The world's greatest product

You know those products that you never knew existed but now that you know you can't live without it? My freshman year in high school, it was the iPod. Post-grad, my interests (as you can see in my profile) have gravitated towards things other than digitizing my musical collection.

Enter the Moskito-Finito-- a hand-held, mosquito-zapping badminton/squash racket hybrid. My father received one for his birthday in July and until recently I had not been privy to the Moskito-Finito's full range of mosquito-killing talents. Rest assured, they are unbelievable*. Check it out here**.


*The sound of a mosquito hitting the racket is a thing of beauty. A zap followed by a prolonged and sadistically satisfying fizz. Oh, yes.

** This is the only one I could find online, but I'm told ours was purchased at Restoration Hardware.

  1. I love these things. A few suggestions:

    1) Lick it. I dare you. (You won't)
    2) Try lighting a mosquito on fire with it (you can at least get some good smoke out of it.
    3) Spiders also make for good targets (assuming you're an evil person who would fry a spider)
