Waring Pro deep-fryer, $99.85
Buy a person a fight, they’re entertained for a night. Buy them a deep-fryer, and they’re entertained for a life time. You knew all the best bits of this fight were going to be on YouTube and Vine by the end of the night, but a screen cannot prepare you fish and chips.
Why did you watch the fight? Probably for the bloodlust, if you’re being completely honest with yourself. You can either pretend it’s just for the sport, or embrace that part of your mind and just play Mortal Kombat X. There aren’t many games in which you can rip a person’s jaw off, take a selfie, and post that to a fake version of Facebook. This game has that.
Fake Apple Watches from China, $32.46 each
Why get caught up in the rat race of having the new tech gadget? Let’s be real here, you only need to PRETEND you have one. Owning three fake Apple Watches means you have backups when they inevitably break, and it should get you through the next couple of months while your tech-snob friends are showing off.
If you need to ask why then you clearly don’t know how to live your life a quarter mile at a time.
Fire HD 7, $99
Is it the best tablet? No. Is it the best cheap tablet? Pretty much, yes. This costs EXACTLY AS MUCH AS THE FIGHT and you have a freaking tablet when it’s all said and done. What did the fight leave you with? Regret? Thought so.
