The Thinnest 20 Card Wallet

Doubling the number of cards that can be carried in a typical wallet, this is the thinnest leather wallet that can store up to 20 cards. Its patented twin pair of nested pockets places cards in a flat, efficient side-by-side arrangement, eliminating the excessive bulk present in common wallets.

Two additional slots in the interior hold cash and receipts. Perfectly balanced with five cards per pocket, the wallet folds to a thickness no greater than 1/2″ and the break between the two pairs of card slots allows it to flex naturally when in a pocket while sitting. Handmade in the U.S., the wallet is made with both a soft, full-grain cowhide leather interior and exterior.

FDA Warns Against Too Much Black Licorice

For adults age 40 or older, the FDA says, eating 2 ounces of black licorice a day for at least two weeks may lead to arrhythmia, or irregular heart rhythm, which could land you in the emergency room.

The culprit is glycyrrhizin, a sweetening compound derived from licorice root. In large amounts, glycyrrhizin can cause the body’s potassium levels to drop, which in turn, may lead to abnormal heartbeat and high blood pressure. It can also cause water retention and swelling, which is a particular risk for people with congestive heart failure.

The Illumicube

This clear acrylic cube is filled with 64 multi-colored LEDs that systematically illuminate in millions of different combinations, producing a mesmerizing light show. The LEDs generate 4,096 different colors and they illuminate in unison or in succession with the same or contrasting colors, creating a continuous cycle of visually captivating light patterns. All 64 LEDs may emit a vibrant crimson hue and then slowly fade to magenta, each row may illuminate in succession to create waves of rolling light, or the LEDs may light-up one at a time to produce a flaring, twirling light streak.
