What happens when four staffers from The Onion start a product company? You get
Prank Pack, a gift box that will make everyone on your holiday list think you're regifting from the greatest office Secret Santa list, ever.
Each Prank Pack is designed to elicit squeals of confusion and disappointment. The faux products they show seem *almost* shelf-ready, so your giftee will think you took the time to order something special you saw on late-night TV. My personal favorite is the
Crib Dribbler, which is essentially the human baby equivalent of a hamster feeder:
Imagine the fake smiles and thank yous this one will elicit at baby showers! Helicopter parents will not get the joke until they open the box and realize they've been Pranked! Genius. We also received the
iArm forearm device mount, the automated
Pet Petter ("Never touch your pets again!") and the
the Obe'ir Bathe & Brew shower coffee maker. Finally, something to make you look forward to gift giving again!
Rumor has it that you will see Prank Pack displays in Walmarts this holiday season. They might look a little like this:

30Watt masthead. Those funny folks always stick together. And oddly, out of spitball distance…
