Happy Hand Warmers (UPDATE)

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Tato Cute Hand Warmers Go Wireless

— March 22, 2013 — Tech
When Smoko Inc first launched its Tato Handwarmers about a year ago, the world was blown away by the ease and comfort provided by these soft, cute hand warmers that were powered via USB drive.

Now that Smoko has achieved its goal of spreading worldwide toast hand warmer appreciation, it's decided to make its product wireless too. Smoko has launched a hilariously engaging Kickstarter campaign that enlightens the people who were unaware of the many reasons you should have more respect for wireless toast-themed hand warmers.

In this very funny commercial spot, Smoko showcases the ease of comfort afforded by their newly improved Tato Handwarmers’ wireless design. These cute hand warmers actually carry rechargeable batteries and give you up to eight hours of balmy typing company. I couldn’t think of a cozier way to spend my day in front of the computer.
