This year, ThinkGeek's April Fool gag is another product we'd totally buy
Today is April 1st aka April Fool's Day aka All Fools' Day. It is also the worst day to be a gadget blogger, as every product announcement could be a fake. Keep in mind that it is our job to dig up the weird and wonderful and you see the extent of the problem.
Luckily, ThinkGeek has a tradition of fake products, so at least we know where we stand. This year it's the awesome Star Wars Lightsaber Popsicle kit. This fake product consists of four Lightsaber hilts which — when frozen in juice — become four short-bladed Lightsabers. Two hilts are Luke's, two Darth Vader's. There is even an imaginary LED inside each handle which beams its light into the popsicle and makes it glow.
It is, even by ThinkGeek's standards (Taun Taun sleeping bag, anyone?) quite awesome. It's a shame it will never be made.
Or will it? The curious thing about ThinkGeek's April Fool gags is that they create such a demand that the company has to go ahead and make them anyway, making them less pranks and more a kind of clever market research. Fingers crossed that ThinkGeek can get these things licensed and ready in time for Summer, and keeps the price to the currently hypothetical $35.
