Inflatable Sharpie Pool Float
This giant inflatable Sharpie pool float ($9) is pretty awesome. Not sure if it will hold a person without folding in half, but it is still neat. Since, I am sure, Sharpie has nothing to do with this pool float it is being called a Schnoodle. This Giant Schnoodle is 6-feet long, made of vinyl, […]

Automatic Remote Controlled Car Tent Umbrella
Apparently this is a “thing” as there are multiple manufacturers of this car tent umbrella gadget. I have yet to see one of these car tent things in the real world. For around $239 you can have a remote controlled umbrella for your car. You simply put it on the roof of your car, hit […]
