Etsy seller brookish7 makes these pizza-slice sleeping bags (with veggie pillows) to order, at $300 a slice.

Slice of Pizza Sleeping Bag w/ Veggie Pillows Deposit (via Neatorama)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

The Snowden Principle

  • http://www.ikaink.net Itsumishi

    Wait just the pillows are vegetables? I thought the whole thing was meant to be a vegetable or have I gotten confused somewhere?

  • mtdna

    Is that a mushroom, or is she excited to see me??

  • BDiamond

    The revolution *will* have pizza!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_Q35X6HG6S6BQWFN5KIHXIHKZOU The Mayor of Awesometown

    The description says “with veggie pillows”, but the US congress says the pizza is a veggie too!(congressional idiots)

  • ophmarketing

    First Congress declared her a vegetable. 
    Then Jeb Bush filed an executive order to keep her on life support. 
    It all kind of went downhill quickly from there…

  • Brainspore

    If you turn the sleeping bag inside out it becomes a calzone.

  • MelSkunk

    So AWESOME! I really want one of those. Even though I don’t need it for anything ever

    Can I get a Hawaiian slice?

    Hurray for Vegan Pizza Sleeping Bag!

  • Bill Wood

    Wow, that’s $300 worth of no leg room.

    • http://www.flickr.com/photos/stefan_e_jones/ Stefan Jones

      You want the Sicilian variety.

    • http://www.ikaink.net Itsumishi

      Wow, that’s $300 worth of extra shoulder room.

    • robuluz

      I won’t hear a word of complaint about the price. It is very reasonable.

      • know1

        Yeah, it seems completely reasonable that a person working for minimum wage would have to spend his or her entire week’s wages on it.

        • robuluz

          OK two points:

          1. You totally need to click on my comment and see where I was going with that.

          2. That said, if you are on minimum wage you are probably going to have to make your own novelty oversize food themed bedding, those are the sort of hard times we are living in.

          • know1

            OK, I did need to click on your comment to see where you were going with that. 

            And sorry about being catty.  I’ve just been paying my bills, (I’m a teacher, so I make close to minimum wage) and the sleeping bag seemed so, I don’t know, precious. 

          • robuluz

            I sure as hell can’t afford it, but I can at least imagine that someone might. My Dad was a teacher, its a great profession, thanks for your service!

          • Guest

            it is, but then again, so is ice cream, or whatever it is you like. :) Teach on. 

        • Guest

          meow meow meow meow. 

  • majutsushi

    Don’t sleep in Troll or Giant territory with that.

  • parrotboy

    Am I the only one who immediately thought of that post a couple days ago with the woman who covered herself in food to get closer to raccoons?

  • Guest

    Adds a whole new layer to the idea of food porn. 

  • caipirina

    so want that .. but I doubt they ship to Addis Ababa .. or it will never get here, because customs will think this is actual FOOD.  @google-ba62aef88a17844cd703db7dbe3fe648:disqus : Good point … I guess my 6’2″ frame will have a bit of trouble in there … 

    But how cool is this? Please also make pepperoni slices and pineapple chunks and lumps of Italian sausage pillows 

  • Radka

    Ok, am I the only one who pictured a whole sleeping pizza of occupy protesters in Liberty Square?

  • Quiche de Resistance

    A manly man don’t want it piled high with vegetables!

  • isopraxis

    Where’d the cheese go?

  • http://twitter.com/chriscoreline chris coreline

    i was going to cast a vaguley filthy innuendo about ‘stuffed crust’, but its too early and i love you all too much.

  • moogtheremin

    Oh wait…wait…I know a joke about that…um, how does it go again…Um, the Dalai Lama…oh shit, hang on, that’s not it…bugger…um…a zen buddhist priest walks into a novely pizza sleeping bag factory and says “Make me one with everything!”

  • bo1n6bo1n6

    I bet washing this thing ain’t easy.

  • http://ampetc.tumblr.com/ Esca Beloved

    mmm… more delicious vegetable shaped sleeping apparatus. YAY CONGRESS UR AWESOME!! 

  • wrybread

    Great idea beautifully executed. The veggie pillows propel it into its own class of awesomeness.

    And for just a second there I thought we were going to have an Etsy product thread without complaints about the price. So close!

  • TheMudshark

    I need to see a picture of a whole pie, with sleeping pretty ladies. Do it.

  • Fef

    Just think how much more appetizing you’ll look to the bears!

  • peterkvt80

    No mention about the temperature rating. Is it four seasons?

    • Nash Rambler

      No no, not four seasons, four cheeses!  Ah ha!  Ha!  Heh.  Hmm.

      Sorry, couldn’t help myself.  Looks to be a ”car-camp, sleepover” type bag, at best.  Also, for $300, I be wantin’ me some pepperoni.

  • Blinkers

    Wait.  No cheese AND no leg room?  I’ll pass.

  • http://www.nathanhornby.com/ Nathan Hornby

    I just had a thought.

    Do you guys have the ’5 a day’ thing over in the US?  By ‘you guys’ I of course mean any Americans that may be reading this.

    Because I’m totally up for eating a load of Pizza every day to hit my 5 a day.  Considering that last week even the vegetables on a pizza didn’t count as one of my ’5 a day’ it’s fun to now think that pizza itself can count as one.

    Seriously though, do you recon that congress knows that the whole world is simultaneously laughing and shaking their head at America?  It’s the American’s I feel most sorry for, firstly because the next generation of children will die before they’re not children anymore, and secondly because the guys in charge of your country are even more batshit crazy than ours (and I live in the UK, we’ve got Boris!).

      I think some of them are vaguely aware that there are other countries.

      • peregrinus

        Yep – Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Soviet Union, China, Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, … ah New Mexico?  The Bahamas, Iraq, Afghanistan, er Iran (can we mention that?), Israel!  Yes, Israel, note to self, … Germany, France, England, Ireland, Italy … London?  Texas!!  Key West, The Bahamas of course, Turkey!  How could I forget!  It’s nearly Thanksgiving!

        D.C.?  Japan … the Pacific … Honolulu … Easter Island … the USSR (did I say that yet?) … Marlborough … Colombia (snort!) …

        How many is that?

        • Felton / Moderator

          Heehee!  I’ve found this tutorial to be very helpful.

        • Guest

          that’s THE Iraq. Jeez. 

  • Tunacorn

    Can I get a meatlovers deluxe with doublestuffed crust?

  • peregrinus

    This comes out just when I’ve convinced my kids the Hungry Giant isn’t real?

  • chgoliz

    No comments yet about the crazy dreams that come from sleeping while on ‘shrooms?

    Cold press coffee means you never have to wait for the water to boil to be functional in the morning.

  • Jenonymous

    Want.  Not sure WHY, but I DO.  I also love her Stuffed Potato Bean Bag Thingy with a Pat of Butter Pillow.  Maybe my rewart to myself for getting off of my ass and finally moving my apartment will be one of these for TV watching. 

    I wonder if she’ll do custom pillows for the pizza?

    Reminds me of my Home Ec sewing project in 7th grade–I made a “burger” set of throw pillows (bun and meat velcrod together, meat had felt onions/cheese/ketchup) and a side of felt fries.

    But this is so much cooler.

    Nobody has mentioned Claes Oldenburg yet, which surprises me. This is like a Claes Oldesnburg consumer product.

    “I never had a problem with inter-racial dating, but it wasn’t until I met Broccoli that the world of inter-kingdom dating opened up to me!” 

    Well, me and Broccoli got married/we got 6 mushrooms and we’re doin’ just fine/way down in pizza-sleeping-bag-land!
