Vat19.com

So the other day I was just sitting at home watching TV and I kept seeing the same commercial over and over again. It was for Vat19.com. I thought it looked pretty cool and so recently I went online and checked it out. In the commercial it said it was the website for curiously awesome gifts, and it's kind of a true statement.
First let me just say, they have some pretty cool and weird things, but what would you do with them?!

Giant Gummy Bear... On a Stick






What is the reason for this giant gummy bear... on a stick. Yeah it's pretty fun and would be funny to give as a gift, but why? It's like 88 times the size of a normal gummy bear, which means it's like buying 88 small gummy bears for like ten dollars. It would be cheaper to buy the little gummy bears. But of course not as cool! Who wouldn't want a giant gummy bear on a stick! It tastes even better then the little ones! Also available: World's Largest Gummy Bear!





Mini Shopping Cart Office Caddy



This Barbie doll sized shopping cart is perfect for your pens and pencils! In the commercial for it, it says you can even put candy in it! Plus they stack like real shopping carts! Honestly, this seems more like a gift for a little girl to use with dolls. The wheels actually roll, what if all the sudden your office supplies start to roll away. Then what are you going to do?





Beer Pouch Sweatshirt with Hood


Finally! A sweatshirt that can hold my beer and keep me warm! Surprisingly, it's very useful! You can fix your car without ever putting down your drink. Not old enough for beer? Don't worry! The pocket is perfect size for water bottles and soda cans! Now you can do anything you want and never go thirsty!


Insta Snow Powder

To cold to play in the snow outside? It's okay because now that there's Insta Snow Powder, you can have the fun of winter without the cold. What a great idea! Plus, it doesn't melt and will last for weeks! Make sure your moms okay with the blizzard in the living room... and be careful sledding down the stairs.

Now don't get me wrong, these are really fun ideas. But I just don't know what you would do with most of them. I don't think that a drink holding sweatshirt is really practical. Like you can't really run around and play a sport with that, it would spill every where. But this would be a good funny gift to a friend, but only as a joke.

I like gummy bears, but I don't think I would want a giant one. It's just so much gummy bear! I wouldn't want to eat it either. It would stay wrapped up and on display in my house. I know it says it's on a stick so you can eat it easier, but it would be better not on a stick.

I don't know anyone who would want snow in their backyard in the summer, and you probably shouldn't use insta snow in your house. It would be better used for a prank. Like if you wanted to play a joke on your friend, while they're sleeping just fill their bedroom with insta snow. They will definitely wake up confused, and a little worried.

The shopping cart caddy is cute, but it's just another thing to distract you from work! I would be to busy racing shopping carts or rolling it around on my desk that i probably wouldn't get any work done. It's more of a toy then a supply caddy.

  1. I'm SO GLAD you posted this I have never seen the commercial...I guess Tyra's network doesn't show them during her show (so I missed it) but I'm going to buy that gummy bear.
