17 Ridiculous SkyMall Products That You Need to Buy Before It Closes
News broke on Friday that SkyMall, beloved purveyor of bizarre and hilarious products that even the biggest stoner you know couldn't dream up, is filing for bankruptcy, citing distractions caused by electronic devices as the reason for its demise.
Immediately, the Internet erupted with SkyMall-induced grief. People from every corner mourned the news, decrying it as a sign of the times and another piece of evidence that Technology Ruins Everything.
And with good reason: SkyMall is a goddamn national treasure. From its bizarre home décor to its undeniably stylish threads, the in-flight magazine brought us all the things we never even knew we needed.
