Let’s cut to the chase…there are some unique, and some would dare say, cool items in SkyMall Magazine. I mean - Santa is on the cover this month - and so is the Slanket (Snuggie’s high-priced cousin from the Upper West Side). So I’m already liking it.
However, while killing time with this month’s issue on my flight home from Nash Vegas, I found some items that even I wouldn’t buy…..and I’m a big fan of anything sold on TV or Home Shopping Network. Sham Wow? Got it. Magic Bullet Express? Had it for years. Snuggie? I own five. Bump Its? Rock ‘em. Mighty Putty. Great for special events needs.
In fact, the items I saw today are what inspired me to create this blog. (What - you thought it would be all about my Kenny (Chesney)? I do have other interests, ya know).
In no particular order, these are my fave items from the current SkyMall issue:
Day Clock. When you just need to know what day it is. Is this for folks on crystal meth? I can understand perhaps forgetting what day it is on occasion (like waking on a Saturday and thinking you have to go to work). But the need for an entire clock dedicated to the days of the week is beyond me.
Solafeet Foot Tanner. Bothered by sock tan lines? Do people really worry about this? Not only can you fix the problem, you can tan your feet while at your desk - or heck, the dinner table or sitting in carpool traffic. I can sleep now knowing nobody has to have white feet anymore.
Portable Neck Traction. Explain to me how a neck brace isn’t already portable? Looks more like a drinking game I played in college. 
Underwater Cellular Phone System. Have you ever wanted to make or receive a phone call while underwater? Well until a pizza can be delivered to me while diving on the Great Barrier Reef, I think not. 
Head Spa Massager. Two words. Doc Brown. But without the flux capacitor. 
Marshmallow Bazooka Launcher. Shoots five full-size marshmallows in 60 seconds, with no manual pumping. I’ll hold out for the semi-automatic. This just doesn’t have the power I need. 
Lastly, this is not a product, but an actual product quote in this month’s issue. Think it’s from a real customer? Keyword is not the name of a product, by the way. Oops.
