So many crap gadgets.
During the '80s and '90s, the Innovations catalogue sold a vision of the future as lived through gimmicky inventions.
When it folded in 2003, regular readers were distraught. One left the following comment on a BBC article:
I have admired Innovations from early childhood and am genuinely distressed by this turn of events. Luckily, I am wearing sponge-lined spectacles with integral FM tuner to absorb my tears (while I listen to the latest pop hits in style and comfort).
