Samsung Helix MP3 Player
A helix is a twisted, spiral sort of shape. Samsung’s Helix isn’t a helix.
Helix also manufactured ’shatter resistant’ rulers when I was a kid. Fittingly, we always tried to test the shatter resistance of these rulers by attempting to bend them into a helix. To a child ’shatter resistant’ means ‘indestructable’.
I now realise that all it meant was that when you broke the ruler by trying to make it into a helix, it snapped cleanly rather than smashing into hundreds of shards.
Can’t wait to see how this Helix breaks. Probably by being sat on while residing in a back pocket, I’d guess.
