Over the Top(pers)

Do you need proof that

(1) we have everything we need as a nation of consumers, or
(2) our scientists and engineers are bored silly?

If so, take a look at Keebler Townhouse Toppers. The Keebler website did not offer a product description, but here's one I found on another website:

"Keebler Townhouse Toppers are crackers that are built for topping, dipping or just munching straight out of the box. Raised edges help tasty nibbles stay put, and a crisp, strong ergonomic construction allows the crackers to hold heavy dips or scoop up hefty toppings."

Seriously? Who uses "ergonomic construction" to describe food? And is the trip from the dip bowl to your mouth so volatile that you need raised edges to help the dip stay put? We're not transporting your grandmother's china or liquid nitrogen. It's bean dip! For the love!

So, here's a question: What other products have you come across that serve as evidence of our nation having everything we need and of our scientists and engineers being bored silly?
