Okay, so, I was browsing Amazon the other day (as you do), and I kept seeing these “Intex Beanless Bag Chair” things popping up. And frankly, my curiosity got the better of me. Beanless *bag* chair? That sounds like an oxymoron, doesn’t it? Like “jumbo shrimp” or “military intelligence” (lol, sorry).
Anyway, I clicked on a few links (thanks, Amazon algorithms!), and basically, what we’re talking about here are inflatable chairs… *shaped* like bean bags. Intex, that company known for swimming pools and inflatable mattresses, is trying to get in on the bean bag game. Sneaky, right?
I saw one listing for a “Intex 6 Pack Inflatable Beanless Bag Chair, Portable Blowup Lounge Seating, Gray.” Six of ’em! Imagine the inflatable empire you could build! Another listing talked about a “Intex Inflatable Contoured Corduroy Beanless Bag Lounge Chair, Gray (5 Pack).” Corduroy *inflatable*? That’s… something.
The description for one of ’em (the “Intex Inflatable Contoured Corduroy Beanless Bag Lounge Chair,” to be precise) says it’s “designed for relaxing just about anywhere; perfect for dorm rooms year-round or for guests.” Okay, I get the dorm room thing. Space is tight, these things probably deflate pretty small. But guests? I mean, are you *really* gonna offer your Aunt Mildred an inflatable bean bag chair when she comes to visit? I dunno, seems a little… inhospitable. Unless Aunt Mildred is super chill, in which case, inflatable bean bag party at your place!
Target also sells ’em. I saw a listing for the “Intex Inflatable Contoured Corduroy Beanless Bag Lounge Chair, Grey | 68579EP.” They’re offering Same Day Delivery, Drive Up, or Order Pickup. Talk about options!
Honestly, I’m kinda torn. On the one hand, they’re inflatable. Deflating is so easy. They’re probably pretty cheap, and they *look* kinda comfy. Plus, the corduroy texture is a nice touch. I mean, it’s trying, right? It’s *trying* to be a real bean bag chair.
But then, on the other hand… they’re inflatable! You know that plasticky smell they have when you first blow them up? And that slightly sticky feeling? And the fear that you’re gonna accidentally poke a hole in it with your keys? I’m not entirely convinced.
Plus, let’s be real, it’s not *really* a bean bag chair, is it? It’s an inflatable chair *pretending* to be a bean bag chair. It’s like a fake ID for your butt.
