What the hell is that? Part 57

1.6.2018

Translation: Eva Francis

Our range is growing constantly. However, some products will have you guessing what it is that you’re looking at. Today's example: a deformed suppository.

Good luck inserting this thing – it’s larger in real life than on this picture. Which makes me think; could this be a huge black wine bottle without cork? Nope. Having said that, it could be used with wine, but that’s probably a bad idea. Could it be a state-of-the-art cricket bat? I’m sure Sir Donald Bradman would be turning in his grave if he read this. Maybe a trompinette, a previously unknown musical instrument? No way.

In fact, this thing also releases air, but it does so (almost) silently. This is Allonge, an invention by d-design, used to humidify your home and add a decorative touch to any room. At least, that’s what the manufacturer says. Anything else? Oh yes, it’s a nebuliser, too. Stick on the adapter and your four walls won’t only become nice and humid, but also smell lovely. Sounds a bit like the slogan for a sex toy to me. Which takes us back to the start and the inserting business. Oh and don’t forget: Filling it with win is at your own risk!

When I'm not stuffing my face with sweets, you'll catch me running around in the gym hall. I’m a passionate floorball player and coach. On rainy days, I tinker with my homebuilt PCs, robots or other gadgets. Music is always my trusted companion. I also enjoy tackling hilly terrain on my road bike and criss-crossing the country on my cross-country skis.
