In 2013, they envisioned the Play-Doh 3D Printer and the Batman Family Car Decal Set (#orphan #noparents).
In 2014, they duped us with the Unicorn Drinking Horn and the Nerf Nuke (which like, whenever you’re ready, Hasbro…).
And now, ThinkGeek has once again masterminded a raft of extremely creative, absolutely impractical, and perfectly amazing fake products that we all need right now. Starting with:
More than once, we’ve been fooled by ThinkGeek’s products because some of them just absolutely need to exist—like this one. Why clutter your house with ugly scratching posts that look like you were trying to recycle some leftover carpet from your recent remodel? Forget that. Instead, you can let your cats bask in, on, and all over the glory that is this amazing beacon of sci-fi history that will double as some stellar room décor. Thank you, ThinkGeek.
Bubble gum pink is so last year, and Corvettes don’t make you cool anymore—apocalypse-ready vehicles do. But please note: Parental supervision is required, as well as some assembly. Fully loaded with defensive spikes, an integrated dart gun holster, and a survival tips booklet, these vehicles make those Nerf Blasters you’re all so worried about look like NBD, I’d bet. In these monster machines, kids can ride over rough terrain (including skull-laden deserts), which seems more than necessary for babes ages 3 and up. *Slow clap*
Do It YourSelfie 360-Degree Selfie Rig
Get your duck face ready, because this torso-mounted rig can hold up to 12 cameras and even includes an app that allows users to stitch all of the photos together for the perfect Selfie gifs. Best of all? It only weighs 20 pounds (without the cameras). In a world that would surely make Narcissus resemble Mother Teresa, people everywhere will be clamoring to take their selfies to a new level.
Additional BS products include the Steam-Powered Gaming Cabinet, EnCounter: Wearable Interactive Quest, and Game of Thrones Clue (which USAopoly will probably begin production on any day now). Don’t feel bad if these products sounded so amazing you had no idea they were completely fake, because our need for them is real.
Stay safe out there.
