Subject: RE: BS: More products we don't need... From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 29 Jan 05 - 11:53 AM After-dinner mints that impart pleasing odors unto one's flatulence. (That's a 50¢ way of sayin' they make yer farts smell good.) They could come in various flavors. I would personally find "New Car Smell" to be particularly enchanting. They could be called "Inta-Mints". No! Wait! That's not a product we don't need! That's a product we do need! |

Subject: RE: BS: More products we don't need... From: Bunnahabhain Date: 29 Jan 05 - 12:08 PM I have a Hammer on a cord. It's a pain if you drop it and have to go to the bottom of the cliff. Especially if there was somebody standing there... |

Subject: RE: BS: More products we don't need... From: Rapparee Date: 29 Jan 05 - 07:37 PM I used to have a wine opener that was a large needle that you inserted through the cork. You then pumped up and down on the handle to pump air under the cork, pushing it out slickern' snot on a doorknob. Now you can get much the same thing, but pumping the handle up and down is too much work or maybe too difficult to figure out -- it comes with a compressed C-O-2 cartridge, forcing you to buy more cartridges. The inkjet printer approach to marketing.... |

Subject: RE: BS: More products we don't need... From: frogprince Date: 29 Jan 05 - 08:08 PM Has peanut butter packaged in ready-made slices come on the market all over yet, or just around here? About the same time I started seeing ads for bread with the crust removed. |

Subject: RE: BS: More products we don't need... From: Jim Tailor Date: 29 Jan 05 - 08:15 PM Bee-dubya-ell, If you were a Bob&Tom devotee you'd know that they had an outrageously funny commercial for "Flatulante'". Available in pill or suppository. What is that? Lemon? mmmmmmmmmmmmmm! |

Subject: RE: BS: More products we don't need... From: Little Hawk Date: 29 Jan 05 - 09:40 PM Ha! Ha! Ha! The idiocy of mass marketing rolls on... the question is: HOW LAZY can the public get???? Is there a statute of limitations on terminal laziness or is it a never-ending process? When will we see drive-in urinals? Some people really don't want to have to get out of their cars for a whizz, after all... When will we see a remote for eating and drinking? You won't have to lift a fork anymore...just push a button, open your mouth, and a little mechanical arm will deposit the food in your fat face! A little mechanical hose squirts the drink down your gaping maw! Only 3 easy payments of $89.99!!! Buy now...pay later! Who could resist? |

Subject: RE: BS: More products we don't need... From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 29 Jan 05 - 09:46 PM Don't know of Bob & Tom, but it's not surprising somebody else would've hatched the same bit of silliness. It's a pretty obvious conceit for any sufficiently deranged mind. |

Subject: RE: BS: More products we don't need... From: Little Hawk Date: 29 Jan 05 - 09:49 PM Yup. Now we gotta find a way to package it, market it, and convince Jill Sixpack that she NEEDS it in order to be popular! |
