The 'Break Tiem' Tie Helps You Pass the Time at Work

The 'Break Tiem' is an inventive necktie made specifically to distract you from the dull days in the office. This disposable dapper piece of menswear is equipped with a bubble wrap lining, allowing you to pass the time by popping the little plastic air pockets.

Though intended as a gag gift, the Break Tiem designed by Microworks has legs. The Break Tiem answers the age old question: how the heck do I keep myself from going crazy at work without getting fired?
