How many times have you just wanted to mindlessly scroll through some social network and you were shocked with the ads for the weirdest possible stuff? It is almost remarkable that people spend their money on some stuff, but it is true. Believe it or not, there is even a Reddit community dedicated to unbelievable products you can buy online. There is not a better reaction to this than “oh, that’s actually a thing”. If you want to find out more about this crazy stuff and maybe even get inspired to buy something for your own home, then just keep reading!
Master Mower
Have you heard of the saying “if it looks stupid, but it works, it is not stupid”? If you were to see this image somewhere in your neighborhood, you would probably burst out laughing. But if you think about it, this is so crazy that it actually might work. Billion-dollar idea alert! Could you imagine mowing your whole lawn in just one or two moves? Yeah, seems kind of crazy!
This move probably did not work out as this hero in the picture imagined it, but it sure made us laugh and maybe remind us we should mow our lawn.
Coffin
This is literally to die for! It might make sense if you love to go on the beach but you hate the sea. And the sun. It looks like a pretty confusing beach item, not to mention it could become very dangerous if you are dealing with high waves. Someone compared it to a Viking funeral, and we have to say this truly looks like a way to do that.
It might be fun for a few crazy Instagram posts, but if you care a bit about your safety, do not buy this because it doesn’t just look like a coffin.
Lights
There is always that one person that takes it a step too far when it comes to festivities. Ugly Christmas sweaters became a big hit in the last few years, but some Christmas items should just remain on eBay. Like this Christmas beard light. It looks kind of fun. But would you want your boyfriend to wear this at a family Christmas dinner? Or maybe to a Christmas Eve party?
Not to mention the safety question, this looks like a beard-caught-on-fire in the making. So if you want to do festive clothing this Christmas, just buy a sweater or some socks.
Chernobyl
We don’t know how to feel about this one exactly. In one way it is a funny twist to a cheesy souvenir classic, but then again if you have some connections with this tragedy you might find it offensive. This tragedy changed the lives of a whole generation living in Chernobyl, so this kind of humor could in fact trigger some people, even though the intentions of the globe were not cruel.
It might not be the most appropriate souvenir from your Eastern European trip, but if you want a conversation starter for your next dinner party, definitely think about buying this.
Pods
There is no simple explanation for this invention. If you are freaking out about the pandemic, or you just in general love the idea of being isolated from people, then grab your wallet, this one is for you! No annoying small talk, no bad breaths, no awkward hugging, and during the summer no mosquitos! There is a high possibility of looking ridiculous, but if you love your personal space this is perfect.
Strangely, walking pods were not that big of a hit at the beginning of the pandemic, given how the people were extremely cautious and scared of real contact with others.
Balm
“Still on everyone’s lips,” says on the chapstick with Barack Obama’s face on it. We don’t know if this is the campaign’s merchandise or just a clever joke but it’s brilliant. Who wouldn’t want to apply their chapstick with Barack Obama smiling on them and “apply liberally” written on it? Someone wrote that Obamacare covers even the driest lips and we cannot help but laugh. But how would people react to a Trump lipstick?
Out of all the objects we can see in this “of course it’s a thing” category this one is the one we would probably use the most, and laugh at of course.
Quite Pretty
Even though it looks quite pretty, it is a little bit bizarre. In the context of the female empowerment movement, this would make a perfect fashion statement! You could pull it off in some parliament or a women’s rights rally but out of this context, it would be a bit strange. Nevertheless, it is a rarely beautiful piece of accessories and it sends a message if you think about it.
This pin does pay a great homage to the miracle of life and its origin but it would be so weird to wear any other organ like this, wouldn’t it?
DoriLays
Yes, you’ve read it correctly. This exists. Lays flavored like Doritos. So is the point of the chips to forget the taste of Lays or just to have a perfect combo of these two chips, we don’t know but this is something you just have to try out of pure curiosity. And why stop there, why isn’t there a vanilla ice cream tasting like chocolate, or Airwaves that taste like Orbit?
Not to say this isn’t tasty or is a low-quality product, but it is just weird that there is a chip whose marketing strategy is to taste like another chip.
Cowch
If you have always dreamed about farm life, owning a few animals, and living a simple life, but you can’t quite make it happen, this amusing item might bring you one step closer to your dream. It might not produce milk, but it sure comes nicely if you want to rest a bit! And If you got a marching bull sofa, could you imagine the aesthetics of the living room?
Might not be on the front cover of design magazines, but if you are into one-of-a-kind furniture that grabs everyone’s attention, this "cowch" could find its way to your home.
Pickle
Well, this is….something. Usually, girls opt for pinkish or earthy nude colors that look more natural, but this one is completely different. We are still unsure of who would want their eyes to look like pickles, but if there is someone, he or she would be very happy with this choice. Could you imagine your whole makeup to be in this tone? Beets for lips, or carrots for your cheeks?
