Comments: A fun-house mirror was incorporated to make the consumer appear thinner. For one-third the price of traditional methods, a 0.002-thick Mylar surface was used in combination with an adhesive and unique laminating technique to overcome the problem of the Mylar showing any texture of the substrate, which would negatively affect the reflection or clarity of the mirror's surface.
