I know you come here to read about technology, startups, and investments. But the simplest things in life can yield the best returns in pure happiness. I know this is true because Star Trek alum George Takei (Sulu!) says so.
Here’s the thing that made Takei so happy. I hope I find one in my stocking this year. That and a bunch of Apple stock.
It’s the Bubble Calendar from bubblewrap.com. Every day you get to pop a bubble, for 365 little endorphin blasts a year.
Reviews of the calendar are mixed on Amazon.com. The calendar gets either one star or five stars — not many in between. Here are the two most common comments:
Five stars: “This thing is very popular at the office! People come by and try to get “today’s pop”, it’s a little competitive here. I love coming in after a long weekend -I get 3 pops, all mine!”
One star: “I bought one and now am depressed. In only a few short days a whole year had passed. I am getting old before my time….”
Anyway here are the specs:
- Huge! 48″ x 15.5″ (122cm x 39cm) poster calendar
- Heavy Bubbles for a bigger POP
- Easy to read! Weekends bolded for quick reference
- Designed and made in Brooklyn, USA
- The type is set in Helvetica Neue
- The calendars are printed on thick paper (80 pound cover stock)
Could be very good for prison inmates too. Every day wake up, shave, pop another bubble, go lift weights.
