Customer Questions & Answers


Question: Can I put a dismantled clock into this to make it look scary?

Answer: Yes. It's perfect for this application. Just be sure to include lots of exposed wiring, at least 1 IC board, and top it off with a countdown lcd readout. People will see wires and flip out. It's hilarious. Wires + case + stupid people = hours of laughter and a free trip to the Whitehouse.


Question: Does it come with a circuit board and wires? Does it have instructions to make a bo... clock?

Answer: No, you have to intentionally dismantle an old alarm clock, and then insert it into the box. (Don't forget to take credit for your invention! You may be entered for a chance to win a trip to The Whitehouse and Facebook headquarters!)


Question: I am planning on deconstructing a blender, putting the parts in a pencil box and claiming i "invented" it. would the "ruby bling skull" work for that?

Answer: That's a great question, and you must be quite the prodigy to think of an idea like that, are you from M.I.T by any chance?
I think it should work, just make sure to have your Father help you with it. Also make sure to show it off to as many people as possible, don't be deterred by those telling you to keep it to your? see more


Question: how many pencils can this box hold

Answer: Probably a handful, I guess.....
But this box is for putting gutted alarm clocks inside, why are you asking about pencils?

Racial tensions are at an extreme high in the US, knowing this when a story like this comes out and it has high PR opportunity people and organizations will jump at it.

Same thing with the Anonymous doxxing of KKK members which included a list of City Mayors and Senators (one of whom is Gay?) today it turns out that that information may not be credible (by another hacker)

But you know what information you are going to see on various social media streams for the foreseeable future, then you'll get the aftershock that would rather believe the worst and ignore actual facts

The sad thing is that this kind of activity isn't just well understood on social media, it's become an industry unto itself
