Buy your (crack) vials at the Container Store

So LeAnne and I made an excursion to the Container Store Sunday, and left empty handed, although we did see many nifty, albeit terribly expensive things.

First and foremost, there was the E-Z Reacher®.

Just look at it? Isn't it marvelous? Isn't it everything you've ever wanted? Doesn't it kinda remind you of the finglonger (scroll down to it)? Just compare them.

Now, if only it were affordable ...

Then there were these.

I want the panda one. That'll teach all those pandas out there that don't procreate! I'll just put trash in them! Yeah! That'll show 'em! Right?

I think one of the more memorable items that baffled us both were the vials.

What's more disturbing is that on the Container Store website, these vials are classified under Kitchen->Food Storage. And then the copy says they're tradtionally to store pharmeceuticals. Oy.

And what can you store in there? The product copy says you can store oils and extracts, but I think the lovely Container Store worker who saw us marveling at the vials hit it right on the nose &mdash use them to store crack! Or cocaine, even! I think this could be a real market to corner. I mean, think about it. You could go buy all the vials in the store and then go down to where all the people buy their crack or coke and say, "Hey, wouldn't you like something a little easier to carry all that in? Here, let me help you out."

Now that, my friends, is a business venture. Oh my, yes.
