I can see how a bag that you can double as a seat would be handy when you’re waiting in a 2.5hr line at the security checkpoint, or the other 2.5hr line to go through customs.

Also to note that the model shown is not built to fit the airplane carry-on box. But the Zuca Pro travel does.

ZapperClick – I’ve used these, and curiously enough, they actually do work.

What about a personalized airplane seat cover made out of the buddy throw? It’s a great way to avoid awkward conversation with the leering older businessman sitting next to you. And in the really awkward situations, it’ll turn into a vending machine.

ZapperClick – Brandon has explained the principle of peizoelectricity, good. The effect of a high voltage/low amperage ‘Zaps’ on a bitten area are sufficient to inhibit the histamine build-up around the bite that causes the urge to scratch. Serious clinical studies have been undertaken on the principle of the product and found to be effective.

Brandon: You learn something new everyday I guess. Thanks for the schooling on piezoelectricity – the concept’s completely foreign to me. Still a little unclear on how that stops bug bites from itching though.

The rapid expansion and contraction of crystals”? Rrrrrright.

Obviously, someone is unaware of how piezoelectricity works. This phenomenon creates the spark that is responsible for starting fire in most modern lighters that “click” rather than having a spinning wheel striking flint.

I’m not sure what it would do for a bug bite, though…
