Prank Baby Shower Card Plays Newborn's Cries For Three Hours (And Will Only Stop If Battery Dies)
This Is A Baby Shower Card With A Cruel Twist

Gifts given at baby showers usually help mums-to-be prepare for their arrival with babygros, wet wipes and a shed load of nappies.
But this new invention could be the most practical way to prepare a parent-to-be for the early days - a "musical" greeting card that plays a newborn's cries for three hours.
The cries don't stop unless the battery dies (or someone manages to destroy it).
And to make matters worse, each time you press the sound button in the card during the three hours, the cries just get louder.

The card won't stop playing newborn cries for three hours
The card is one of several prank cards created by Travis and Nick Peterson the founders of Joker Greetings.
It's described on the company's website as the "perfect way to welcome soon-to-be parents to the joys of parenthood with the soothing sounds of incessant crying."
The card, originally launched on Kickstarter, has "the gift that keeps on giving" written inside.
Travis, who has a three-year-old and another baby on the way, said his own life experience influenced the design of this particular card.
How to play: Freeze a bunch of small babies in an ice cube tray. People put the frozen baby ice cubes in their drink. When the ice cube melts and the baby is floating, you yell "my water broke" to win a prize. (credit:Pinterest)
