Random spin-off merchandise appears throughout Mel Brook's comedy "Space Balls".
Space Balls(TM) - the toilet paper, Space Balls (TM) - the Duvet cover, Space Balls(TM) - the Flamethrower, all feature at some point.
The joke is a reference to Star Wars merchandising, already a gigantic industry at the film's release in 1987.
Merchandise is a good way for films and bands to get a bit more return on their investment.
For start up bands playing a gig, the venue owner will take the door money. The T Shirt sales are their main source of income (so support your local band and buy their stuff!).
Back to films, chances are that you have some spin off product lying in the attic.
What are some of the strangest products out there? An air horn for your car that plays the Star Trek theme, An E.T. finger light, or the High School Musical time-telling musical toothbrush.
With that build up, we are happy to announce our own 'merch' is available.
The most fitting is the stainless steel travel mug.
Perfect for a robot slave on the moon. If they ever got a coffee break!
