How To Make Friends On An Airplane

Why do people keep on creating the most ridiculous products and why do consumers continue to encourage this nonsense by purchasing them?  And CNN doesn’t help by running segments showcasing them.

The extra large Snazzy Napper is a “sleep and privacy shield” for your eyes that doubles as a blanket.  OK, so it’s a Snuggie with an eye patch.  The original version however is just an eye patch with a bib.  News flash, though, this product already exists and has been around for over 1,800 years...it's called a burqa.  You gotta see this.




I love the part at the beginning where the woman puts on her Snazzy Napper while sitting in between two men who don’t even flinch.  Not only would the woman freak me out if I was sitting there, I’d get up and move.

The creators of the Snazzy Napper have at least tried to wedge it into the world of social media.  They have a Facebook page, a YouTube page and they’ve taken a Dominos approach to their product, asking consumers to photograph others they see wearing the Snazzy Napper and post it to YouTube or Facebook for a whopping prize of $100 and a free Snazzy Napper.  I don’t know if they’re hoping consumers will actually look for someone wearing one or buy the damn thing just to photograph it in hopes of winning the measly hundred bucks.  So far they have two Facebook posts and zero on YouTube.

I’m pretty sure we just found this year’s Christmas re-gift.
