THE 13 WORST ITEMS OFFERED IN BANKRUPT SKYMALL CATALOGUE

January 26, 2015

You may heard by now that SkyMall filed for bankruptcy. Found in nearly every the seat-back pocket once held a captive audience they shilled too, but the times have changed. Xhibit CFO, Scott Wiley wrote:

“With the increased use of electronic devices on planes, fewer people browsed the SkyMall in-flight catalog. The substantial increase in the number of air carriers which provide Internet access, and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s recent decision to allow the use of electronic devices during take-off and landing, resulted in additional competition from e-commerce retailers and additional competition for the attention of passengers, all of which further negatively impacted SkyMall’s catalog sales.”

Well, maybe this will be a reboot for them… it certainly gives us to “appreciate” the unique goods they have offered over the years. Some, no doubt very useful –hey, those change counters are HANDY! (And don't get sucked in by the USB port paper towel holder!) But here’s a look at the the 13 best of the worst.
