82 Clever and Creative Fred & Friends Products

September 29, 2009

I'm sure you've come across Fred & Friend products before at your local indie store and might not have even known it. Last weekend I was cruising around town and stopped at an indie store only to find one whole corner of the place dedicated to Fred & Friend products. It was heavenly. I stood there for probably more than a half hour laughing and checking out all their cool stuff.

A lot of creativity goes into the making of these products, and I think part of that cleverness is shown in the name of the product and the slogan. It's really a hoot flipping through their catalog and I often find myself posing the question: "How in heavens name did they think of that?". Check out this collection I compiled for you guys today and you'll probably find yourself asking the same question.

Which one's your favorite? Tell us in the comments below! And you can also drop me a line on twitter or facebook! I'd love to hear from you! Enjoy :)

Great unique fresh collection of products. I've bought some items from Fred. Why use something borrowing when it can be practical+fun instead. Their products always make me smile.

jaimemh09/30/2009

A lot of great ideas!

Phil E. Drifter09/30/2009

Some cool ideas, the only ones I have problems with are the ice cube trays.

First off, I know (from having a Playboy subscription for about 5 years now, and reading the Advisor every issue) that those 'ice cubes' you use in pictures to demonstrate how the trays work, those aren't real ice cubes. Everyone knows that as ice cubes form air pockets get trapped inside and that's why the centers of ice cubes are white; if you want truly clear ice cubes you have to freeze the ice in layers, which takes substantially longer.

But my point is, those shaped forms that are created in the ice trays, the reason why ice cubes tend to be cubic is because of the stress force created when you twist the tray to pop the cubes out. As with your ice trays here, any superficial ice is inevitably going to be broken off as you twist the tray to loosen the cubes.

David Shantz09/30/2009

Love you mad, mad, mad people....

Forget Amazon - this is my Christmas Wish List!

MissCrys10/01/2009

Phil E. Drifter: Those are all silicon ice cube trays. No twisting, just peel the tray off of the ice.

fab10/08/2009

awesome!! that's just amazing !!

marinus10/09/2009

Best weird thingie i've ever seen came and went decades ago. It was a simple black plastic cube with a toggle switch and a trapdoor on top. One would look at it and of course flick the switch.
The trap door would slowly open and a little hand would come out, grab the toggle switch, and pull it back to its original off position. Then the hand would retreat and the trap door closed. Brilliant!! All human technology summarized in a simple wordless demonstration!
Fool that i am, i didn't buy it. If anybody has seen it recently, please post a link on this page!
