Korean Life | The Best Invention Ever

Behold the magnificent high-tech piece of modern-day machinery that is the electric mosquito racket, aka mosquito zapper, aka the most satisfying thing we own, aka the best invention ever. It is the embodiment of centuries of advanced scientific mosquito repelling research complete with a sleek, sophisticated design ripped straight from the courts of Wimbledon. But this is no mere tennis racket, nay, this is a sophisticated mosquito killing machine.

To use: Insert two AA batteries, secure with a rubber band (as the battery cover has already broken off), push the plastic button to activate the charge, move the racket near the evil creature, and watch with sick pleasure as the mosquito snaps, crackles, briefly lights on fire, and pops. Don’t worry about the slight smell of charred mosquito flesh. Think of it as affirmation of a job well done.

Available throughout Asia, or wherever ninja mosquitoes/mosquitoes that take Sunday strolls across the floor/massive yellow jacket genetically modified looking mosquitoes tend to sneak in your house despite living in a high-rise with all its windows shuttered.

Now if I could only figure out how to wire a bunch of these rackets together so that I could wear them like a jacket whenever I ventured outside.
