Would you like to “put a beast in your belly”? If you are not scared by this tagline, then you might just be brave enough to actually sip on a new liquor available in the market, The Kraken Black Spiced Rum and it borrows its name from the legendary tentacled beast of the sea. Frankly, we really doubt the presence of the animal inside this high quality spirit but you never know (just kidding)! We are informed that a secret blend of 13 spices were mixed and a dark black color reminding the maker of the giant squid’s ink was obtained, and so the name.
The rum has been distilled in Trinidad and Tobago and it impresses with the Kraken’s legendary strength which is 94 proof. Plus it has been bottled very stylishly too. The maker has kept the whole aura very gothic. A simple glass bottle adorns a white wrap that carries the name of the rum as well as a picture of the Kraken creature in black ink. One look at it and you will get a sense of drinking something that does not belong to the present times.

Attempts to replicate Batman’s super car have been intermittent and sometimes constant if not consistent in the past. But most replicas have been nearly like relics. In the past we have had the $ 1 million Batmobile from Sweden and in 1966 ther was Batmobile recreation by Barrett-Jackson.
You may be in for a surprise when you know, that you can actually own your own authentic Batmobile for a price. The model in question is a 1976 Lincoln Continental which has been price tagged $19,660.
Not limiting yourself to those gasps at visuals featuring Batmobiles in films or television, you may not be able to boast of its coming signatured with original Batman series characters. But if it is something you want to flaunt at your Halloween party and have loads of dollars in your kitty, go for it.
The replica has props such as lipstick-red Batphone and trunk-mounted faux exhaust stacks to go with it as accessories. The vehicle comes close to vintage fancy too. If you are a vintage collector, it has the right tones and looks for an exotic looking four-wheeler.
