We thought this piece of dubious exercise equipment was so spectacular in its utter redundancy that it deserved a special edition all of its own in our ongoing series Landfills Were Made For These, which highlights the useless stuff of life (see previous).
The manufacturers of the Hawaii Chair, which features a "2800 rpm hula motor" that rotates the seat, claim their invention "combines the ancient art of the hula with patented health science technology." They promise that "in just 20 minutes a day you can hula your way to a sexier slimmer you," and that the chair will "take the work out of your workout."
But wait. There's more. The folks from HawaiiChair.com say "the Hawaii chair wasn't just designed for at home," and that since office workers routinely spend 40 hours a week behind a desk, you should take your workout chair to work. We think, however, that if you "Hawaii chair while answering phones, using the computer, balancing books or filing paperwork," as this infomercial suggests (if player fails to load click HERE to view), the chair is more likely to take the work out of your life altogether as your boss hands you a pink slip for your peculiar behavior.
But hurry! This offer won't last for long. On their website the chair is reduced from $419.94 to just $293.96. Hmmn? We can't imagine why?
