Filed under: Internet ToolsTravel writers would like to think we're above the average traveler when it comes to souvenirs - we don't sport I <3 New York tee shirts or buy a shot glass from every city we visit ... unless it's a really, really good one. But there's a good chance we might make fun of the average fanny pack-wearing traveler for doing so. Hey, a good dose of kitsch never hurt anyone, right?
That's why we're practically peeing our pants with laughter over writer Doug Lansky's new website, CrapSouvenirs.com, originally covered over on The Huffington Post, where Lansky is a writer.
The user generated blog encourages people to submit the crappiest, tackiest and funniest souvenirs and momentos they encounter in their travels. From bottle openers engraved with images of the Pope (above) to pirate heads and rasta bananas (both from Tennessee, no less), we are starting to feel like our collection of Starbucks mugs from various cities isn't that bad. At least those are useful.
