Banana Boat Bluetooth Speaker
- A 6" ball of loud, water-resistant, buoyant Bluetooth loudness
- In the entirely reasonable event that you don’t need a speaker in the pool with you, it’s a pretty good-sounding mobile speaker for wherever, especially the shower
- Yes, it’s the same Banana Boat that makes suntan lotion: gotta give 'em points for trying something unexpected, we guess
- Model: BBOSPKR100 (for “Banana Boat Speaker 100”, but there are both shorter (BBSP100) and clearer (Banana Boat Speaker 100) ways to say it - this has the virtues of neither)
If you can't buy off-season, buy from someone who did.
As we’ve told you before, it’s Cheapskate 101 to buy seasonal items six months from when most people use them. But what if you missed your chance? What if you didn’t know you couldn’t live without a sunscreen-branded floating spherical speaker until floating spherical speaker season?
If there is such a thing as floating speaker season. Even as we’re dusting off our foam-rubber noodles and shaving our bikini areas, we’re having trouble seeing the advantage in a seaborne speaker as opposed to the conventional landlubbing ones. Through our intense skepticism about the whole goofy idea, we manaqged to depress your expectations enough to fish out some compliments from previous purchasers.
“Sounds as good as my Amazon Echo and it’s portable!” emotes @giantmoustache. “I’m a bit surprised in how well it sounds,” quoth @sohmageek, perhaps ungrammatically but with the heart in the right place. “Love the speaker,” purrs @MrGlass, praising its waterproof loudness for shower use.
Your appetites thus aroused, we then craftily sat on them for months, letting the temperatures rise, letting your thirst build until you have no choice but to buy! No, no way is it just that we failed to find any other way to get rid of them. Everything is going according to plan!
If you’d listened to those wise Mehtizens back in December, you could’ve been all over this speaker when we sold it again in February. Now here it is late May, and you’ve fallen right into our trap!
Fortunately, this is actually a pretty good portable Bluetooth speaker for use in the shower, at the beach, or really, anywhere. Like, say, when you’re out shopping for a cheap snowblower.
