I've been asking myself, "Where was I when this craziness hit the market?".
If this is the first time you ever heard about it, so, I am gladly would like to welcome you to the world of...

I (have to) admit that I had never seen this thing before. But, am I? Or perhaps, due to being a normal Homo sapiens living in a city, I was in a total ignorance at that moment.
Flip Flap ... yes, that's the name. It's a toy, a cute ornamental item which keep haunting me right know.
Seems like wherever I go, I can see it (almost) everywhere. If you're driving on the road, you can see at least one Flip Flap on someone's car dashboard.
Whoaaa!!!!! Still cannot imagine what it looks like? Here it is:It looks cute only when it's operating. When provided with enough light, the 'leaves' will flap and the 'flower' will sway.
This could somehow provide somekind of mental therapy to someone, but of course with some cost you have to pay first. Google for "Flip Flap" and there are about 400,000 links about it.
Thru googling, I've found out that an online auction in Malaysia is selling at RM 25 per piece, with free delivery to KL/PJ.
In other online shops, the price range is between USD 5.90 to USD 9.95 per piece, excluding delivery. There are also a special one, comes encased in a plastic protective case. The price tag is USD 29.95.The price tag is probably affordable by most of us, especially when the price range at street market is much cheaper, between RM 10 to RM 12.
Furthermore, you don't have to spend for battery or water because it is an artifical solar powered flower pot.
P/S: Are you willing to pay for this? Is it something that you really, really need in your life (and cannot live without it), or is it just another decorative item that you want to buy????
