Today, I opened my mailbox and was pleasantly surprised. Typically only
filled with flyers and the occasional bill (that duplicates the one
sitting in my email inbox), I actually found something that was worth
more attention than an immediate trip to the recycling bin. You're going
to have to read on to find out what it is, but I can tell you that it
was a gift from a hot new business out there that subscribes to my brand
of sarcasm. While I was pleased with the appearance of their namesake
item, you may not be if you're on the receiving end.

Subscription box services have been a trend for a number of years,
popular for their convenience and the fact that they're like unwrapping a
present when the contents are (somewhat of) a surprise. Everything from
pet items, to razors, to delectable snacks, and makeup have been sold
in this format by businesses that deal exclusively in items that are
packed in cardboard and left on your doorstep once a month or so. But,
if you think you've already seen it all, you'd be wrong.

Escape games are pretty trendy these days, and there are various
concepts all around the globe. It's no surprise that these businesses
are becoming popular. After all, what could be more fun than going on
your own intellectual, "Saw"-style escape adventure that lets you test
your wit without losing your limbs? Well, believe it or not, I can
answer that question for you.

We all have those items that hang around our homes for months or years
that collect dust untouched. Sometimes, however, we develop a sense of
attachment to those items, and just don't want to see them discarded.
Trying to sell pre-loved items to collectors, thift stores, or by
holding a yard sale is a whole lot of effort with little payout. This
inconvenience leads many of us to hoard things we wouldn't allow to take
up valuable space in our homes. A new business concept uses technology
to offer a whimsical solution.

Little by little, we're approaching a day and age where businesses that
once relied on humans are using technology instead. I say "approaching"
because we're not quite there yet; people are still valued in many
fields, particularly where customer service is concerned. But that
doesn't mean that many businesses aren't already embracing alternatives,
and some of them happen to be a little strange.

Every summer, many Americans flock to the drive in movie theaters to see
their favorite retro flicks or new blockbuster releases. Although drive
in movies are still popular today, there are far fewer operating
theaters than there were a few decades ago, and some things have
changed. Speakers no longer have to be pulled through your car's window
as was once necessary (now, audio is available through a specified radio
station), for example. What hasn't changed are the kids in pajamas or
the pickup beds loaded with blankets and teenagers. But now, one concept
could totally reinvent the drive in - and driving isn't even part of
the equation.
