I'm a big fan of silly toys, and the Food Flippin' Mario from Rocket USA has to be just about the awesomest, most, over-the-top one yet! Based on the famed chef, Mario Batali, the Food Flippin' Mario does just what it says: wind him up and he tosses a pan of spaghetti and meatballs in one hand, while shaking his special sauce (olive oil) in the other. It's quite amazing to watch. Really. See the Food Flippin' Mario in action.  

It's always strange when real life people are turned into toys, and this wind-up wonder has quite an eerie likeness to his human counterpart.

The Food Flippin' Mario will be available at retail stores in July for $15.95, and you can pre-order from Rocket USA. (If only it were available in time for Father's Day.)
