Ruthless and dangerous these poachers will steal your groceries, ignoring the fact that they were paid for using your own hard earned cash. Well its time to take a stand. Invest in a Squid. Invest in your future.
How it works… :
How it works… Food poachers are, by trade, very stupid criminals. They often steal right from under your nose and take advantage of the fact that you are trusting enough to keep your groceries in the safe and accessible environment that is your communal kitchen. Well its time to teach them a lesson.
Lets say you’ve got a shady roommate who has the tendency to rifle through your grocery list while your back is turned.
(Here he’s seen making taunting gestures at your kitchen’s security tape as he steals your other roommate’s leftovers)
Well he won’t get away with taking a peek in your pantry once you’ve installed The Squid!
How it works… :
How it works… After installing the squid, he’ll think twice about hitting your pantry next time he makes his rounds.
Why you ask? Because The Squid will ring loud and clear next time he opens it!
The Squid is set up like a set of wind chimes. Upon opening the door it is attached to, it’s clinks and clanks send out an unmistakable alarm that you will immediately recognize.
Made from glass test tubes and filled with coins, nails and screws, The Squid’s rattling will tell you exactly when a poacher is snooping through your goods!
Take a Stand :
Take a Stand We must all do our part to stop the rampant cycle of theft that goes on in our apartments, dorms and houses.
The Squid will give you a sense of security. Its an investment in your financial future.
When a poacher skims some of your cereal or juice, they are essentially taking dollars right from your wallet.
By purchasing a Squid of your own, you are reinvesting in yourself, and helping put an end to the food poaching epidemic.
Assembly :
Assembly All parts for The Squid were purchased through the University of Wisconsin’s Surplus With A Purpose (SWAP) Program.
The following items were purchased:
1 Jar: $1.00
1 Internet Cable: $1.00
8 Test Tubes: $0.80
Suggested Retail Value: $9.99
The cable was stripped and the interior wires were separated and clipped. They were then super glued to the tubes. Nails, coins and other metallic items were put into the tubes and jar to help project the sound. The squid can be easily attached to the interior of any pantry or refrigerator.
The Future… :
The Future… We expect sales of The Squid to take off within the next few months.
Eventually, it will sweep the nation in similar fashion to how The Snuggie became successful.
It’s practicality and cost effectiveness make it a perfect product.
Currently, we are looking into a contract with large scale companies who specialize in domestic security systems.
Well, not really. But you could imagine what it would be like if we did…
