The black one costs more. Because of course it does. Ten grand for a toilet.

WHICH SHOULD YOU BUY?

BUY THE BANANA SLICER IF:

  • You want the best dollar-to-bewilderment ratio in all of commerce
  • You enjoy reading Amazon reviews as a form of literature
  • You need a gift under $10 that will be remembered for decades
  • You believe a knife is too much technology for a banana
GET THE BANANA SLICER ($5)

BUY THE SMART TOILET IF:

  • You want your bathroom to have more technology than your office
  • Heated seats and ambient lighting sound like a reasonable bathroom upgrade
  • You have $10,500 and a plumber who also troubleshoots Bluetooth
  • You want every guest to spend 45 minutes in your bathroom pressing buttons
GET THE SMART TOILET ($10,500)

The banana slicer wins on value, meme legacy, and the sheer audacity of existing at a $5 price point. The smart toilet wins on actual features, luxury experience, and the ability to play Spotify while you contemplate your financial choices. Both are excellent purchases. The gap between them is $10,495 and the entirety of modern plumbing technology.
