There Are Now Silica Gel Bags That S’poreans Can Buy After Kopi Peng Keychain

We have reached the year 2019.

A year that many of the 70s kids thought would never come.

Or thought that it would be full of hoverboards and robots.

Or perhaps if you watched Back to the Future when it came out, you would have thought that the present would have machines which were able to turn mini pizzas into larger pizzas.

How good would that be?

But as most things go, reality often falls short of our expectations.

Sure, we have Google Glasses and Foldable smartphones, but the cost is way too much, think a year’s worth of salary, for a middle-class Singaporean to afford.

Yet, not all of the cool-ass creations are disappointments and nor do they cost my arms and legs.

At least, that was what online store XO Halo thought.

Does This Come In Large?

We all recognise this.

In our shoes, in leather bags… the list goes on and on.

The silica gel is no stranger to us, as it absorbs and holds water vapour. Often found in leather products and foods like pepperoni, the lack of moisture can limit the growth of mould and reduce spoilage.

So yes, it’s magical.

But as with the trend of remaking everyday items…

…someone had the bright idea of creating a silica gel bag.

Because, fun.

Silica Gel Packet Bag

We have reached a breakthrough in society.

Now, you can carry a silica gel packet bag in size XXLL around your shoulders.

And it even acts as a fanny pack pouch.

Please don’t gong gong put it in your cupboard and think it’ll work like Thirsty Hippo.

And if you’re not a fan of the usual white, it comes in other colours too, such as black and pink.

Although you cannot deny that the white one looks the most authentic.

Affordable

The bag is currently selling it at USD 35 (about 47 SGD), which is a sale price (original price: 50 USD).

In addition, there is also free worldwide shipping, though the site states that delivery will take two to three weeks.

Other than looking like an icon, the bag is somewhat practical as well, being able to hold small items like your smartphone or your wallet.

Enough to fit items for a short trip out of the house.

Just don’t wear this to prom, yeah? Best dressed lady of the night, you will not be.

You can order your very own silica gel bag here.
