Aries – The bubbling, ashen grey solution in the rounded bottle with the brown cork and the leather cord around its neck
Aquarius – The light blue to dark blue draught in the square bottle with the brown cork and the rope around its neck. You can’t help but notice the dried blue flower petals on the shelf under it.
Virgo – The shimmering pink elixir in the perfectly round bottle with the tiny neck and a brown cork the size of your pinkie fingernail.
Pisces – The glowing lavender-blue concoction in the pointed bottle. It is attached to a cord, as if it would be worn around your neck.
Sagittarius – The minty smelling brew in the squat purple-black bottle. It has a crown-shaped cork, but you can still see the tendrils of mint scented smoke wafting from it.
Gemini – The bluish green mixture in the fat sea glass bottle with twine wrapped around its skinny neck. Fish netting is wrapped around the body of the bottle.
Cancer – The translucent blue decoction in the tall bottle. The burning stub of a wax candle reveals the floating purple bubbles within it.
Taurus – The gritty, metallic red liquid in the salt-and-pepper shaker shaped bottle. A ring is attached to the metal top that connects to a chain, so that it could be a bracelet or a necklace.
Leo – The bubbly lavender tonic in the upside-down jar. Several glossy orange flowers float about in the mixture, and the moonlight from the window hits it and reveals silver particles in it.
Libra – The tall, glossy black bottle with the crescent moon cork. A sour smell wafts from it, and a tiny skull sits next to it on the shelf.
Scorpio – The bloodred potion with tinges of black in the sharp heart-shaped bottle. A broken heart is carved into the wall behind it.
Capricorn – The half-empty bottle of a greenish-black infusion. The cork is broken, and cord is tied in knots around the neck of the bottle.
I tried to start a revolution, but I didn’t print enough pamphlets so hardly anyone turned up… Bit of a promotional disaster that one, but I’m actually organising another revolution. I don’t know if you’d be interested in something like that? Do you reckon you’d be interested?
While I’m sure there are people too lazy to spin a fork, keep in mind people like this person who may be suffering from arthritis or a neurological disease or nerve damage or a thousand other conditions that might impair their ability to do things as simple as spin a fork to eat spaghetti.
These are used with people who can’t grip well:
This is for Parkinsons’s:
For people who can’t even bend their joints:
Here’s a product that guides your hand from your plate to your mouth
This one holds a sandwich
Like I get it. I used to see things like the fork and think “that’s fuckin’ lazy” or that product that holds a gallon and you just tip it and pour. But then I started working around the disabled and impaired and found out that these products aren’t meant for lazy people, they’re meant for people who need help.
So maybe next time you see something, instead of thinking “Wow, are people that lazy?” just be grateful that you’re able to do the things you do every day and take for granted, like being able to feed yourself and wipe your own ass because you have enough coordination and bendy joints to do it.
This isn’t specualtion either; the majority of products from commericals that we think are funny or silly are autally MEANT for hte disabled.But they are marketed towards the abled because the disabled aren’t considered a viable enough demographic on their own.
the Snuggie for example? Created for wheelchair users.
This is actually really nifty.
oh my god of course the snuggie was for wheelchair users
The fact that anyone buys these products besides disabled people drastically lowers the price of them. These would normally cost hundreds if not thousands if dollars. Because if spent time and money creating it, the company wants to get more than that back. And they can’t do that if they sell and market these primarily to disabled people for $20-$40 a piece or whatever. They’d lose money on production. If they can sell hundreds of them to everyone, they can lower the price drastically and therefore disabled people don’t die while trying to scrape up the money to buy these things and be a bit more independent.
I never considered that last part and that’s actually genius
