Remember the Pet Rock discussion in Office Space where Tom Smykowski explains his Jump To Conclusions Mat to Michael Bolton, Peter, and Samir? The scene goes a little something like this:
Tom Smykowski: There are people in this world that don’t have to put up with all this sh*t. Like that guy that invented the Pet Rock. You see, that’s what you have to do. You have to use your mind, and come up with some really great idea like that, and you can make millions—never have to work again.
Michael Bolton: You think the Pet Rock was a really great idea.
Tom Smykowski: Sure it was! The guy made a million dollars! You know, I had an idea like that once…. It was a Jump to Conclusions Mat. It would be this mat that you would put on the floor, and it would have different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO.
Michael Bolton: That is the worst idea I’ve ever heard in my life, Tom.
Samir: Yes, this is horrible, this idea.
The Cassette Tape Dispenser brings that scene to mind, but for a much smarter idea: It’s a CASSETTE TAPE, and it DISPENSES TAPE. And while it may not make a million dollars anytime soon, it’s one of the better looking tape dispensers I’ve ever seen. It’s nerdy. It’s nostalgic. And it definitely counts as a piece of desktop flair.
The Cassette Tape Dispenser is available at Firebox for $20 and comes in either red or green.
Of course, you’ll likely want it in red to match your stapler.
