I got a gift card for thinkgeek a few years ago. Couldn't find anything I wanted. Tried giving the code away to coworkers, family, even posted it on hn, reddit, and some chans. Literally nobody used it.

Thinkgeek died when they stopped being for geeky programmers and started to cater to disney nerds.

I remember buying a ninja remote aka tiny tv remote back in highschool so that I could change the channels on the old TVs. RIP.

We all had a moment buying some dumb overpriced toy from think geek 15 years ago right?
