One morning a Target Gadgets Engineer (that's a real job) was having a hard time waking up. She took her coffee upstairs to grab a shower and realized she had no place to put the mug. If she set it on the side of the tub it might slide off and break, which would be a disaster for many reasons (not the least of which would be the loss of a perfectly good cup of coffee). If she set it on the built-in soap ledge her coffee would get diluted from the running water.
The Target Gadgets Engineer was suddenly struck with a brilliant idea. If only she could design a place to hold both her shower essentials AND her coffee. She quickly finished up her shower and ran to the drawing board.
And the Shower Coffee Caddy was born.
When she took it to her supervisor at Target he laughed and said that no one would ever want to drink coffee in the shower (he obviously did not have children). However, he saw the beauty in her simple design and produced it as a simple shower caddy.
But, as any mom can clearly see, this was designed to hold my coffee. Genius.
Target did not pay me to write this post. In fact, I don't know if Target even sells this anymore as I can't find it on their website, but Amazon does (and they didn't pay me either). No coffee was diluted in the creation of this blog post. No cell phones were destroyed by taking pictures in the shower... although that was a close one.
UPDATE: I know that space is really for the soap. Thanks for the private emails and comments to let me know. I'll work on some less subtle humor for my next post!

I can't believe this is really a product! A few things: 1. I have the S mug! 2. I'm a little leery on the shower cup of coffee but mine has been known to get cold on the counter, so... and 3. I'm glad you're blogging again!
ReplyDeleteI love my M mug! Especially the purple inside. I'm working on a rainbow of mugs and now I have the purple :-) And don't you just hate it when your coffee gets cold while you're getting warm in the shower? Sucks.
DeleteI am very certain that little part is for the soap. Also, most showers are too small for this to keep the coffee dry.
ReplyDeleteWe have a stall shower and this is on the wall opposite the sprayer and it keeps my coffee dry! I take it in the shower with me all the time.
DeleteAnd you're right, it is for the soap. I guess my humor was a little too subtle for this post, huh?
I thought your humor was perfect for this post, and I need that right now! I love taking my coffee upstairs and to the shower, but end up setting it on the vanity and it gets cold! I thought I was the only shower coffee drinker!
ReplyDeleteNope. And apparently there area LOT of us out there! I guess no one really likes cold coffee sitting on the counter.
DeleteLove it! Looks like you should join the Target Gadget Engineer team!
ReplyDeleteI SHOULD!! Too bad I only get one good idea per year. Think they'd pay me $50,000 for each idea?
DeleteI thought it was funny - funnier that folks didn't get the joke! :)
ReplyDelete(I did a subtle post that was a bit more morbid. Due to my SIL's reaction to it, I had to remove it. Don't take this down, it's good!)
Thanks!
DeleteThis is too weird...I had the thought two days ago as I was getting in the shower that I wish I could take my coffee in with me bc I knew I wouldn't have time to finish it by the time I got out, but I thought I must be the only person who would think of such a thing. Do you live in my head???
ReplyDeleteThe worst part about the coffee/shower time is the sadness of cold coffee waiting on the counter. The best part is letting the warm water wash over my head while drinking deeply of my coffee goodness.
