Product: The Spountin Problem "solved" by product: Faucets in home not enough like water fountains Pre-existing solution to "problem": Live in park, elementary school, or other public facility; get a life
Why? Why would you want this? You crank it on your faucets, and the water comes up in a water-fountain loop instead of streaming straight down. Fine. Someone invented that and patented it. It doesn't mean anyone needs it.
"Well, what about when you have a really tall skinny vase and you can never quite get the water --" Okay, good point. But do you think that's the primary selling point in the ad? No. The primary selling point is that it's easier to take pills now that you don't have to crane your fat head all the way down into the sink and drink out of the faucet anymore.
I'm not joking. Evidently, the practice of running an inch of water into a freakin' glass is not as widespread as I'd thought. I mean…Jesus. What did people do before The Spountin, throw a couple Advil into their mouths and then lap up water from the bidet? OPEN. A. SODA. MY GAAHHHD.
And you know how you fill those vases? You put water in…a glass. And you pour the water from the glass into the vase. It takes thirty seconds. It takes a lot longer to fix the plumbing you fuck up when you try to attach the Spountin, which The Spountineers deny will happen, but it will. Nowhere is the potential for user error greater, it seems to me, than with an ASOTV product.
