Micro sonic grenade for $5

NewImage
From one of my favorite blogs, $5 Finds: a Micro Sonic Grenade.

Want to scare the living crap out of somebody? Well nothing better than a grenade explosion sound at 110 decibles. You can set the “explosion” timer to 5, 30 or 60 seconds then BOOM it happens. Battery powered and ready to scare.

Behold! The evolution of the Whoopie cushion. Instead of an embarrassing flatuation, surprise your friends and neighbours with a heart jolting blast of terrific a explosion. It’ll be a blast at any occasion.

It’s gonna be hilarious till some ass hat does it around a combat veteran and catches him off guard.

To paraphrase and old anti-war slogan, “Micro Sonic Grenades are not healthy for any living thing”. Seriously, consider traumatized vets, traumatized civilians, and traumatized animals. This is worse than shouting “fire!” in a theater. “Scaring the crap out of everybody” isn’t funny. It’s bully behavior.

It may be loud, but I’m doubtful that something that small will produce a plausible explosion sound.

  No, it’s nothing like it.
  Grenade goes off at 1:50.
  Not impressive. Annoying.

    What the hell, it just beeps? How is that an “explosion” sound at all?
    - Donald Petersen
      
      Yeah, that’s lame. Countless “whoopee cushion” apps will emit a delightful fart, in the flavor of your choice, as loud as you want, either using a timer or upon disturbing the accelerometers, directly from your smartphone, for considerably less than five bucks. Hell, some will launch any noise you want, not just explosive flatulence.

I am SO getting this for my nephews for Christmas.

My sister will be cool with it, I’m sure.

I’ve used these before, and they don’t really work. They just sort of beep, and rather quietly at that.

I am an extremely immature asshole, and even I don’t think this is a good idea.
