City Mitts

Attention all obsessive compulsive straphangers! Subway-riding germophobes rejoice! A revolutionary product has been released just for you!

Enter the City Mitt.

Afraid to touch those poles on the subway? Just throw on a pair of City Mitts, made with a special antimicrobial fabric embedded with silver ions that’s supposed to inhibit bacteria growth. And you never have to worry about catching the asian bird flu, AIDS, or hepatitis from the subway again! You may, however, look like a complete idiot (especially in the summer). But who cares? You’re safe from those icky germs.
