As Seen On TV – The Magic Mesh is cool but not actual magic

Published by OneMoreGadget in Advertising, As Seen On TV, Gadget, Great Inventions and Kitchen.

Magic Mesh As Seen On TV

Bare with me on this one, it’s gonna get real meshy. The “Magic Mesh” comes as advertised – a screen door you never have to open, and never have to close. Yup, America’s Funniest Home Videos just had a heartattack. No more videos of people walking into screen doors for us to laugh at.

Or is there?

The infomercial starts off by telling us the Magic Mesh is really cool, and immediately comes clean by confessing that the ‘magic’ part is just a bunch magnets. 18 of them. Nice.

The second best thing is when they educate us on how easy it will be to install without nails, screws or expensive tools. One word. Velcro.

Magic Magic Magic!

When you take the Magic Mesh home, you’ll realize it doesn’t look as good as it appeared on TV. You might also notice that it also doesn’t magically snap back together like it does on TV either. And to top it off, halfway through assembling it, you’ll realize that you didn’t get enough of that Magic Velcro to attach it to anything and keep any bugs out at all. And just about the time you are almost finished assembling it, you’ll realize that you won’t be able to resell this on craigslist.

I can only imagine that teaching a Boston Terrier to make his way through a screen door by forgetting everything it learned about running through a screen door in the first place to be pretty hard. Kinda like Indiana Jones taking that first step on the invisible bridge in the Temple of Doom.

After my laughter subsided I began to wonder if this was actually a good invention, but was immediately distracted by the saddest dog of all time reluctantly using the magic mesh.

Dog and Magic Mesh

All in all the magic mesh is a cool invention, but it will take years of unlearning for us to naturally walk into a screen door without the emotional side effects, thus making this product pretty crappy. But don’t take my word for it.

See the infomercial for yourself.

Perfect for blind dates gone bad, try these really tasty Onion Breath Mints

Published by OneMoreGadget in Canada, Candy, Case, For the Ladies, Gadget, Gift Ideas, Novelty, Packaging and Retro.

Delicous Onion Ring Mints

Okay, so these mints don’t actually make your breath stink. *Breathes into his hand*

Damn.

Didn’t see that one coming. I better take a couple more.

I keed, I keed. These mints are actually pretty tasty. They have the minty freshness of regular mints, but the excellent flavor of onion rings. And unlike onion rings, you won’t be sweating deep-fried grease while using a pickup line on the ladies.

Now I’m not about to recommend popping a couple of these before a first date, but hey, if you are as confident as me, I can’t see it hurting your chances.

Onion Ring Mints Side Effects

Unless of course she doesn’t like onions.

Each tin of these super delicious and highly addictive Onion Ring Breath Mints comes with 100 mints inside. That’s roughly equal to the flavor potency of an entire Onion!* All packed into this super cool tin to boot!

But don’t take my word for it. Go ahead and give ’em a go and offer one to your date too. These Onion rings taste so good it will probably be the first of many rings to come.

Side effects may vary.

█♥█ Stop lingering and get them in Canada from Shits N’ Giggles right here!

Or make the postman walk these mints to your door in the states.

*A guestimation based on my vast Onion experience.

The perfect centerpiece for a block party, XYZ Alphabet Blocks

Published by OneMoreGadget in Canada, Classic, Design, Gadget, Gift Ideas, Novelty, Packaging, Retro and Toy.

XYZ Alphabet Blocks

These blocks are the anti-abc’s. Forget the apple, forget the banana, just throw your old ABC’s out the window and get with times! These XYZ blocks are a real conversation piece and excellent for transforming a square party into something with a bit more dimension. A is for Afro. Now that’s more like it.

The whole set is completely filled with fun retro illustrations of Numbers, Letters, Moods and awesomely Illustrated Words. And to top it off, it all fits in this perfect little table tray so you can neatly put them on display. And they look a heck of a lot better than my left over hungryman dinner that’s been sitting in this table tray for weeks.

Somebody should really do something about that.

Anyway. XYZ blocks are definitely starting a whole new cubist movement. Even Dale from electronics is talking about how his favorite block is the “U” for Underpants.

I asked him if it’s because he always wears his tighty whiteys – he told me he wasn’t wearing any. Thanks Dale from electronics, you’re a real chip off the ‘ole block.
