Wacky: Real Fire, Fake Krackle
Toolmonger: "So some guys are sitting around their gas stove one day thinking, “You know what this fire needs? Some crackle!” Then some down-home American ingenuity kicked in, and they probably sank their life savings into a company to bring us the Cracklebox — a digital recording of “real country fires in southwest Virginia” contained in a tiny box. According to the Kracklebox site “What Kracklebox provides, in a word, is realism.”"

Wait, what do you need to use this for? Movies already have fire sound and your fire at home, if real, has realism... so now you pay $50 for the sound of fire and use it where? Would a sound designer use this....I wonder if they make a profit. If so are they going to make wave sounds, or the forest. ummm ok.
I actually think that this product can find a place in high school theaters and educational settings where you wouldn't necessarily have a sound designer, but rather just a sound mixer. Granted that seems like a small demographic to be selling to. Who thought this was the next great invention that America needed?
