This video contains fifteen absurd – yet genuine products which will appeal mainly to lazy people. That is the assumption to which internet wit and trend-spotter, Danger Dolan has leaped. I know that these products are real, because I might have purchased one, and I have seen others on early morning TV and at all of the finer stores.
I’m told that there was a time when inventing a product which would improve lives, and was marketable was a formidable task. It wasn’t smooth sailing for Edison, without whom we’d be watching these videos via a generator powered by a bicycle. I blame the guy who invented the Pet Rock. Next I blame Kick starter, whose optimistic investors undoubtedly helped to finance the highly embarrassing canine ‘PooTrap.’ For all of those responsible for this product, Purgatory was surely invented.
The ‘hands-free Whopper Holder’ must have enjoyed a short life span. Granted, a feedbag for humans is certainly thinking along the right track. People are free to hold phones, drive and graze. Perfection! For those with zero imagination, an electronic ‘Spin the Bottle’ game takes the guesswork out of thinking up ‘Truth or Dare’ questions. Your party is over when the batteries die.
You men love gadgets. That’s why you will want to check out the Urinal Robot, who gives you a hand – or two, while you’re too busy to hold yer own, or something. Likewise, the toilet paper extension arms are the answer to someone’s prayers.
Some of these are good ideas! The electronic pooper scooper for cats is ingenious! It’s neat and tidy, and they love it when a little arm detects that they’ve finished, and have stepped out of the box. It then sweeps the box clean. No muss, no fuss, no odor…Heaven! If there is anything cats love, it’s staff.
I will admit, that when the population climbed to three cats, the workload caused the little arm to suffer a breakdown. It continually swept back and forth, making it necessary for the cat to perform a ‘jump in’ maneuver, much like that of a Double Dutch rope jumper. Sadly, they don’t trust anything electronic now, and I’m back to imagining I’m shoveling sand on the beach – with a clothespin on my nose
Do you have your portable microwave yet, or your electronic twirling pasta fork? Over one hundred thousand people each year by one of the latter! If we Americans can’t twirl pasta, imagine the money to be made if electronic chop sticks were made a reality!
I will stop short of giving it all away, besides, I need to locate some dust mop slippers. Christmas is right around the corner!
