The Carry-On Caddy from Minimus.biz for Stress-Free Travel

Minimus.biz has some exciting news! The Carry-On Caddy™ was recently launched on our website! The Caddy was designed by Minimus Co-Founder Paul Shrater while he was going through an airport security checkpoint after the 3-1-1 rules for carry-on liquids and gels were put in place. He saw a need for a new product that would hold fliers' TSA-required quart-sized zippered bags.

The Carry-On Caddy™ is perfectly sized to fit one quart-sized zippered bag, secured by a velcroed tab, and clips to other carry-on luggage for easy access. Just slip the zippered bag in and out of the Caddy to breeze through airport security.

On a recent trip to San Francisco, I tried out the Caddy myself. The black bag conveniently clipped onto my other carry-on bag and easily held my practically-overflowing quart-sized zippered bag of my shampoo, makeup, and other liquids and gels.

I arrived at the airport in a frantic rush to get to the gate before the plane left. When I got to the security checkpoint, I was able to get in and out quickly as I didn't have to dig for my bag of liquids and gels (TSA requires that bags of liquids and gels be screened separately). I simply pulled the plastic bag out of the velcroed pouch and slipped it back in once it was cleared.

I give the Carry-On Caddy™ two thumbs up for practicality, ease, and I was still flying in style. Get your own Caddy for just $4.99 or order yours pre-packed with products for men, women, and organic lovers (in citrus and lavender options).

Fun Facts & Coupon from Minimus.biz

Two hundred and fourteen years ago, one of the most important inventions was created. Any guesses?

Well, if you guessed the cotton gin, you're right! In October of 1793, Eli Whitney applied for a patent for his cotton gin, which allowed laborers to clean 50 pounds of cotton a day (as compared to just one a day without a cotton gin) by separating the fibers of the cotton from the seed and pod.

And, to celebrate such a great invention (call me biased, if you will), get 5% off on Q-Tips® Cotton Swabs - Purse Pack - just enter COTTON5OFF at checkout. Coupon expires 10/26/07.

Java Juice

I'm a tea drinker, but our newest product line - Java Juice - has got me pretty curious. The portable .5 oz packets allow coffee lovers to enjoy a cup of coffee while on the go. Just pour the packet of liquid coffee extract into 10-12 oz of hot or cold water to enjoy.

Java Juice is USDA certified organic, kosher, packed with antioxidants, sugar free, and fat free. Plus, since the Joes at Java Juice are "committed to equitable and sustainable coffee buying practices," your conscious can rest at ease as they support Fair Trade practices.

Have I got you curious too? Java Juice comes in four delicious flavors:

• Java Juice® Liquid Coffee Extract - Original
• Java Juice® Liquid Coffee Extract - French Vanilla
• Java Juice® Liquid Coffee Extract - Hazelnut
• Java Juice® Liquid Coffee Extract - Swiss Water Decaf

I'd love to hear what you think of our newest addition - email me at Whitney@Minimus.biz.
