The Nubrella Is Here, The Nubrella is Here, Now We’re Finally Somebody

Charlie Nubrella

There’s Charlie in our Nubrella, which arrived at our offices yesterday. That thing is beyond cool. I wrote about it before here, but didn’t think it’s would be as cool as it is. Charlie was the first in Philly to wear one. And since it was raining cats and dogs yesterday afternoon, he braved the elements — and Philly attitude — to walk around the streets of Philadelphia with it. His kids took turns, too. The kids say it’s the next big thing. Look ma, no hands.

Seriously, it might look nuts, but it works. Sixty bucks. Lots of stares. Interrupt the pattern. How about that?

    I’m not sure if he looks like an astronaut or an Easter egg. Either way, cool idea.

    Just ine question. How long before Charlie turned blue and collapsed from lack of oxygen? It looks like he is wearing a stylish plastic bag over his head.

    Rick, I’m a bit claustrophobic, and it even worked for me. It’s cooler in person.
