Let There Be Light: Building a brighter mousetrap
They say necessity is the mother of invention. Herewith I make the case that this maxim needs revision.
Here are some new products that incorporate flashing LED (light emitting diodes):
Toy floating duck
Plastic knives, forks and spoons
Wineglasses
Flipflops
and perhaps the most frightening visual, a flashing mouth guard

Love the duck, want one; but the rest kind of creep me out. I'm sure I'm moments away from seeing the flipflops on the streets of NYC, but why would one want a flashing mouth guard?
ReplyDeleteThat duck IS kinda cool. I guess the marketing principle is that people will buy novelty. Maybe a flashing mouth guard is an extension of mouth jewelry like grills. People and bowerbirds must share some genes.
ReplyDeleteOkay, that flashing mouth guard is going to show up in a horror film. I guarantee it.
ReplyDeleteDracula with flashing fangs!!
