CVS Wonder Products

In case you were looking for extraordinary hearing, without choosing to roll around in toxic waste and hope for the best, there is apparently an option for you...

The Loud 'N Clear, as seen on TV.  You know, in case you can't hear shit.  The list is endless, or as it's put on the front of the case, quite concise.  Theater, Plays, Church & More!

Exactly NONE of those things I would like to be able to hear any louder than I have to.  Church - I'm set with not going, thanks.

If they advertised this as a super-sleuth espionage tool, I'd be fucking down.  Doubles as a bluetooth.  Fucking sign my ass up.  Triples as a laser pointer, GTFO!  Let's see what other crap you can find at your local pharmancy...



I think all these products are designed for old people, but the problem I see is with the advertising - infomercials for these products are all on super late at night and end right before the news begins at about 4am, which is the time that any good senior citizen is contractually obligated to rise from their potentially eternal slumber.

In a more serious note, what exactly do you need a magnifier to see insects larger for?  90% of society sees an insect says "Ew, kill it!" and the 10% that might actually want to see an insect up closer aren't looking in the CVS for their tools.  Probably could have had a better selling point to start with than "Insects".  I would have expected "Newspaper" or "Books" or something, but hey, that's just me.
