In A Box?
I have always marveled at inventors. It is the ability to see a need and fill it. A simple concept that is recreated over and over again. This week I found a product where the inventor saw the need while camping at a rock festival. I can definitely see a place for this product at a tailgate as well. I mean who wouldn’t want to sh*t in a box?
Yes my friends, this weeks product of the week is the Sh*t Box by The Brown Corporation. I am no marketing genius, but it would seem to me that if you want a wide distribution you don’t use the word Sh*t in your product name. Nevertheless, it does look like a functional piece of equipment. The idea came to Richard Wharton (The Big Sh*t) when he needed to take a dump at a rock festival. It was three days into the festival and he didn’t want to use the Port-o-let. He saw a Kleenex box in the corner of his tent and a dream was born.
The basic concept is the Sh*t Box is a collapsable box that you can easily assemble. You then insert a degradable poo bag. Instant toilet! You never have to visit that disgusting Port-o-let again. The box costs around $31 and comes with 10 poo bags.
I think they have a great idea here. I would recommend a name change and probably a different logo, but I admire the cavalier attitude.

Great idea, but just how sturdy. Been known to sit awhile. And when your buddy doesn’t want you to sh@t in his RV then this might be the way to go. Not bad, Box should be a bit cheaper.
