This is the stupidest item I have ever seen in my life, and it's a top seller. I think people are buying it out of curiosity. It's hard to tell exactly what it looks like from the photograph. Looks like a sphere. It could be just a sphere-shaped spot in the package where something could be inserted if this were that kind of item. But it isn't that kind of item. This, friends and neighbors, is a whole lot of Nothing. Actually, it may be just a small amount of Nothing.

That's right, Nothing. This product is Nothing. It doesn't do anything, because it's Nothing. Nothing actually does Nothing. How cool is that?

Not very, when you think about it, but this thing could spark some really interesting conversations. Imagine it as an office toy:

"What do you have there, Johnson?"

"Oh, it's Nothing, sir".

"Don't you 'nothing' me, Johnson. I can see you have something there, so what is it?"

"Nothing, sir. Really. Something wasn't in stock".

"Johnson! Be in my office in five minutes!"

Yeah, it could get really hairy and weird, like a big pink tarantula. Don't you love having conversations that remind you of a big pink tarantula?

This is actually a pretty cool gag gift item if you want to fake out a friend.

"What did you get me?"

"Nothing".

"No, seriously. What did you get me?"

"I told you. I got you Nothing".

Get it for an ex-friend. It's supposed to be for the person who has everything anyway. Maybe Nothing and Everything like to play together. Maybe they look good together on the shelf. The funniest part of the whole thing, though, is the warranty:

"This product is guaranteed to do absolutely nothing. If something happens, return for a full refund".

Nothing
