Motel 6 — "50 years, and the light's still on"

Wonderful new commercial, with all manner of Instagram-ish ruffles and flourishes.

Kiwi Guard

Not a member of the New Zealand Secret Service.

From the website : "The Kiwi Guard is a sturdy transparent case that protects the kiwi against bruises it can sustain when brought along in a bag. The Kiwi Guard also holds a handy cutlery set to prepare and eat the kiwi whenever you want. This makes the Kiwi Guard a useful accessory for every kiwi enthusiast."

Hard to argue with that, what?

$6.99 (kiwi not included).
