America’s Obsession With Size Gets Bigger, Weirder

October 19th, 2007 : Nicholas Longtin

I once saw a woman driving her Hummer while wearing huge sunglasses, drinking a 64 ounce Big Gulp and eating a foot-long hot dog. Well, not really, but it seams probable given our preoccupation with all things enormous.

This even appears to be influencing something near and dear to my heart: gizmos and gadgets. So I submit to you, gentle readers, three items of ridiculous proportions spotted at my local shopping complex:

An Enormous Remote Control - STILL nothing good on
Ginormous Remote

A Giant Calculator - can only add to 999,999,999 though
Huge Calculator

A huge Swiss Army Style Grilling Tool - if this fits in your pocket you need to grill less
