promising by putting together bladeless fans, cordless operation, and smart sensors to make drying hair even less of a hassle.
A variety of fashion statements were on display at the Biden Harris 2021 Presidential Inauguration, but none were so perfectly meme-ready as Bernie Sanders. While Lady Gaga delivered a Hunger Games look that, TBH, was relatively understated and on-point for the occasion, Bernie delivered with a jacket and mittens of note. Both are perfectly functional and comfy pieces of clothing - and both have a backstory.
You don't need to be able to connect to the Internet or even just smartphones to be smart, even though the marketing term has been appropriated exactly to describe that. Sometimes, you just have to be smart about squeezing the best out of features to make life more convenient for people. The Proscenic P11 cordless vacuum cleaner isn't exactly smart in the Internet-connected sense but does try to be smart in its use of a powerful brushless motor to suck the dirt out of your life. We give it a spin, almost literally, to really see if it can stand up to its promises, even if the vacuum cleaner can't literally stand on its own.

The first item we're going to take a look at here today is the Razer x A Bathing Ape Goliathus Speed.
The Pokemon glasses frames you're about to see are fun, imaginative, and unique. These are words I did not expect to attach to a pair of prescription lenses - not here in 2020, nor ever, really. In a move that I most definitely did NOT see coming, the folks at Jins worked with the official Pokemon Company and created a set of licensed glasses for people of all ages that reflect a set of Pokemon in unique and interesting ways.
Google just released their first ever "top 100 trending gifts" guide, also known as the Google Shopping Gift Guide 2020. This website puts in focus the products that've been most-purchased for the holiday season, effectively pushing the biggest to sell bigger, and the lesser-known an even lesser chance of finding their target audience.
