New iPad Prank for Really Geeky Gift Givers
iArm Forearm Mount clings to iPads, remote controls, dinner plates, more!
With all the iPad paraphernalia out there, could there possibly be room for one more innovation?
Apparently so.
30 Watt, developer of prank gift boxes, now has a box for the iOS generation. The box shows a product called the iArm Forearm Mount -- basically a wide strip of Velcro that wraps around the arm, clinging to iPads, remote controls, sandwiches and any other item with a matching Velcro strip.
Ha ha, it's a gag. There is no iArm inside. Instead, the gift recipient is greeted by a bright yellow sign declaring, "Prank You!"
Prank Packs are gift boxes that look like the most ridiculous products imaginable. The gift giver places a real gift inside the Prank PackTM. The hapless gift recipient is forced to wonder why the giver would buy such a strange and awful gift. Sometimes, the recipient looks confused. Other times, they just lie and say that it’s great. Eventually, they open the box, notice the bright yellow flaps that include “Prank You!” and realize that it was all a joke.
Hilarious.
The Prank Pack Genuine Fake Gift Boxes sell for $8.00 each, plus $5 shipping.
I confess, I do like the Beer Beard secret beverage dispenser and the self-propelled Motorized Rolling Pin.

Oh no, I didn’t mean to encourage our readers!
Sorry Julie, but you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube! ; > )
The first link, prank gift boxes, has a typo in the hyperlink ( http://www.parankpack.com/ )
Thanks, Noel. Fixed. I’m sure the bad link frustrated thousands of our visitors!
Couldn’t you just use Vizio or Sony boxes as gags? Plenty of those floating around.

Ooooh! I’ve got a practical jokester friend who’s definitely getting one of these for Hannukah this year! Thanks Julie.
