Ok I just typed it into YouTube thinking I might find it and there it was!! The original commercial showing some quality close-ups of this insane satisfaction factory in action. It borders on obscene….obscene satisfaction, that is. Enjoy!

Modeling clay is one of those craft items that it could almost go unmentioned because it’s so inherently awesome that you just take it for granted. This wonderful, malleable substance provides hours of satisfying fun, no matter what you’re making with it. If you’re a more hard-core art student, you might have the chance to […]

I’ll be the first to admit that I neither enjoy nor particularly understand the appeal of Anime. My love for videogames runs deep and I will say that I’ve encountered plenty of Anime-style characters, but I’m not one to sit down and read Manga or anything. That said, I think it’s pretty clear to Anime-lovers […]

There comes a time in your life when you get a bargain - a really, really good bargain. The best bargains happen when you weren’t expecting them at such magnitude. Old Navy is famous for providing this unsuspected wicked satisfying experience.
I’ll admit, I don’t really shop at Old Navy that much. Their clothes tend to […]

There are few satisfactions in videogames equivalent to that of the Tetris.

You know all of those grilled cheese commercials tout how good cheese is for you, particularly if you’re a kid because of all of the calcium and vitamins, and whatnot, and as they’re telling you how great it is, they hypnotize you with that much anticipated shot of someone holding the steaming sandwich, pulling it […]

One surefire way to make something that would otherwise be ordinary into something wicked satisfying is to make it smaller. I’m not sure why, but it just seems to work out that way. Cake -> cupcake, standard stapler -> mini-stapler, tree -> bonzai, you get the picture. Well it just so happens that toiletries are […]

Frosted glass is one of those things that, when you see it, you just want to touch it. Think back to the fond days of being dragged into Hallmark because your mom needed to pick out greeting cards, feeling bored and hungry, wandering over to the candles to smell them all, and being told “look […]

Peeling a vegetable or fruit with a peeler is wicked satisfying for a lot of reasons. First, you have your whole item that’s just waiting to be peeled. It’s best if you have a nice dirty potato because you can fully appreciate each swipe of the blade as it exposes the shiny clean potato underneath. […]

You may recall from the Volkswagen entry that I mentioned that things that look like candy are satisfying. There’s not much to not be satisfied by with candy-like qualities. Well, electronic accessories are no different. In this ‘iPod generation’ that we’re being stampeded by, it’s hard to find somebody who doesn’t have headphones jammed in […]
