14 DAY TRIAL // The Cheeky is a website aiming to disregard norm and “challenge pointlessness.” It also offers a unique and quite hilarious way of traveling, thanks to a set of four Suitcase Stickers.
Should you ever get bored of your old suitcase, you can spice things up a bit with one of the four stickers, which make it look like it’s ripped and anyone can see inside it.
Depending on which sticker you choose, you can have people (including customs staff) believe you’re trying to smuggle money, cocaine or even a stewardess in or out of the country.
A fourth sticker says something about your wild (and permanently unsatisfied) side, by making your suitcase look as if filled with objects of pleasure, to put it in a very delicate manner.
All four stickers come with a price tag of $50 (without postage and packaging) and, as The Cheeky puts it, they will guarantee you will not walk through the airport, train or bus station without at least a handful of people looking at you – and sizing you up.
“Take a stand against monotonous travel with Suitcase Stickers. Designed to stick to anything, they will draw attention to your bag making it easily identifiable and sure to make you some new friends,” reads the description of the set of stickers.
“Caution: Some of these stickers may cause offense to airport and immigration staff. But you would have figured that out whilst enjoying those cavity searches,” The Cheeky further says.
Sadly, because Canada officials don’t really have much of a sense o humor, sales of the Stickers in this country has been suspended indefinitely, another post on the website announces with a tinge of regret.
“Our intention has never been to cause risk or harm and was only to make stickers; stickers to put on a bag that might make people take a second glance and maybe smile… at the sticker. It’s a sticker. Our exposure to this media attention has been fun but not fun enough to hang out in prison and this statement puts us in a very awkward place,” The Cheeky says of selling the product in Canada.
“The many orders for suitcase stickers that we have had in Canada will be fulfilled but after that we can’t take the risk and we’re sorry. All other products on thecheeky.com will continue. We hope,” the statement further reads.
