CES 2025 is in full swing, and while the conference features reveals from tech powerhouses like Nvidia, Samsung, and Toyota, it's the weird and wonderful products that are stealing the show. From a robotic cat that cools down your coffee to an electronic spoon that simulates the taste of salt, this year's CES has seen its fair share of unusual innovations.

One of the most bizarre products on display is the Nékojita FuFu, a tiny robotic cat from Yukai Engineering that can be mounted to a mug or bowl and blows air in human-like intervals to cool off your coffee or soup. According to the company, the product was born out of a team leader's desire for an easier way to cool down freshly cooked baby food, which often left him feeling breathless and dizzy.

Another unusual product making waves is the electronic spoon from Kirin Holdings, which uses a weak electric current to concentrate sodium ion molecules in your food, adding a stronger umami and salt flavor to low-sodium foods. The spoon, which comes with a hefty price tag of $127, is designed to help people reduce their salt intake while still enjoying the flavor.

Handheld gaming consoles are also getting a makeover, with Acer's Nitro Blaze 11 featuring a massive 10.95-inch display and weighing as much as two iPad Airs stacked on top of each other. While it may not be the most portable device, it's certainly an attention-grabber.

Lenovo's ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable, a concept laptop with a "rollable" screen, has finally turned into a reality. The device's 14-inch OLED display can unfurl itself and expand into a 16.7-inch panel with the press of a button or gesture controls, effectively adding more screen space without the need for additional monitors or accessories.

Food tech is also getting a boost, with Spicerr's AI-powered spice dispenser that fashions itself as a sort of Keurig machine for spices. The device uses individual capsules that can be rotated through while its AI detects how much spice is needed based on the recipe and dispenses it accordingly. There's also a "freeform" function that gives users more control over their spice levels.

Bird-watching tech is nothing new to CES, and this year's conference sees the introduction of Birdfy's smart birdbath, the Bath Pro. The device uses AI to detect when birds are using it and takes a photo, but there's a monthly subscription fee if users want it to identify species.

For coffee lovers, Meticulous has unveiled a smart espresso machine that features 10 digital sensors to monitor water temperature, pressure, flow rate, and the weight of the liquid in the cup. The machine can make real-time adjustments like a barista, but comes with a hefty price tag of $1,350, plus an additional $250 for its milk steamer.

Razer's gaming chair that warms and cools your butt is another unusual product on display. The system features a self-regulating heater that can reach up to 86 degrees Fahrenheit, as well as a "bladeless fan system" that circulates cool air through the mesh backing.

In a more lighthearted moment, BMW's keynote presentation featured a hilarious photo of comedy legend Tim Meadows looking very small next to a giant coffee cup, thanks to a clever shrinking effect.

In a more somber note, a company has unveiled a $1,500 iPad bundle designed to be a dead man's switch for your digital life. The bundle includes an 11-inch iPad case, a smart ring, an app, and a self-destructing 11-inch iPad Pro that bricks in the case of the user's death. According to the company, the "death protections" include features that can erase your search history, Rickroll your loved ones for eternity, and send out one final social media post to your followers.

Finally, in a prank that's hard to distinguish from a real product, the "resurrected" Enron made an announcement for a fake at-home nuclear reactor, complete with a very CES-style keynote video championing the egg's ability to power a home for 10 years straight and revolutionize the "power," "independence," and "freedom" industries.

Yukai Engineering also debuted Mirumi, its latest charming robot that mounts to a purse and moves its head like a curious baby as it observes its surroundings. The company says Mirumi was designed to "re-create people's joyful experiences" when interacting with a baby as it expresses itself through inquisitiveness, bashfulness, and comfort.

As CES 2025 continues to showcase the latest innovations in the tech industry, it's clear that this year's conference is all about pushing the boundaries of what's possible and exploring the weird and wonderful. Whether these products will make it to market remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – they're certainly generating a lot of buzz.
