Day 20 - 25 Days of Ridiculous Things I See In Holiday Catalogs

Day 20 -

The beer pager -

So, you put your beer in this classy little holder and then when you set it down and forget where you left it, you can press the button on the plastic remote thing and the holder will make noises and flash a bunch of lights, alerting you to where your beer is (up to 60 feet).  Sounds painfully annoying.

The description tells us that when you click the device, the beer pager "unleashes a satisfying burp and flashing lights".  And just in case you need to see that annoyance in action before parting with your hard earned $20, you can actually watch a video online of how it all works. Thrilling.  Although, depending on how cheap your beer of choice is...think how much more of it you could buy with the $19.99 you didn't spend on this stupid device....just saying -

Anyway, I think that if you drank so much that you need a pager to find your beer, you are probably better off not finding it.  Also, isn't one more likely, especially after a few drinks, to lose the little plastic remote before they lose a can or bottle of beer?  And what if you are not the only idiot at the party using this particular contraption?  Will there not be blinking, burping pagers going off all over the place?  That's a holiday party best avoided.  This item is ridiculous.
