Have you ever wrapped a rubber band around your finger and shot it at a coworker or a friend while sitting around the office or school? Well Bryce Bell just stepped it up to another level. He has created a company called Cardnetics which is where he sells his business cards that double as killing devices… well they may not kill but they could seriously take someone’s eye out if you’re not careful.
His first card, the Cardapult, is a business card that transforms into a catapult so you can nail Nancy (and not in the good way) who is always bragging about the Johnson Account by the water cooler.
Bell’s new prototype is the not as creatively named Penny Shooter, which could definitely take out a rodent on the loose in the warehouse or probably a small toddler that your secretary thought would be okay to bring in with her because she is only working a quick afternoon shift. Put THAT on your extended employee health benefits plan!
You can get the cards printed with your business name, email, phone number and all that jazz but I think they are probably more designed as a promotional item giveaway and not a card you would hand over to the CEO of a multimillion dollar company that you are bidding on a contract for. Still pretty cool though!
Cheers,
