Let’s say you’re sitting at your desk, staring into the pale glow of your laptop screen, your face drier than a Ryvita in the Sahara. Your lips are peeling like cheap wallpaper, your sinuses feel like someone’s filled them with concrete, and your eyes are drier than the humour at an HR seminar.
Enter the Mini USB Humidifier.
Yes — someone, somewhere, thought: “You know what would make this dry, lifeless cubicle better? Moisture. From a bottle. Plugged into a USB port.”
This is not so much a gadget as it is a science experiment crossed with a mood swing. It takes a plastic bottle — one you were probably about to throw away — and turns it into a tiny mist cannon. All powered by USB. Because nothing says cutting-edge technology like powering a steam machine from the same port you charge your mouse.
Now, the manufacturers claim it “relieves coughs, colds, dry skin, sinus problems, and even chapped lips.” Which is impressive, because I thought that’s what whisky and sarcasm were for. But apparently, now all you need is a humidifier the size of a shot glass and poof — your respiratory system is reborn.
Environmentally friendly? Tick. Portable? Tick. Fits in a purse, a laptop bag, or your emotional baggage? Also tick. But let’s be clear — this isn’t some majestic wall-mounted device. This is a mist machine for people who are too ashamed to admit they miss the smell of rain.
It’s also recommended for smokers and people whose homes are, apparently, made entirely of dust and regret. Throw in some central heating and you’ve basically recreated the climate of a cheap motel on the surface of Mars. But worry not! The Mini USB Humidifier will bravely puff out tiny clouds of moisture like a hamster with asthma trying to cool down a room.
In short, it’s daft. It’s unnecessary. It’s kind of brilliant. And yes — I have one on my desk, puffing away like Thomas the Tank Engine in the middle of a hay fever outbreak.
