Some of y'all may remember a month or so back, when Google was promoting a new build of their Chromeâ„¢ browser with a video on "Chromercise"? The premise being, the new build was so fast we'd all have to improve our digital dexterity to keep up? And they released a "fingercise" video featuring "finger warmers" as colorful accessories?
This was on April 1st, as I recall...
This was the video.
Anyhow.... if you watched the video, there was a link to get your own finger warmers, remember? Well I figured it was an April Fools prank, but I applied anyway — and today I got these in the mail!
I went back to check the giveaway page, and it seems they're all out. So my question is, how many of my fellow DPCers got in on this? Or am I the only one?
Sound off, folks!

I feel sorry for the thumbs...they don't get to workout too?

Hmm they probably give them out to only one poor sucker per site, err, people named Robert. Lucky you! ;-) |

So are you going to put them up on eBay? LOL |

Thinking about it, actually. Or maybe offer them as a prize for a special challenge in DPC; depends on how much of a cult item they have/will become, I guess...
How about it, people, any ideas what to do with my Chromercise Finger Warmers?

Looks like something eccentric hackers would use in their dark underground command centers. I knew my suspicions about you would someday bear fruit Robert! (No pun intended!) :)

That's too funny! I watched both of those videos, but never clicked on the link figuring it was a joke. |

You'll have to figure out whether it'd be more profitable to sell them individually or as a set. |

Just found my set in the back of a drawer, where I'd put them for safekeeping a couple years ago. Googled "Chromercise" and THIS page was like the 6th hit on the list :-)
