"Small mentions of adult products in mainstream media can have an outsized effect on sales," a retailer told PageSix.
In the film, Clooney's character, Harry Pfarrer, is very appreciative of two marital aids: "The Liberator Ramp," which costs $112 and allows couples to experiment with different positions, and "The Silky," a vibrator.
Since the release of the Coen brothers comedy, in which Clooney co-stars with pal Brad Pitt, sex shops have seen an increase in customers asking for the products.
