41 Ways to Give the Credit Crunch the Finger

— October 11, 2008 — Top Lists
The media is practically bleeding with stories about failing banks, ailing economies and the credit crunch. If you’re sick and tired of the doom and gloom and just want to give the finger to it all, then check out this cluster of all sorts of finger innovations.

Ranging from finger fashion to even finger condoms, the trends include fingerprints that unlock doors, pay for your drugstore buys and become art. There are strange toys like the one-finger game console or fingerware to eat with. One of the coolest products is a camera so small it is called the Finger Snap.

So let your fingers do the clicking and walk through this handy cluster!
