I’ve never seen sunglasses sold in a box. I’m also thinking it’s not a consumable product, or you wouldn’t have saved the packaging in the first place. And I read _“for the life of me, I can’t figure out what the hell they were thinking”_ to mean the picture has little or nothing to do with the actual product. So my guess: Wireless router. ---

Very perceptive on all points (although they do sell sunglasses that come in a box – they just sell them for a price that I would never pay for sunglasses, no matter how many lotteries I win). Your guess is incorrect, but your analysis is spot-on. It seems to me that the manufacturers just chose a random picture of various Americans having fun, and decided that would be in the spirit of their product. Or something. Either way, I’ll let the guesses run until 5:00 Eastern this evening (24 hours should do it). If no one has guessed correctly by then, I’ll give up the answer. ---

I was going to say sunglasses too, but since that seems to be ruled out… …car wax. Or some other car accessory that will make your ride a Babe Magnet[sup]TM[/sup]. Or there’s the old standby: beer. ---

Nope, it’s not a GPS, and it’s not manufactured by that company. Guess they both go to the same “Book Of American Happy Fun Pictures” for their graphics, though. ---

😃 Shhhhhhhhh, **GuanoLad**. Don’t tell. > [@Hal\_Briston](#): > > Huh…interesting. Nope, it’s not a GPS, and it’s not manufactured by that company. Guess they both go to the same “Book Of American Happy Fun Pictures” for their graphics, though. To be precise, a stock-photo company called “[Inmagine](http://www.inmagine.com/is654/is654066-photo),” where we see the car is right-side drive. The product is not going to be anything we see in the picture, that much we can be pretty sure about. ---
