Omg, A Whole New Level of Obsession

ArtlessIbex

Geeky ladies, have you seen this?  I miiiiiiight need one right this minute!  Also, not a bad price at ALL.

That seems insanely cheap for a pregnancy test/ovulation test all in one.  I would be worried about how correct it was! 

ArtlessIbex

Me too, but it says 99% (I assume that's for the pregnancy part).

Omg is this real?? I kind of really want.

But then you have to plug a pee stick into your computer....

I bet the test strips will be expensive.  That's how they will make the money off of it. Also, how can it give you a EDD based on the levels of your hormones?  That doesn't seem very accurate, unless it's similar to the weeks estimator HPT.

Yeah I can't get over having to plug something you peed on into your computer.

Think Geek is where I get my canned unicorn meat, not reliable pregnancy tests.

I just found this article on wired, is it a hoax?

At the bottom of the first article it says "ahah april's fool"

I showed this to my husband because he loves ThinkGeek and he said, "do you want it? I'll buy it". I kinda do but I'm also really hoping that I'm pregnant this cycle or next and will have no need for it much longer.

Guise.... it's not real.... they do amazing April fools products, sometimes those become real items, like the canned unicorn meat, but most are just for jokes.

ArtlessIbex

Lol, I guess this is what I get for posting something without thoroughly checking it out first.  Damn.  I'm usually so good at that, too.  *facepalm*

goldie987

I was gonna say, mass spec machines are crazy expensive.  There's no way $18 would pay for a reliable item, especially so small...Oh think geek....

tinypikachu

Lol totally fake! I was reading it thinking, I need this NOW! But it's a fake product :P Whoever thinks it's real, try buying it and see >-

MissAmeliaPond

Wow... lol

gravcass

I so freaking wanted this lol. It needs to be real NOW!

KyCat

Haha I'm glad it's not real, but honestly, I was already thinking that the only thing more depressing than "Not Pregnant" spelled out for you on the CB digi would be the little no baby symbol they showed on this thing.

My first clue this was fake (I read the link before the comments) was where it said "pickle aisle" instead of "available online" or something. You never know with Think Geek though! I buy all my husband's Christmas gifts in that site. It's awesome.

So I clicked Buy Now to see if it would even let someone purchase it since it says available in the Picke Aisle and not online...got this:
