Are You Stressed? Break It!
We all need stress relief. Some people internalize it. Some people lash out. You could pick up meditation or try to keep yourself busy but sometimes hitting something really hard is the quick (best) way to release all that tension. Break It is a body and mind relaxation kit – a meditation CD, some herb tea aren’t exactly new but in order to get to it, you have to “break it.” Pretend you’re a master martial artist and smash that sh*t open. Don’t worry, it’s made of potato starch.

What is this? A useful and product? Easy to operate? Simple to understand? Actually green materials? Gimmicky without going overboard?
This surly does not belong on this website. It is too well conceived. Well done, kudos
matt says
what the hell keeps you from breaking the CD inside lol. not all designers are skimpy, weak, and look half-homosexual.
rayelle says
I agree with the comment above, what happens when you punch so hard that you break the product inside? You just end up more stressed… I do like the idea though.

This would also make for great Valentines Day Candy box.
Or perhaps even as a “Emergency Chocolate Rations” box

I don’t know, it’s a little silly.
So it’s packaging that is then packaged again to be shipped and sold?
If you can break it with your fist without hurting, then it is clearly not strong enough to be shipped like that.
Na, I don’t like it.
Carl says

This is really silly, if you are stressed you don’t want to follow more dumb rules. You just want to smash stuff, not pretend to. I hope you can eat the potato starchy shell.

This concept also displays the designer's lack of Psychological back ground. Relieving stress in the form of anger by lashing out actually reinforces the neural pathways that lead people to behave violently….thus causing more stress in the long term! This product is like cigarettes!

So you break it open and meditate to the cd you find inside? It's made of potato starch. I'm afraid I would break it and the cd inside and maybe also do some damage to the table. Those who develop the habit of punching walls sooner or later have to give it up because you put your hand through a wall and then have to pull out the putty and fix it. Fixing walls is not very therapeutic. As a result you learn not to punch walls.

this is dumb. and a waste. maybe we are all stressed out because much of modern life is as pointless as this product.

We GET it, you don’t like anything. Will you stop bitching about how every product on the site is horrible, and instead suggest better ideas?

If one studied Psychology, one would know that acting aggressive in any manner to 'relieve' stress or anger just intensifies said emotion…
I think the concept was good to an extent, but there are some flaws.

I don’t want to punch open my packages. And I don’t even buy CDs anymore. Do better next time.
STRiPESandShades says
I wonder what the inks are made of.
If they’re all natural, maybe this product should be less about stress relief and more about biodegradeable packaging.
