For those who read my blog, you will be familiar with my periodic poking fun at the Sky Mall catalog. This print catalog is filled with ridiculous and often bizarre merchandise. Considering I sat through six hours of flight delays on my trip to NYC last week, I had plenty of time to peruse the catalog’s latest offerings.
The item that caught my attention and had me scratching my head thinking “Who is buying this?” was the NetChef v2 that retails for $279.99. I suppose it is great that it comes with 500+ pre-loaded recipes, but why not buy a tablet and prop it in the kitchen? I’ve done this many times and can assure you bookmarking your favorite “how to videos” or recipes is quite easy.
The other item in the catalog that had me scratching my head was the Rednek Party Cup that retails for $12.95. My initial reaction was, wouldn’t a redneck make these rather than buy them? And who would buy these for a gag gift? I’m not familiar with redneck / hillbilly themed parties but maybe they are popular in other parts of the country. I’ll admit I’m out of my depth here so I may be out of line.
Do you find these types of items ridiculous too? You can see what other items have caught my eye in my last Sky Mall post from the 2012 Sky Mall holiday catalog.
