An Example of Simple Winning

Can you guess what that weird looking thing is? Here are some facts about it:

  • It cost $19.88 and has a 4.5/5 star rating on Amazon.
  • It is about 2 ½ inches long.
  • It belongs in the bathroom mirror cabinet.

Rollover for answer:

It’s a nose hair trimmer.

 

Alternative products:

  • Are far larger, more cumbersome, and feel cheap
  • Need to be plugged into an outlet
  • Have motors and little parts that can break
  • Don’t do any better of a job
  • Are relatively expensive

This product:

  • Is really small, yet feels sturdy and well made
  • Has only one moving part, it rotates
  • Would be really hard to break
  • Works very well
  • Is relatively cheap

Simple wins here, in every conceivable way.

Oh and yes, nose hair trimmers are gross. But not as gross as having nose hair.

    I don’t know whether to laugh that you just wrote a review on nose hair trimmers, or thank you because you just did a review on nose hair trimmers. Maybe now I can retire my scissors. Thanks Chris!

    Oh man, you deserve a blogging prize for this! Fortunately I don’t need one of those… yet; but as I get old my hair nose grows, and I think there’s no CSS code that can address this :)

    Greetings from France, Chris,
    I enjoy your manner of “clear-thinking”! BRAVO, I really love it!
    But, if can I ask you, Chris, it’s me which have such a “big” problem with my sight , or it’s here something not good with your choice of the Font?

    P.S. sorry for my médiocre english, I make all possibles to be better! :-D

  5. lol, very nice…

    I have to say though, that thing looks disturbingly sinister and quite painful.

    The things we do for beauty eh!
