Today is Prime Day, which like most days, is an arbitrary designation invented for the purpose of separating people from their money. Which is fine. Money is good to have, and sometimes you gotta take it from someone else. That’s the way it goes.
You’ve probably been on Amazon already today, looking at some stuff and maybe buying a product or two. But did you know that you could also buy KICKSTARTED products on there, too? Yeah man. You can. And the best part is, they took the Kickstarter part out of it, so you can just buy the thing and then it will come to your house. Pretty good idea, actually. Amazon: a site to watch in 2017.
Here are some of our least favorite. Make sure to click through to see if they got a Prime Day discount or not. Don’t just put your credit card on the computer screen and push it. Won’t work.
Illumibowl Toilet Night Light - $95,000 raised on Kickstarter
Oh cool. A light for my toilet. Which is in the bathroom. Where I also have a light. But it doesn’t make my turds look like toxic waste, so I guess this is better.
Petcube - $319,000
The Petcube is exactly like a normal security camera, except it has a laser in it and I think it can give your dog snacks. Definitely teach your animal that food comes from expensive electronics. Smart.
Exploding Kittens: A Card Game About Kittens and Explosions and Sometimes Goats - $8,780,000
If you’re gonna make a corny ass internet game, the least you could do is have the courtesy to not make 9 million fuckin bucks off it.
Simply Gum Mint Natural Chewing Gum - Non GMO, Vegan - $15,000
Gum. Just…gum.
PicoBrew Zymatic - $1,400,000
“What if beer cost like 100x more than it does now? And tasted like shit?”
PyroPet Candles Kisa Candle - $101,000
For the person with an honest-to-God candle budget and very bad taste.
TarDisk 128GB Storage Expansion Card - $127,000
If you’re about to put out a product that has “Tard” in the title, maybe go back to the drawing board. Or hell, don’t. Worked for Grumpy Cat.
