I would buy all of these too! They should sell it! It's awesome.
haha. Looks like real product pages but when you click the buy button then it goes to a april fools page!
I noticed you got downvotes, people probably thinking you were spamming products. Clever product pages.

I love ThinkGeek’s April Fools - they always come up with super creative ideas. And that’s why I love April Fools in general - one day when everyone can be silly and take a breath from the usual routine.
Regarding the downvotes... oh well, I guess you’re right. :(
