Snarking at Skymall

Has this ever happened to you? You’re sitting at the breakfast table, having your morning cup of coffee. Suddenly, you desperately need to know what time it is! But since you haven’t finished your coffee yet, you just don’t have the energy to check your watch, or pull out your phone, or tilt your head upwards to look at a wall clock. So you sit there, wondering what time it is and doomed never to know.

Well, okay, that has never happened to me. But if it has ever happened to you, your problems are solved!

I have to admit, I actually got the giggles when I turned the page to this product. I’m relieved to know, as the copy proudly announces, that it’s the only one of its kind.

You know, until now, the block and a half that I walk from the subway to my company’s building, and the ride up the elevator every day, all of that was just wasted time.

If you never hear anybody say, “I love hot dogs, but they’re so much trouble to cook!”, then why do we have…

This product, a perfect example of unnecessarily specialized technology, is what inspired me to write this blog in the first place.

“This unique kitchen appliance” 

because nobody else would dream of manufacturing something so absurd,

“lets you easily prepare two hot dogs in minutes” 

as opposed to the old-fashioned ways that take hours, apparently.
