Five-Foot Long X-Wing Mailbox
While some postal workers clearly act like they’re from a galaxy far, far away, we’ve had no way to prove this theory correct. Here’s a test. Plant the X-Wing Mailbox in front of your driveway and see how your mailman reacts. If you see a trace of nostalgia briefly cross the usual stony expression of your mailman’s face, it’s clear you’re dealing with an intergalactic traveler. If the reaction is not one of nostalgia, well, he’s probably still an alien.... Continue reading
Bacon-Flavored Envelopes Will Likely Never Make It To Their Destination
From the maker of Baconnaise and Bacon Salt, we introduce Mmmvelopes, the first bacon-flavored envelope. I’m not sure the what the ratio is between postal workers and postal workers who would eat anything bacon-flavored, but even psycho gun-wielding mailmen gotta love their bacon. Just look at Newman for Christ’s sake. You know he’s enjoyed a few pounds of bacon in his lifetime. If you have no intention of your letter ever reaching its destination, these Mmmvelopes are likely the sending... Continue reading
Behind The Scenes At Netflix: How It All Works
Did you think that all of your movies were shoved into those little red envelopes using a huge array of machines? Up until today, we thought that much of the Netflix system was ran by software and machinery, but as it turns out, a lot of manual human labor goes into the Netflix shipping cycle. At the Netflix plant in Northborough, Massachusetts, about 50 employees sort through and repackage DVDs, manually deciding which are fit for recirculation. Employees sift through... Continue reading
Send Your Loved One Some Plane Mail
Forgot to send your nephew his Christmas present for this year? Quickly order one of these Plane Mail postcards to send him and quickly place the blame on the US Postal Service. These postcards are made out of wood and pop out into an easy-to-assemble balsa wood glider. Just like the old days! The best part is that you can write all over the side of the postcard with your messages of love. I’d say this is better than getting... Continue reading
Gmail Unveils Mail Goggles
I had to check and make sure the calendar wasn’t nearing April 1st when I first read about Google’s Mail Goggles. It seems like such a silly idea that I figured someone was just messing with me. I seem to be wrong, though. Mail Goggles is a new feature designed to keep you from sending emails in a drunken state of anger. When you enable Mail Goggles, which is only available during late weekend nights, you’ll have to answer a... Continue reading
GPS Mail Logger Keeps An Eye On Your Anonymous Love Letter
Just because the USPS tracking system happens to be as unreliable as a women’s period with PCOS, you might need a little extra push to ensure your snail mail still arrives at its proper destination. This way, at least it’s the right person who calls the cops on you for stalking. The GPS Mail Logger is just the kind of thing to save you the tracking fee. Measuring only a quarter of an inch thick, and compatible with Google Earth,... Continue reading
GetFramed Mailable Paper Photo Frame
When we send photos to our loved ones, we send them with the hope that they will show the photos in their home with pride, but what if they don’t have any open picture frames? They’ll eventually forget about the photos all together, throwing them in some mildly messy filing cabinet for postmortem separation. GetFramed is a new concept which ships the photo for you, alone with a paper picture frame which can be constructed using the same envelope the... Continue reading
