    So...what exactly makes this Little Clock so Clever? Is it the orange dot on the display? That doesn't seem clever to me...as it inhibits you from seeing what time it is...which is the clocks only real purpose.

    They can also be crushed into a fine powder and used to season food... I prefer to leave them large for higher street value.

    My personal fav is the Teleportation Tweak for $60. Nothing to place in the room or on your cables, just a phone call does it.

    I'm wondering how this company has such good feedback, then I realized that anyone who has to buy this product to find out its a scam would surely rather rant about how it actually does work and not risk loosing his friends after they find out what he did.
