VSSL Gear: 20% off sitewide; 40% off VSSL Flask Silver

like everyone, i have the occassional oddball idea. i tamp it down, because there's no way anyone would pay for it even if i figured out how to build it.

then i see something like the combo compass/flashlight/emergency_beacon/flask and i wonder how many billions of dollars I could have made.

Well, profits are all projections anyway, real sales and inventory movement is the tail end of business. So yeah, your weird idea probably would have netted you income for a few years until the inventory could no longer be sold at a profit.
Ignoring that glaring fact about business, I do not see why anyone would pour ethanol of any quality into aluminum. The idea of collapsible shot glasses is a strange at best and horrible when you consider that alcohol touching aluminum gets the taste of aluminum almost instantly.
This is aimed at woman that are buying men gifts that have never actually used the product, LoL! Flame away...
