One of the side benefits of having to move my home office to a different room is the opportunity to get a lot of cleaning done. As I was tossing out massive amounts of useless crap, I came across the box that my \<item\> was packaged in. I was just about to toss it (after all, I have \<item\>, what do I need \<item\>'s box for?), when the picture on the front caught my eye. I spent a good couple of minutes staring at it, and for the life of me, I can’t figure out what the hell they were thinking.

So, let’s try this: Here is the picture (with a bit of photoshopping to remove key product info), you tell me: What kind of product came in this box?

I’m also voting for sunglasses.

Or some sort of automotive product, since it looks like you’ve whited out the thing on the windshield. Rain-X, maybe?

Ooh, Ooh, it’s that microphone thingy where the guy drove by in a car and used the speakers to say somehting like,

“Hey, good lookin’, I’ll be back to pick you up later!” to a girl he was passing in the street.

The picture on the box is for the people who actually bought the microphone thingy, so they can see it worked for the guy in the commercial!

What do I win?

By the fact that the cavalier dude in the photo has good control over the windshield wipers, while the gals blithely laugh off any small problem, say like a spill of roadtrip pickled eggs or semen, it’s gotta be [Wippety Wipes](http://www.pacificdrygoods.com/WippityWipes.html).

Wippety Wipes were Chamtastic before the Wow. “It’s Like a Spill Never Happened!”
