cookbook_small.jpgIs dinner ready yet?

Remember the simpler days before interstates when there was no such thing as a fast-food restaurant?

After driving along a two-lane highway all day long and wanting to pick a place to eat, your mother would say, "Look for a place where all the trucks are stopped!"

The trucks have all stopped at The All-American Truck Stop Cookbook, which contains more than 250 favorite truck stop recipes of the three million men and women who drive the 18-wheelers (don't forget the 6-wheelers and cargo vans) that keep America rolling.

In addition, the book pays homage to the romance and true grit of trucking life. It includes colorful stories and scenic side trips through the history of America's trucking industry, including dozens of nostalgic photos of some of the early truckers and their rigs along with pictures of top truck stops of today and yesteryear. - $16.99

truck_wheel.jpgClean them wheels!

Removing grit and grime from wheels can be a troublesome process, but Prestone has introduced a new cleaner and dirt repellant, so brake dust buildup is reduced and wheels stay cleaner longer.

Called Prestone Wheel Cleaner with Brake Dust Repellant, the product offers a two-in-one formula that's safe for all wheel types.

The product is sprayed on, coating the wheel with a repellant that helps prevent future brake dust buildup.  It uses a unique polymer technology to form a durable, yet water-soluble film on wheels that actually delays the accumulation of brake dust.

Any buildup that does take place can be washed away with the spray of a hose, according to a company release.

shower-shock.jpgSoap in a cup?  Coffee on a rope?

Are you one of those groggy early morning types that just needs that extra kick?

Introducing Shower Shock, the original and world's first caffeinated soap from ThinkGeek.

Shower Shock is an all vegetable based glycerine soap which does not contain any harsh ingredients like ethanol, diethanolamine, polyethylene glycol or cocyl isethionate. So it's a gently invigorating soap.

Scented with peppermint oil and infused with caffeine anhydrous, each bar of Shower shock contains approximately 12 servings/showers per 4 ounce bar with 200 milligrams of caffeine per serving. No, we're not kidding and no you don't eat it. The caffeine is absorbed through the skin.

The product is $6.99 a bar, or the price of a couple of designer latte's.
