      They sold the rights to make the magic wand about a decade ago. No longer Hitachi, alas.

        Because Hitachi was embarrassed about their innocent personal massager being used for such unwholesome activities. Literal PR move.

          I thought Magic Wands were used almost exclusively for holesome activities.

    Ever heard of Big Deal Custom Cases? They’re a company in Winnipeg, Manitoba who started out making road cases for musicians before diversifying into laptops, field equipment, basically anything breakable anyone needed to carry from one place to another.

    Imagine what they thought when NASA phoned them up to build giant cases to carry the sails for the James Webb Space Telescope from the manufacturer to their headquarters.
