Popsicles With Hidden Prizes - Frozen iPods
Brazillian ice-cream manufacturer Kibon has redefinded the cool factor in marketing and promotions. After racking their brains to come up with a new way to give away prizes (for decades they'd had prizes printed on the popsicle stick), they came up with a way to put the prize inside the frozen treat.
Not so simple when you consider the prizes to be given away: 10,000 iPod Shuffles. Bullet Brazil, the company that came up with the idea, had to find a way to protect the ipods from humidity, while keeping ice-cream lovers guessing which packages actually hid a prize inside. So they developed a look-alike, feel-alike fake ice-cream - a popsicle, if you will. Apple were initaially skeptical, until they saw that the prototype could protect the iPod's circuitry against temperatures of between -4 and -22 degrees Fahrenheit - which is how cold a standard freezer gets. After a never-ending number of tests, Apple were convinced and green-lighted the promotion.

Now Kibon's "ipod no Palito" is ready to roll out on December 18, just in time for the Brazillian summer season. consumers simply buy a Fruttare popsicle in any of its 10 flavors, and may find a iPod shuffle hidden inside, ready to play. An 800 number and a code are given to the winners, allowing them to claim the manual and the charger. They also get a free popsicle with the package, in the same flavor as the fake one.

Ulta-Light Folding Bike - The A- Bike Breaks Records
Named after the shape of its telescopic black-and sliver frame. The A-Bike designed by Sir clive Sinclair is the lightest and smallest folding bicycle in the world. Weighing 12.6 lbs (5.6kg) and claiming to fold down in under 10seconds, the A-Bike could be a great bike for certain people. "The principle use for the A-Bike is city or town tracel over relatively short journeys but also very much for mixed-mode journeys where your're hopping on and off a bus or a train. For example a typical communter needs to get from home to local station and then from destination to his or her office - and all without any worries about protability, parking or security".
