Because nobody wants hot dogs in their stockings.
“Meat stylus”: it’s such a beautiful phrase, we hate that it’s obsolete. You see, for four long winters now, clever smartphone users in South Korea and presumably elsewhere have improvised a solution to the problem of using a touchscreen while wearing winter gloves: sausages.
Yea, though they walk through the freezing streets of Seoul, they shall fear no cold, for they can jab at their smartphones with meaty surrogate fingers. But as much as we love the idea, we have to ask: doesn’t it make your screen all greasy? Isn’t it kind of clumsy? Doesn’t walking around with a sausage in your pocket attract stray dogs and other vermin? And what about vegetarians?
For the price of a package of frozen Jimmy Dean breakfast links, you could be wearing a pair of these Urge Basics Precision Touchscreen Gloves instead. Now, yeah, “precision” is relative: if you really need to do a lot of typing, or really fine pinch-and-zoom control, duck inside a Starbuck’s and take the gloves off. But for scrolling through a mobile web page, or skipping to the next song, they’ll do nicely.
Also on the seasonal tip, if you’re looking for stuff to stuff a stocking, stock up. The price is low. The practicality and gee-whiz factors are both reasonably high. That adds up to a bullseye on the stocking-stuffer sweet spot.
We’re sure these gloves will be more precise, and less greasy, than a meat stylus. Now we just have to come up with a name for them that’s half as great as “meat stylus”. We nominate “Cyberjabbers” and “Pokesweaters”. How about you?
