Chirp-Chirp… Tumbleweed

“… and that’s the real different between jam and jelly!”

Every awkward moment deserves a cricket breaking the silence. With theCRICKETtoy 2.0, you can add that movie cliche whenever the mood strikes you. With just a click of the cricket-shaped keychain, add a bit of levity to that too-long pause that punctuates an off-colour joke, unanswered classroom question, or idea-free corporate meeting.

It’s not a tumbleweed gun (which I’d buy, for the record), but a cricket sound machine is just what I need to reinforce the awkwardness of the Monday morning staff meeting. And before you accuse me of being immature, let me remind you about how classier this is than a fart generator. Ok… maybe I could grow up just a bit.

This little gadget is now shipping direct from the producer at a measly $3.99. Of course, for those of us with iPhones, we can pick up the app (which has more sounds) for a quick 99 cents.
