Tape Measure with LED Flashlight $8.97



2-in-1 is a misnomer. Mathematically impossible. If it were scientifically possible to fit 2 items in 1, the result may actually split the fabric of the space-time continuum. (In all honesty, everything I know about the space-time continuum I learned from Back to the Future.) However, this idea has not hindered the idea and propagation of 2-in-1 products. What is it about 2-in-1 shampoo conditioner, Multi-poos, and suicide soft drinks that fascinate our culture? Convenience? Innovation? Nay, I say that what makes this idea great, is the idea that the idea of purity is overrated.

Puritanism, the foundation of America has run its course. Just ask those fringe radical hate groups. Or the teenagers in Wasilla, Alaska. Innovation cannot sustain itself on the idea of improving the same item without introducing new ingredients. It's the basic law of genealogy. Spread the seed. Lord knows I have personally taken this idea to a new level of perversion. And I have the restraining orders to prove it. Anyways I digress. Symbiosis between effective agents will inspire innovation. If only the American car companies and their Unions would take this to heart. However, with innovation comes the inevitability of reward. Or in this case, cash. Mo Money Mo problems.

Everything good has been invented. Everything said has been said better already. Everything written John Grisham has already published. If you want something new, not necessarily better, start mixing it up. And therein lies the paradox. Adding 2 old things and calling them new is an illusion. It's just the convenience and utter joy of having consumed two or more things at once. This should be our country's new motto. "America ... consuming two or more things at once." It should be printed on the flag, right below the Made in China stamp.

Introducing the awesomeness of two super-convenient tools. Ever wanted to have a measuring competition with your friend in the dark? Ever wanted to squeeze a bit more time on the roof to avoid your family? We have your product.
