The Verdict
Someone photoshopped Nicolas Cage's face onto a banana, printed it on a pillow, manufactured it at scale, shipped it across an ocean, and listed it for seventeen dollars. Every single person in that supply chain made a choice, and every one of those choices was correct.
The Good
- ✓The pinnacle of human artistic achievement, arguably
- ✓Combines two of the internet's greatest obsessions into one textile
- ✓Perfect for the person who thought the sequin Cage pillow wasn't enough
- ✓Seventeen dollars to own what is essentially a surrealist painting
The Bad
- ✗You now own two Nicolas Cage pillows and you need to reckon with that
- ✗Explaining this to a date requires a PowerPoint presentation
- ✗The banana-to-Cage ratio is fixed and cannot be adjusted
$17.00 on Amazon. Prices may vary.
