Cheap Keychain Battery Eater Voice Thingy

100_3422.JPGSomeone gave me this, perhaps as a stocking stuffer. I'd never buy this. I'd buy it if it made fart noises and was a slop orange color and "Dr. Fart" was written on it because that I would have a use for. No, after you insert the multiple button cells that power this nifty device, you then get about 30 seconds to make a voice note to yourself. Then, the batteries would die out and you'd put this POS in a junk box.

100_3423.JPGYou got about 8 BIT fidelity. You could leave any note you wanted on this thing. "Remember to pee before you go to the douche store." "Bring home 14 cheeseburgers and a litre of gin for grandma." "MooooOOOOoooon Rivvvverrrrrrrr, Whew. You using the whole fist doc?"

100_3425.JPGHere was the business end of this thing. I suppose it would have some use today and may come in handy for quick reminders. But think of this... In the 90's there weren't dollar stores on every corner selling 16 pack button cell batteries for $1. When the batteries were at least $2 for just one, well, to fill this cheap junk with juice that might last 3 months at the most seemed silly when there was a 79 cent cheeseburger to consume.  So, this novelty item was forgotten. I should get it running again now that I remember I have it and button cell batteries are so cheap. I don't have a smart phone with a memo function, so this might come in handy. Nahh, too much confusion between this and my keyless car entry device. Besides I don't want to sit down in a business meeting and cause this thing to say "awww yes aww yes yes YES! YES! Auuuuuuggghhhhhh!" Hahahahahahaha. Junk Blog.
