Behold the Secret Canadian Treehouse

This took me to so many places, emotionally, that I don't think I can talk about it right now ("talk" –> type alone), but here's where you can help them save their precious little ball house.

And here's where you can try to find and raze it. Just kidding. Oh just kidding.

Japanese beer maker Kirin has created a solution to the ever-frustrating warm beer. The company’s new frozen foam topping, Ichiban Shibori Frozen Draft, acts as an insulating lid and keeps the drink cold for 30 minutes. The foam is made by cooling the beer to 23 degrees Fahrenheit, while a machine continuously blows air into the mixture. The frothy, creamy result doesn’t water down the beer when it finally melts, and the beverage also is creamier (immaterial, really, as it shouldn’t take anyone 30 minutes to drink a beer).

Ichiban Shibori Frozen Draft is currently available in Tokyo and will launch throughout Japan in May.
