Overpriced Fun Thing of the Day
Posted by admin under: Equipment .
The OFTD, that really doesn’t work as an acronym, was referenced to me by an overheard facebook conversation (or overread since it was typed). Want a camping bowl that is light and you can mash into a small corner, but then pops back into shape when it is time to use? Thinkgeek.com has just your thing: the squishy bowl set.
The key to the Squishy Bowl set is this: the bowl and cup are squishy (we think that’s how they got their name). You can shove them in a pocket, backpack, laptop bag, belly button (if it’s big enough), and more. They pop back into shape and are ready to go. And the best part is how you clean them – to quote Backpacker magazine, “just turn one inside out and lick it.” Or let an office dog do it.
Isn’t that cool? Flip it inside out when it’s time to clean? I love that. However, my old aluminum set is doing okay for me right now so I guess I’ll wait on the new overpriced gadget. :sigh:
