Clip-n-Seal Rocks!

I'm a winner! Actually, this is old news, but for some reason I never got around to mentioning it before. A while ago, a site called Blogstakes came up with an idea where they would do sweepstakes that co-opted bloggers by awarding prizes both to randomly drawn sweepstakes winners as well as to the blogger who pointed the contest that resulted in the click-through of the winning consultant. I blogged about it on MarketingVox (then Up2Speed), more as an interesting marketing idea than as something I really hoped to win. Anyway, turns out I did win — I was one of the referring bloggers

The prize was from Clip-n-Seal, a really clever product designed by a burnt out web developer that has refreshingly nothing to do with the web and everything to do with product freshness. Basically, they are a simple groove and rod system that seals bags air-tight, as shown in the illustration here. I have to say, they are a very cool and useful product. I liked them so much, I ordered more, and they just arrived, which is why I thought to blog about it at last.

I suspect this guy is going to get rich as soon as Ziploc or Glad buy him out. Meanwhile, I highly l recommend you buy them via his web site. Your cookies and cat food will thank you for it.
