I wanted to make this post a while ago after I came across Skymall Monday (see below), but laughed it off until today when I saw the Dipr. The Dipr is "a spoon that holds your sandwich cookie while you dip it in milk, coffee or any other liquid that fits your fancy. the dipr also allows you to have a germ-free dunking experience since your fingers don’t have to touch the liquid anymore". A germ-free dunking experience! Here is a Dipr:
Skymall Monday is a collection of the most outrageous gadgets for sale on Skymall, a site, and they also put catalogues on planes. Some are just useless things, but some are quite sad, when you imagine the life of a person who would feel the need to own one. Some of my favourites are:
- The Drib, like a bib that comes down to your knees so you can eat in the car without getting stains on your clothes. "Large pockets on the bottom catch food spills", quite grim.
- The Portable Desk lets you work standing up "or even walking". As the blogger says: "Finally, you can easily type documents, email with friends and surf the internet for fetish porn all while on-the-go. Why not grab your dog or your best gal and take a stroll while you stare downwards at a 45-degree angle and fail to interact with those around you?"
- The Towel-Matic holds a roll of kitchen paper and dispenses one sheet when you wave at it. You still have to tear it off by hand. It costs $60.
- The Solafeet Foot Tanner, erm, tans your feet and your feet only. $230.
