My brother asked for battery powered socks this year. I did due diligence and tracked them down, but when I found them I also found some really negative reviews. Apparently they don't actually keep your toes any warmer and the battery weight drags the socks down in an annoying fashion. Rather a predictable result in my opinion. I called him up and gave him the low down on the socks and he still wanted them! "Yeah," he said, "it just kind of the fact of having these weird battery powered socks that appeals to me, I mean who has battery powered socks?"
Are you like my brother? Does gimmickry attract you? Are you willing to pay hard cash for a dubious item that only provides a certain level of exotic exclusivity? If so I may have the perfect gift for you. Behold...
Designer Toilet Paper by Renova.
Renova is selling
what they claim is the first "fashionable" toilet paper, available in four designer
colors: Black, Red, Orange, and Green. They've clearly hired a copy writer of great genius, for their description of the product is incredible: "A
voluptuous texture. Colors for an outstanding style. A warm mystery in
every single olfactive moment. Soft and glamorous...A paper full of
pleasure."
Other highlights of their decadent butt-wiping product?
- It is made of 100% biodegradable virgin pulp and is entirely recyclable.
- It has been tested under dermatological and gynaecological control.
- The product is 'non toxic' and 'soothing.'
- Abnormal flushing characteristics have not been detected.
Sounds like a must have! Unless you're using Cleanbutt, that is...