Even though it is an original idea, it is uncertain which audience this product is made for. The colors are not the worst, but pickles and makeup do not go together.
Keanu
“Personal Philosophy and Awe-Inspiring Advice from the Patron Saint of Whoa” is the subtitle written on the cover. To be honest, you would love to read this. Keanu is an inspiration to many, and it doesn’t a surprise that people want an insight into his way of thinking. It is a form of a self-help book but it is not a cheesy classic. We bet this book disappeared from the shelves very fast.
So if you are in doubt about something, do not worry, just ask yourself - “What would Keanu do?” Keanu would most probably go and buy this great book for himself.
This Loyal
You can put your spouse on a calendar, on a mug, a t-shirt, or even on some socks. But have you ever thought about wearing your significant other’s face on the beach? Well, this lovely lady has. She went to the beach with her husband’s face on her bikini. We are not sure how the husband reacted, but who wouldn’t be happy to have a partner who is this loyal to you?
She immediately said, do not bother to come up with a line, I am taken. So if you are struggling with what to buy for the next Valentine’s day, your search is over.
Nasty
This one is just plain nasty. It is understandable why you wouldn’t want to do it in the wilderness somewhere, but to dig a hole next to your car is even more disgusting. And not just this, what about the other people in the car? Where do they go while you are doing it? Where do you put the tissues? So many different questions we don’t want the answers to.
Out of all the items listed so far, this one surely takes the prize when it comes to the nastiest one, but it could also claim the prize for being completely useless.
Short
For all of us shorties out here, this would be paradise. It gets very annoying always being the shortest person at the party. This would be so cool, for just once to not look upwards all the time. And we are sure it is the same thing with really tall people, no breaking their neck just to talk to someone shorter. But we think this concept has its expiration date.
Seems very fun to try once or twice, but any more than that would be a bit too much since this does not look comfortable at all, and walking drunk in these…
The TV
This one can easily be “Shut up and take my money” and not a “why is this a thing” item. If you have limited space in your room and you would love to watch some movies before bedtime, because we all do, then this is the perfect item for you. And you wouldn’t need to worry about accidentally breaking it since it’s hidden. And no need for wiping it, you just hide it.
Even if you have a big room this is perfect if you dislike having the tv always on, because let’s face it- if it’s in front of you all the time you will use it.
Future
They are living in 2051. out there in China. What a way to advertise your products! You can be sure that it will get noticed! But also, imagine coming back home from a night out, and all of a sudden there is a huge shark in front of you! Does not sound like fun at all. And could you imagine if Times Square had this going on? Would be so cool!
Of course, this is a thing, and we are glad it is, it’s a positive example of how technology could change our lives for the better. We are here for it!
Rockstar
The creativity behind this one! Most of us have at one point or another lost our keys and it could put us into a real pickle of a situation! But if we were to have this next to our door, for sure we would remember our keys every time. Not to mention it makes you feel like a rockstar every time you come home. This item is worth every penny!
So if you have a friend who enjoys rock and roll and ar thinking about what to buy them for Christmas, stop thinking and take out your credit card right now.
Ninja
Have you always wanted to be a samurai but you also hate the rain? You will adore this item then! It’s an umbrella that you can wear like a katana sword. So if it’s a sunny day you can just wear it like an accessorize to keep all the troubles away, and if it rains you just pull it out and use it as an umbrella. It’s a win-win item!
If you pass next to a security guard somewhere you might get some funny looks, and even a body search, but besides them, no one will dare to touch you.
Comfortable
Where do we buy this? Sitting through your whole shift in an uncomfortable chair is very annoying, and bad for your posture. So what if you could get the comfort of your home office in the real office? It would be perfect! Doing your day-to-day tasks with your legs just chilling out there. This would keep you satisfied and then you automatically become a better employee. It makes sense, right?
Just be sure not to get too comfortable, and to fall asleep during your business hours. It might make you feel so comfortable that you just want to crawl up back into bed.
Tom
Cartoon fans among us will be delighted! To be honest, you love Tom and Jerry. Everyone does. For all of us with kids or for the ones who are kids at heart, this is the best solution for your stairs. Your stairs will remain clean, and you will have a fun time wiping your feet. But be careful, it is very easy to trip over this and to end up looking like this carpet.
If you feel like buying a new carpet, but you don’t want something basic and boring, this is your item! And if you have guests it will bring up some topics!
Plugs
Ok, clean air is very important for us and we should always try to go to the places where there is a lot of it. But what if you don’t have the chance to leave the city and you want to bread fresh air all the time? Hmmm, how about buying a nose plug air filter? Yeah, not so much, we know. It just looks very uncomfortable for the nose.
