Brand New [WEDNESDAY]

Prepare to be amazed

Wednesday, August 30, 2006

You don’t have to be a magician to turn a tiny white tablet into a towel.

Wysi-wipe is a two-gram tablet that expands and unfurls into a big absorbent towellette when placed in water. This new gadget is attracting a lot of attention, it’s super handy, and you can pick up 100 of them for only 13 bucks.

Wysi-wipe is made of cellulose, so it’s biodegradable, and perfect for camping and hiking trips. Keep them in your desk drawer at work, a first aid kit, your suitcase, the glove box of your car, your lunch box, your purse, your make-up kit. . . we could go on. Talk about portable!

And you can scent them however you like, in warm water or in cold. Add lemon for a refreshing hand wash, or antiseptic for a sterile swab.

The only limit to these little wonders may just be your imagination.

They’ll be coming soon to a retail store near you, but for now you can check ‘em out at the PNE. Wysi-wipe, www.canawipe.com
