The pitch:
Brightfeet™ (bright idea???) Lighted Slippers are night lights for your feet. They are ideal for nighttime trips to the bathroom, kitchen, kid’s room, or anywhere in your home (!!!). Comfortable and convenient, they provide over 25' of light and only activate in darkened conditions when weight is applied. Makes a great gadget gift for the holidays! www.brightfeetslippers.com Retail Price: $39.95 (!!!)
Reflections:
First of all, assuming the person who would find these useful doesn't have in-house lights they can turn on in the middle of the night, how are they going to find these slippers anyhow? Perhaps they should come with a remote homing device that attaches to your PJs (because the person who would purchase "brightfeet" have been burned by candlelight too often, live in a cave, have no electricity, have other house residents who awake suddenly when someone turns on a hall light). If, by chance, they are useful to you, I doubt you'd find them functional. How in the hell are you going to see anything with lame key chain-esque lights strobing from your toes? Avoid the family dog or a ball of lint I suppose. I think headbands with lights on them would be better. At least they would illuminate what is at eye level.
