SkyMall Monday: InstaCloth & the horrible videos it inspires
I've written about hundreds of SkyMall products and probably looked at thousands over the years. Lately, however, I've also been scouring YouTube for videos of the products. You see, I find video demonstrations of SkyMall products to be mesmerizingly awful. Never, though, have I been so enraptured by the videos for one product as I was this week while researching my next SkyMall Monday review. While I was unable to find any official video produced by either the manufacturer or the good people at SkyMall, I was very pleased to discover three unofficial videos that serve to educate, entertain and perplex viewers. So, this week, rather than enduring my ramblings about a SkyMall gadget, I encourage you to sit back, relax and allow those who are more intimately familiar with the product show you how to use InstaCloth.OK, first some necessary background courtesy of the product description:
But, I digress. This post is about the videos. To start things off, let's see a demo of InstaCloth hosted by a monotone gentleman who has no idea how to emote when something is "amazing."
Well, that was informative but entirely too well lit. What if some presumably high teenagers demonstrated the product in a basement during a blackout?
That towel will come in handy when the flashlight dies, that kid trips over his bong and needs a sling for his broken arm.
Lastly, all SkyMall products need to be tasted to be believed. Surely that's why this girl popped an InstaCloth into her mouth like it was a Mento.
I think it's best if we just pretend as if that video never happened...and that InstaCloth doesn't exist.

If there's no washcloth in your hotel room, I question whether you might have tried a little too hard to save money on your accommodations. And frankly, when I add water to something, I want it to become a dinosaur.No washcloth in your hotel room? No problem. Just splash a little water on these 1" diameter tablets and they unfold into full-sized disposable white wash cloths.

It's been a while since I popped over to read one of your posts and have a good scream.
This was quite the re-introduction to that whole vibe.
"Thanks", Mike.
Also, the guy in the first video is *clearly* a Terminator. We'll look back, as the bombs rain down from SkyNet satellites in orbit, and we'll think "Instacloth, you could have stopped him. But you blew it. Like you blew everything else."

I wish I could hug this comment for an awkwardly long time. Cheek to cheek.
