These also have the advantage of not being large enough for the drunkards to wear them as a hat after a few too many.

2009-11-19T15:16:16Z

When it comes to strange USB-powered foot warmers from Asia, it would have been weirder if they didn’t make a upside down cat paw version. Still waiting on that hairy Bigfoot version I know must be in the works.
