Underwater scooter HydroBob
HydroBOB™ allows for over 180 degrees of clear view in every direction, plus other BOB riders and interesting robot creatuers sharing the water with you.
Described as an underwater scooter, BOB™ is a Breathing Observation Bubble designed to allow non-divers the opportunity to enjoy the full experience of life underwater.
The beauty of HydroBOB™ is in its simplicity and ease of use. There is no need for lengthy and expensive dive courses, just a 10 minute briefing and you're ready to go. You don't even need to know how to swim. Pop your head into the bubble, settle down onto the seat, squeeze the trigger and away you go.
Once you're underwater the fun begins. As a BOB™ diver you don't need to worry about buoyancy, depth or any physical exertion. All you need to worry about is enjoying the 180 degree view that the bubble offers.

Mechanically separated chicken
Say hello to mechanically separated chicken. It’s what all fast-food chicken is made from - things like chicken nuggets and patties. Also, the processed frozen chicken in the stores is made from it.
Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve - bones, eyes, guts and all it comes out looking like this.
There’s more: because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color.
Now I'm glad I don't eat that.
