Space Beer! It looks like this will be impossible to buy, but I'll be on the hunt when I get to Japan...

Via http://pinktentacle.com/2009/12/space-barley-six-packs-for-sale/
"The barley used in the beer is the fourth-generation offspring of seeds that spent five months aboard the International Space Station in 2006 as part of research that Sapporo conducted with the Russian Academy of Sciences and Okayama University. The aim of the research was to study the adaptability and life cycle of barley in zero-gravity and to explore the challenges of achieving self-sufficient food production in space."

Cube Works has molded their creativity with the popular image of the Star Wars series and came up with this brand new product. The most powerful of all the Jedi Masters, YODA, from now will be by your side warding off evil spirits with his illuminated light saber. It comes with an installation CD allowing you to assign keywords to activate reactions such as blush on YODA’s cheeks or illumination of the light saber.
