Bago: A Hilarious Object Designed to Keep Bags Upright on the Floor of a Car

I don’t deny that this object is clever (for what it is), but I’m stunned that people would purchase one for the $22 asking price. Bago seems like a simple thing to rig up. It’s basically an adjustable strap and a small A-clamp. You throw one end into the glovebox, then attach the clamp to a bag on the floormat, holding it upright:

This seems like one of those quirky only-in-Japan objects. Instead it was invented–and successfully crowdfunded, on both IndieGogo and Kickstarter–by a guy named Dan Stevenson, who hails from Atlanta. Congrats to Stevenson. To the rest of you, here’s proof that if you have the idea for a simple and even narrowly useful object, there’s probably a market out there for you.
