Just Plain Unnecessary: October 2009 Archives

I feel like I've been trashing a lot of products lately, but I could not pass these up.

They are called Phone Fingers, and you're supposed to wear them when using your touch screen phone in order to keep the precious screen fingerprint-free. Now I don't have a touch screen phone, so maybe I can't fully understand how necessary these are. But really, is a smudge-free screen important enough that you walk around with rubber protectors on your fingers? Who has the time to roll these suckers on every time they need to make a phone call or send a text?

If you want to keep your touch screen nice and shiny, I suggest investing in a pair of Ultimate Cloths. They clean tons of surfaces with ease and you won't look lame using them.

The Somen Home Shop is basically a Japanese noodle slide. You put water and somen noodles in the top and try to catch them with chopsticks as they slide down. This takes playing with your food to a brand new level. Too bad there isn't a product demonstration video for this so we could see exactly how it works.

At Vat19, we like to have fun with food, but we prefer to play with the Japanese Food Eraser Sets. And we bet parents thank us for selling those rather than the noodle slide! Oh, and we also have over 250 awesome product demonstration videos for most of our products so you never have to wonder how a product works.
