Sci-Fi Spice Shredders

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Death Star Herb Grinder Destroys Planets and Herbs

— October 15, 2013 — Lifestyle
Every nerdy chef needs to put the Death Star Herb Grinder on their wish list. This herb crusher instantly pulverizes any type of spice or herb and can instantly destroy a planet -- Okay, that last part wasn't true, but you get the idea. Etsy merchant Pyroteeze makes these Death Star Herb Grinders by hand using polymer clay that is non toxic.

The Death Star Herb Grinder is a little bigger than a baseball in size and safely snaps closed using a magnet. While it's designed to be used in the kitchen, chances are that some folks will find another use (one that may be illegal in certain states) for this geeky herb grinder. This herb-grinding Death Star is currently selling for $22 in Pyroteeze's Etsy shop.

2. Handmade Polymer Clay Items - Opportunity to cater to the demand for eco-friendly, handmade goods in the market.
