Push Pops and cake — together at last. But how does it taste?

While the push pop mechanism doesn’t change the taste of cake at all, it does make it fun to eat, and if you ate it in front of someone else, it would probably make them jealous.

You had me at “while.”

RIP Society of the Day:

MTV isn’t letting Jersey Shore‘s fourth season shooting delays slow down the brand’s momentum, announcing today that it has greenlighted not one, but two Shore spinoffs set to air next year.

The first, an as-yet-untitled 12-episode series starring Snooki and Jwoww, will follow the pumpkin and her plastic companion around as they “deal with life and love.” The second, an as-yet-untitled 12-episode series starring Pauly D, will follow the spiky-haired plate-spinner around as he hits the road in his capacity “as one of the country’s most in-demand DJs.”

If you thought you were getting off light, forget about it. “I think we have breakout stars in all of our cast members,” MTV’s executive VP of programming Chris Linn told ShowTracker, adding that the network is in TV show talks with some of Shore‘s other personalities. “There was no real strategy as far as who got a show first,” he says. “These were ready to go.”

The USPS Flat Rate box claims that if it fits, it ships -or does it?

1

We've all seen the commercials for the USPS touting that whatever you can cram into a Flat Rate box, it's one flat fee for shipping anywhere in the lower 48 states. I decided to test this service and really push the limits of their fine print -which indicates a weight limit of 70 lbs! I also thought it would be fun to play a little prank on my sister Emily, who runs theBERRY.com, and send the package from Venice Beach to her in Nashville, TN.
But what is small enough to weight 70 lbs? 10,000 pennies. We could only fit 60 lbs of pennies in the box, but good enough for us and we don't want to give any disgruntled postal worker a hernia and, well, make them go postal.

Did the package make it?

Needless to say, Emily couldn’t peel the box off the floor.

The “VERY HEAVY” package made it from Venice, CA to Emily’s apartment in Nashville, TN in 3 days without bursting at the seams. Well done USPS, well done. I have slightly more respect for you angry little people (kidding, the only cranky and slow-as-hell USPS workers are in Chicago).
Special thanks to Mac the Intern for dragging this package to the post office and fending off evil-eyes from holding up the line with his special package.


Your Mission Chivers: Go to the USPS and grab a flat rate box and put whatever you can fit inside and send it to theCHIVE offices and we’ll take photos of the contents and do a post. Be creative, but please refrain from sending poop. That’s not cool. And I’m pretty sure you can go to jail for that.
