Everyone gets angry, sometimes.
It might be that guy who cut you off on exit 5. Maybe they ran out of glazed donuts. Maybe you run an advice podcast and someone sent you their math homework. It happens. People get angry.
A lot of different people have come up with a lot of different solutions for dealing with anger. Yoga, tea, alcohol, any number of remedies can be good for some people. Some people however, just need to flip a table.
The Portable Flipping Table
Flipping tables can be hazardous. Sometimes the table can take a strange trajectory while airborne and take an eye out. Sometimes it might hit a wall and put a hole in it. They're unwieldy beasts, and they're not very portable.
We've developed a small, portable table that is made for one true purpose, to flip. And how glorious it feels to flip that table. Got an F on that social studies test? Flip this table. That pretty lady turned you down? Flip this table. Milk went bad because you didn't drink it fast enough? Well, stop buying gallons, start buying half gallons. Oh, and flip this table.

The Cost
We're working with Trendex, the company behind great products like the Minecraft Foam Swords / Pick Axes, the Portal 2 Cookie Cutters, the Talking Turret toys, and a slew of other well-manufactured toys. We want to make something that isn't going to break after a couple of flips. Making a quality toy isn't cheap.
The mold itself is the most expensive part of the process. The mold for our table is going to cost $3,300, and the tables themselves are going to cost even more. So. that's why we need to raise at least $5,330. We've got a number of great stretch goals that will make the product more fun, and in the event of great success, we'll also be making some of our other pet projects a reality.
