The most astonishingly bad product I have ever seen

Sorry for the non-UI/non-software post, but I happened upon Dr. McGillicuddy’s website today (don’t ask me how, it’s a long story) and from there found my way to the General Store, where people who survive the awful site design and navigation can buy various merch branded with their favorite budget liqueur. It was there in the Drink In Style section that I found this:

The incredibly awful Dr. Family Ski Shot

The bafflingly awful Dr. Family Ski Shot

It’s the Dr. Family Ski Shot. I guess it’s for the family that drinks together? Or it’s a ski shot designed by Dr. Family? Either way, it’s $59.99. For that kind of scratch, it had better be pretty useful, no? So what would you say it is…you do here, Dr. Family Ski Shot?

From the site:

Line up for shots. The Doctor Shot Ski is designed to let 3 people stand side by side to do a shot. It looks and feels like a real mini ski.

So it’s designed to let 3 people stand side by side to do a shot. Were people having trouble doing that without a schnapps-themed piece of miniaturized sporting equipment?

I am glad to see that it looks and feels like a real mini ski. I was getting really tired of all those drinking aids that didn’t feel like a mini ski. Or look like a mini ski. This one nails that, because, well, it was designed to.

Thanks, Doc!
