The Rejection List
The Things We Left Behind in 2011
Most days, we bring you something that we like. But to do that, we have to sift through a bunch of things that we don’t like. Because they’re terrible, ridiculous and/or preposterous products. Consider this the best of that pile.
Alcohol-Free Whiskey
Apparently, it took five years of beverage industry research to come up with this artificially flavored,
completely nonalcoholic whiskey drink. But we say that’s five years wasted, because we’re perfectly
content with the real stuff. Here’s hoping this goes the way of Zima.

Men’s Kilt Thong
Certain things, while fine on their own, should never be coupled. And furthermore, should never be donned by
a man. Enter the men’s kilt thong, which we’re fairly certain no Scotsman in history would ever look
good in. Well, maybe Connery in his prime...

The Thuggie
Instead of a blanket with arms to wear around the house, the Thuggie is basically the love child of a
Snuggie and a comically oversized hoodie. Just picture what Alvin from Alvin and the Chipmunks
wears. And then picture you not wearing this. Ever.

Dead Pet Hair Necklaces
You love pets. Even those Sarah McLachlan ads for the ASPCA make you misty-eyed. But you draw the line when
it comes to taking a dead pet’s hair and making it a necklace. Only way this could be creepier: if you
wore it with a dead pet
sweater.
Facedrink
Between 5-Hour Energy, 6-Hour Energy and Worx, there was no shortage of shooter-style amp-up drinks on the
market. Then, someone decided to add one more to the mix, packaged like Facebook (no affiliation, by the
way). If there were ever a time for a “dislike” button, this would be it.
