23 Unusual Remote Control Products

From Remote Control Beer Coolers to Remote Control Zombies

— February 25, 2013 — Eco
Remote control products have the ability to make everyday life exponentially easier, and in some cases, a lot more fun.

They are the perfect solution for pranks in the form of bugs and critters, a source of entertainment when they are hooked up to toys and very helpful when set up to your beer cooler. Just imagine a world filled with more remote controls...isn't it beautiful? Okay, so maybe it would make humanity a lot more indolent, but it would definitely make things a little more interesting.

The best thing about remote control products is that they can usually be set up to smart phones and so one can control just about anything that is properly set up with their phone.
