Where is LEGEND for the pool balls on cpap.com?
Every time I peek at cpap.com I see them, but have no clue what they mean.
There must be a legend somewhere, I just have not found it.
Thanx

I thought they were simply convenient size references.

I notice car keys with some images, so size reference might be it.
Can you imagine posing a Barbie doll next to a machine--like the Price is Right models?

Re: Where is LEGEND for the pool balls on cpap.com?
Howdy,
The legend of the pool balls on CPAP.com all started the day a baby dinosaur was found in CPAP.com warehouse backstock zone E4....ehhh, sorry, its not that interesting.
The pool balls are indeed size references. Back in the day, my thinking was keys come in many sizes, but everyone knows how big a pool ball is. Plus they photograph pretty well and have a lot of colors.
Marketing does not share my love of pool ball photographs. It is a bit of a running joke around the office. "Yeah Johnny, you think so? How did that pool ball decision work out? Have a cookie."
Here is some some attempted sizing reform, tennis ball and keys, which I think came out pretty nicely:
https://www.cpap.com/cpap-machine/devil ... tflex.html
Suggestions welcome on other items we could/should include as universal size references. They've got to be known by everyone, photograph well and be pretty obviously NOT part of what was ordered. There are reasons we have to say "the pool ball doesn't come with the CPAP" in our picture descriptions!
So there you have it, the legend of the CPAP.com pool balls.
Johnny

Given that most xPaps are older how about using dentures
