All the Products We're Sad We Never Bought From SkyMall (and Now Never Will)

Published

We never thought this day would come. True, we’ve never actually bought any thing from SkyMall. And true, we don’t know anyone else who has ever bought anything from SkyMall. But we’ve definitely joked about buying that robotic kitty litter box while flipping through the catalogue (until the flight attendant approved the use of large electronics or the drink cart came around).

But SkyMall has filed for bankruptcy, the first step in what could ultimately be their demise. “With the increased use of electronic devices on planes, fewer people browsed the SkyMall in-flight catalog,” SkyMall’s CEO reasoned.

Which means we’ll never be able to think about buying these products for a second, then ultimately not buy them, but, boy, wouldn’t it be funny if we did?

Worst of all, now all we’ll have to mindlessly peruse while the flight attendant is giving the mandatory safety speech is that in-flight magazine where someone already finished half the crossword puzzle or the actual safety brochure. No thanks.

Anyway, is this the sexiest Super Bowl commercial ever? Watch and decide!
