Leo finds a brand new piece of crap for all to share!


Sure you want to lock up your laptop, your GPS, even your smart phone. But do you really want to lock up your ICE CREAM?? Well I guess if you love ice cream, and have to put in an office or home refrigerator where others love ice cream, you just might need the Pint Lock from Ben and Jerry’s. Yes, it a real device and you’ll see Leo demonstrate on this week’s show. Jeff Needles at TWiT found it while pretending to be doing important research. (Actually, I guess this is Important for The Giz Wiz.) The Pint Lock fits over the top of the pint and joins another section that slides over the bottom of the pint. Then the Pint Lock holds them locked into place until the ice cream owner dials in the 3-digit pin. Leo said the pin was 2B8 – as in “to be ate”. I assume you get to select your own combo, or there won’t be much security! There’s a sense of humor about the whole thing because there’s a message on the side of the Pint Lock that reads” I’m terrible sorry, but their is no “u” in “my pint”. It’s available for under $6 at the company website:
