Why Tech Wednesday: This Pickle Rick Gold Pendant is a Crime Against Humanity

Posted on by

Look, I enjoy Rick and Morty as much as the next guy (as long as that next guy isn’t stabbing a McDonald’s employee for some McNuggy sauce), but these memes have got to go. Watching Rick and Morty doesn’t make you genius, remember, it’s just a silly Back to the Future parody.

But now there is Pickle Rick Jewelry, yes now you can own your gold or silver pendant of your favorite mad scientist after being soaked in brine. What has the world come to?

First they screamed “Wubba-Lubba Dub Dub!” and I did not speak out,  for I thought it was kinda funny.

Then they shouted “Get Shwifty!” and I did not speak out,  for I still thought it was kinda funny.

Finally, they screamed “I’m Pickle Rick!” and I cringed, but there was no left to speak for me.

Available for $39 from Midas Gold, just don’t tell I sent you or I’ll deny it.

Sure, that new iPhone looks cool. You can show it off to your friends and be the cool kid on the block for the next couple of days. But Apple has released pricing info for those unfortunate enough to drop their shiny new phone and the most shocking is the $279 charge for repairing the screen.

So for those people we figured we’d have a little fun with the numbers and see what else that $279 could’ve bought you.

 

  • Xbox One S Bundle with 500GB Hard Drive and Madden NFL 18 ($279)

Forget the iPhone and load up some Madden to forget you troubles.

 

  • Amazon Fire HD 8 and Amazon Echo ($79 + $99)

At least if you break this one, you could just toss it in the trash and buy a new one!

 

  • ~33 Burritos from Chipotle Mexican Grill ($274)

Or eat your troubles away with around 33 burritos from Chipotle.

 

  • Gym Membership for at least a year.

Of course, you could always just join a gym. (The healthy version of becoming addicted to burritos!)

 

  • Beats Solo3 Wireless ($185)

Save $100 and still be the cool kid on campus with a new pair of Beats.

 

  • Spotify Membership for 2 years and 4 months. ($279)

Listen away your troubles with ad-free Spotify. Your eyes may not appreciate looking at that cracked screen, but at least your ears will appreciate not being blasted with ads for 2 and a half years!

 

  • Heck, you could always just cut your losses and buy A refurbished iPhone 6S (~$280)
