A phone you can crumple up like a receipt before you put it in your pocket

Well phones already vibrate so they're ahead of the curve in that regard.

I'm waiting for the twelvefold myself.

Dick stuck in Samsung and I have to pee.

When you said shaving razors, I thought you were going to go with disposable, but you went with multi blades. Good head fake.
