Nonsense Copy

To sell the unsellable: the greatest challenge of the copywriter. Of course for the most part we find ourselves putting words to the task of reasonable projects, items and services, so it's just a matter of selecting good words and putting them together in a complementary manner. But, well, that's pretty straightforward, and I fancied a challenge to dust off my skills with, so I asked the good folks of Facebook to suggest some highly unlikely and nonsensical products for me to write about. Naturally, they delivered. So without further ado welcome to the online store for stuff you are very likely to never need!

Disclaimer: do not attempt to purchase any of the following items.

1. Invisible ninja suit that is also delicious

Invisible: for perfect stealth.

Delicious: for any situation.

TECMO’s ninja suits have been the leading world standard for fifteen years, and we’re proud to serve the needs of the discerning modern ninja. But we also know that it’s a tough world for ninjas out there these days. So we’re proud to present out first hybrid ninja suit, which combines the best features of our Stealth and Tasty models: the Sneak’n’Eat suit.

No longer will you be detected by sharp-eyed minions. No longer will you find your stomach rumbling on a lengthy stake-out. The Sneak’n’Eat runs on advanced rice paper technology that makes it completely unremarkable to the naked eye, but we’ve also dipped that rice paper in vats of leading nutrients, infusing it with a deliciousness that can’t be compared.

The TECMO Sneak’n’Eat: because we care about ninjas.

6. A instrument with cpr type qualities that takes a normal piece of steak and renovates the meat back to a cow.

Well, no more! With the M-00 Cowcannon, a single shot is sufficient to renovate a piece of meat back into a fully grown cow, which can then be personally slaughtered for fresh, pleasant consumption. Enjoy the luxury of infinite meat twinned with the boost of masculinity that comes with playing God and slaughtering innocent creatures, all for the a-moo-zingly low price of £500,000!

Now 90% less likely to completely annihilate the global market!

7. A ladder for moths to escape from the bath.

Jun Alex Prince Cheung was having what he assumed was a perfectly normal day: he'd just got home after a long hard slog at the office, and was looking forward to a nice relaxing bath. But it was not to be, because, upon arrival in the bathroom, horror of horrors, moths in the bath!

Permit us, if you will, to science. See, a bath is commonly wet, and when the wing of a moth comes into contact with wet, a remarkable chemical reaction takes place that renders it unable to fly. So if a moth should land in your bath... there'll be trouble afoot, as poor Jun discovered.

But no more! Because now, Jun has a moth ladder! Easy to install and easy to use, the moth ladder is the world's leading mechanism for allowing wet moths to escape from baths with their personal integrity intact. 90% of moths agree.

Here's what Jun himself had to say after we gave him a free sample moth ladder:

'Yeah it's decent.'
