Let’s face it: in this day and age we are constantly on the hunt for something no-one has already seen/done/heard. Sometimes it takes going back to the past to recreate something old – but with a 00’s twist.
Remember the calculator? The things old ladies and super-organised list-carrying shoppers arm themselves with for the weekly grocery shop. Most people use their mobile phone for +/- nowadays, which is indeed very handy – but what about the eternal search for the kitsch factor? And then along came a calculator so thin, so sleek… friends, may I present – the credit card calculator!
It (obviously) fits right in the card holder of your wallet and it’s the only one that won’t charge you any fees – rather, it’ll help figure out how to save a dollar or two when splitting a restaurant bill (in style).

About
FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
