No glovebox should be without a smashpack. It contains:
* A small disposable camera for recording the damage and scene for insurance/police.
* A small first aid kit including water/chocolate for isolated breakdowns
* Emergency numbers printed on the box.
* Forms for swapping insurance details.
The forms make sure you don't forget any details, and there's a pen, too.
* A small warning signal light/torch combo for night accidents.
What else?

a croissant of course !
(for [not_only_but_also]). |

Not intending to turn this into a list, but I'd recommend a thermal blanket or two and hand warmers (for winter crashes). |
|

A carrier pigeon, trained to fly home with a note to call for help. Or a cell phone. |
|
| |
A gorgeous, soft and cheery puppy, to distract the burly and aggrieved driver of the van you mashed your Fiat Punto into, allowing you a moments distraction, so you can flee into the pale morning, on a Shetland pony (also included). |
|
| |
Handgun to help settle the post collision disputes. |
|

oh come on - shetland pony in the glove? |
|
| |
brrrr. please tell me where the fan thing is? |

Here's an idea: go to the supermarket, buy these items you list, put them into a parcel, then put the parcel into your glovebox. Isn't this just common sense? |
|
| |
That's one heck of a supermarket you got yourself there.
"I'll have a six pack and that nine millimeter in the display case"
Are you from Texas? |
|
| |
That reminds me, where's [destructionism]? |
|
| |
This is almost common sense I am impressed someone has it... |
|
| |
[vigilante] Here's an idea: go to the newsagent, buy a newspaper, cut + glue into a Möbius strip, place in a box with part of the strip showing. Isn't this just common sense? Or do you prefer your Möbius Newspaper prepared for you? ;) |
|
| |
The smash pack's simplicity is that most of the things (except the detail-swap forms and the pony) are readily available. Replacement bits CAN be bought from most supermarkets. Especially if you 'accidently' keep raiding the chocolate supply... |
|
| |
Supermarket disposable cameras are small, but I reckon you could get a custom-made one that takes up even less glove box space. Same goes for the torch, pen, medkit and carrier pigeon. |
|
| |
Having said all that, I think I'm going to [m-f-d] myself due to [half]'s excellent link research. Just what I imagined, too. Maybe I saw this on TV then forgot I'd seen it. :o/ |
|
| |
Ah, but [half]'s link to the accident kit doesn't have chocolate and 2 live animals! Don't you wish they'd asked you before they finalized their product and put it on the market, [not-only]? Now that I know there could be a better product out there but must settle for something mediocre just makes me feel cheated. |
|
| |
Actually, I feel cheated whenever I go to a restaurant and there's no threat/thrill of 100,000 litres of water plummeting down from the roof. Who's idea was that anyway? .... and did it survive the crash of Sept '04? |
|
| |
So many 1/2bakery ideas leave you feeling cheated with the real world. (Except maybe "the scariest rollercoaster. ever." and "Feces Pieces") |
|
| |
//shetland pony in the glove//
It's collapsible. |
|
| |
I'm afraid that if you told me there was chocolate IN the thing, then it certainly wouldn't be in there for long ... |
|
| |
Also - what kind of no-melt super chocolate are you going to have to engineer for folks in really hot climates? |
|
| |
Tabs, sorry we make you "feel dirty and ashamed" just by saying common sense |
|
| |
vigilante,+ tabs there are a lot of products that are designed to be sold to people that have no common sense,
one of the most perfect and lucrative examples of marketing to one that lacks common sense is the pet rock - |
|
| |
would you say that the pet rock was a bad idea because somone could sell people a product that they already have in their backyard? or obtain for free, |
|
| |
tabs, would you say that this idea is a bad idea just because someone said that it may convey some sort of common sence? |
|
| |
I think that one of the good tests for an idea is, is it marketable. |
|
| |
+ I like this. The non-melting chocolate will be
difficult, but there could be options for chocolate-
flavoured wafers that wouldn't melt. |
|
| |
Of course, Kendal Mint Cake has a higher melting point, and also, lacking theobromine, wouldn't poison [Calum]'s puppy. |
|
| |
Non-melting chocolate was baked in WWI, then fed to
soldiers in WWII--not the same recipe, the same chocolate. |
|
| |
Sorry I only saw this was posted b4 the smartphone
revolution after I voted down. |
|
| |
I read something about necco wafers being immortal. I
think the brown One is chocolate. |
