‘boo-boos’ aren’t for everyone, especially those with a weak stomach. the bandaids, by designer sherwood forlee–whose the. studio was responsible for anti-theft lunchbags–are a fully functioning product. however, the images featured on each one make any wound look much worse than it actually is. if not, a trip to the hospital might be a better option!

forlee came up with the idea after being involved in a gruesome accident that involved more than a little blood and some minor tissue damage. after a trip to the ER a plain bandage was used to cover his wound, but forlee thought it would be more fun to show it off. currently, the project is raising funds on kickstarter.
