CONGRATULATIONS to our winner: Keri Butler, seen in the photo here with her haul! Keri’s wine glass-holding necklace was just one of hundreds of great (and ridiculous) products we received as answers. See them all in the comments below!
The contest (now over):
Have you ever been on a plane, flipping through one of those in-flight catalogs, and seen an item that’s made you laugh, or point out to your seatmate, or just shake your head? Something like, say:
- A remote-controlled towel
- A hat that can remember your name
- Dog ice skates
- Edible bookmarks
- A TV powered by bacon grease
None of those items are real, but in the air—based on what else is out there—they really could be. In our “Only In The Air” contest with Gogo, we’re asking for the craziest, most ridiculous, coolest, most ingenious, most impractical, or just most memorable product you’ve ever seen in an in-flight catalog. If it made you think, “Only In The Air,” we want to hear about it.
From the pool of readers who share their favorites, one lucky winner will be picked to win a Macbook Air, an iPad and an Apple TV!

The best thing was the lamb that made sounds of being in the womb for my new grandson.
The self-cleaning litter box.
As a military mom, we traveled quite a bit, but when I saw the carrier that the child could ride on behind you like a piece of luggage. I literally laughed out loud and couldn’t stop, laughing so hard tears were coming from my eyes. If I knew I would not have gotten carted off by security, I would have gotten some straps and made my own seat for my kids with their little chairs from home. That was the best laugh!
Power BalanceTM wristbands supposed to improve your energy levels, balance and flexibility. A lot to ask from a rubber wristband.
Looq Remote Shutter, I don’t even understand what it does.
Crazy custom Pet Portrais posed as a 17th century noble.
I bought the self-flushing cat toilet. Sadly – it did not work as advertised. You don’t want to know what was required to “unclog” it.
Freeze-dried rainbow packs. Just add water!
My husband wants the indoor doggie potty yard!
