The Epicness That Is SkyMall

I'm back! And majorly jet lagged. Apparently when you're jet lagged, you find everything funny. The most eventful part of my flight home was, during my flight from Chicago to Wisconsin, I opened up the SkyMall inflight magazine and couldn't help but wonder what some of these inventors were thinking. The products in there are ridiculous!

Clearly, making fun of these products was the highlight of my day-long journey back to the States, so hopefully you'll find them as I amusing as I did.

Portable Infrared Sauna
I feel so bad for this women because she looks like she's stuck in some sort of tent prison. How the heck are you supposed to get out of this?


The Slanket Siamese
First of all, it's a Snuggie people. Not a Slanket or whatever. It's the exact same thing as a Snuggie. Second of all, I don't care how much you love your significant other, but using this would be like you're handcuffed together. He gets up, you have to get up. He moves, you have to move. I guess maybe it's supposed to bring couples closer together (literally)?


Litter Kwitter 3-Step Cat Toliet Training System
I've never heard of people toilet-training their cats before, so if this is a popular thing, I apologize. I just stared at the magazine for about five minutes in shock. I guess it is a good idea--no more liter boxes!

The 24/7 Self-Cleaning Litter Box
Speaking of liter boxes, the magazine also sells this spaceship thing that looks like it'll trap your cat. What is up with this company, making weird things that make me feel claustrophobic just looking at them?

Porch Potty

Love the fire hydrant...it adds a nice touch. You'll never have to show your dog what real grass looks like, I guess.


The Led Matrix Watch

Just trying to figure out this watch hurt my head. Why on earth would you get a watch if you can't even read it? Even if I knew how the pattern worked, it just seems time consuming to use this rather than your classic analog one.

    1. Yeah I've never heard of toilet training your cat before so it sounds a little bizarre at first, but it would make everything a lot easier. No more liter boxes!
