Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Wampa Ice Scraper Mitt Will Keep You Warm in Winter

— August 25, 2012 — Autos
The Star Wars Wampa Ice Scraper Mitt is the best way to keep warm this winter when you're cleaning your car. It may still be summer, but it's never too early to start thinking of fun ways to get through winter. This quirky product comes from the design team at ThinkGeek.

The product was inspired by the Star Wars scene in The Empire Strikes Back, when Luke Skywalker chops off the Wampa's arm. It looks just like that too, as it's a white fur clawed mitt that has a handy ice scraper on the palm. This fun piece won't only keep your hand warm, but it'll entertain you and possibly your kids too.

This is definitely a great way to get through those winter blues.
