The first time I saw this thing it was marketed as something to hold a pair of eye glasses on the front of a shirt if you don’t have a pocket. One half goes on the inside of your shirt and the other goes on the outside. They’re held together, in place, with really strong magnets.

You might want to edit out the "delivering to" on that screenshot, fyi!

I appreciate the heads up, but it switched to Amazon Canada when I clicked the link and seemingly just put in random info lol that is not even remotely close to my name nor does it resemble in any way where I live

As someone from near by to Balzac, that is one hell of an abscure place to put you. I think theres exactly 10 people that live there and there's some giant malls. That's about it.

I just looked on wiki and it says population 1 person.

Correct! 15 minutes is doing pretty good for me with these!