It should make your breathing easier and better, but having something up your nose does not look like a way that makes it easier to breathe. And it might be dangerous!
Fun Times
Ummmm… what? A lot of items on this list go into the “would you spend your money on this” category but this one takes the wheel. What is this made for? The fidget spinner looks extra useful compared to this. Like why would someone think this is fun? Not to judge anyone’s interests but this does not look like something that could keep you entertained for longer than 5 minutes.
But surprisingly this item is sold very quickly. Not sure about the reason for this, but there is something with this item that appeals to audiences and we would love to find out what it is!
Sauce Gun
If you know someone that loves guns but is also a home spirit that loves making food for their loved ones, this is a perfect gift for them. Who wouldn't love a good sauce gun? It can surely brighten up the dullest dinners with a dose of humor. Rumor has it that it's pretty popular in Texas! Just be careful, don't shoot anybody in the eyes with the tabasco sauce!
This revolver sauce gun is a must-have for anyone who loved playing with a toy gun as a kid… This time it can be useful, as you shoot your ketchup on the fries!
Fine China
How posh can you get on a scale of 1 to fine china toilet? This looks like something that an old, upper-class lady would have… If you ever feel bored while peeing, a fine china toilet bowl will give you something to look at, as well as aim at! You can choose: shoot the lions or the parrot. Although it's completely unnecessary, we must admit: we've never seen something like this before!
Good thing the drawings are blue! It could have ended up looking pretty nasty if, let's say, the toilet drawings were in brown… And how exactly do you clean this thing?
Loading
This seems quite cute, but we have to admit that Marshall keychain looks much much cooler. That one is pretty useful and would make you remember your keys anytime you go somewhere, and this one does not look like it would do the trick. Maybe we are wrong with this, but this item does not make any sense. It is kind of a clever idea, but not worth your money.
To sum up, you can put anything on your keychain, but what would be the exact reason for putting this, who knows. Maybe some inside joke or something like that.
Holder
We all have that one clumsy friend who spills their drink at every party… But, would this glass holder help with their clumsiness? Imagine walking with this glass holder… Everything would spill directly on your shirt. The material looks like leather, so you can say it's a fashion statement. Although it doesn't seem like a safe option for your clothes, at least you can use your hands for something else!
Multi-task with wine on your neck, or wear your soda as a necklace, it's all up to you! Just be aware that you'll probably end up with a stain on your clothes…
Opener
How does someone come up with ridiculous ideas like this? This hilarious device first went viral on TikTok, and the comments were polarising. Some think that the doggie bottle opener is an amazing and funny device, perfect for all dog and beer lovers. On the other hand, some think that it's creepy and ugly. Imagine someone visiting your house, and the first thing they see is a corgi's butt on your wall!
The question people asked was: why butt and not the mouth? Well, we guess the creators of this device thought it would be funnier this way… For us is just weird.
Sunburned
Do you get sunburned easily? Say no more this one is for you. You can’t get sunburned if your whole face is covered with these sunglasses. And another thing, try getting infected wearing this. Almost impossible! But breathing? Hmmm… yes that seems like a challenge! If you are not that into breathing then this is the perfect solution for your next trip to the beach. Or just a Halloween party.
Again we are unsure who makes this, and even more as to who would buy this but in today’s world there is an audience for basically anything, so why not whole face sunglasses?
Bob
Ok, when it comes to stuffed toys you can pretty much see anything. A giraffe, a lion, a snake, an elephant, a Bob Ross? Wait, what? Bob Ross as a toy? Apparently yes, it’s a thing. Merchandise gets more and more original every day, at least when it comes to famous people. Wh would you love to see as a stuffed toy? Maybe Oprah, or Donald Trump? Kanye West maybe?
This looks cute if there is some inside joke you're playing no someone. But if you just buy this Bob Ross for your partner as Valentine’s day gift, it’s weird!
Momoa
Coloring books are usually made for kids, but we have a feeling moms would love this more than their kids would! If you don’t know about Aquaman, google it, you will be delighted! If you have a single friend who loves to color, trust us, they will love it! She doesn’t even have to be single to enjoy this gift. It lets you express your creative side in the best way.
And another great thing is his tattoos. Jason Momoa has a lot of them but with this blank canvas, you can make him some new ones! Let’s say your name….
This Is Wrong
Ok, there were some pretty disgusting items on this list, but this is beyond gross. Not to question the problem of environment and the sustainability, but some stuff doesn’t need to be reusable! This is wrong on every level and unhygienic, to say the least. Imagine your friend invites you to his house, you need to go to the toilet, and you see this just standing there in the bathroom.
The paper should be used as little as possible, but in some cases, you just need to have it buy your say. This is the best example of that situation.
Fashion Statement
Fashion trends will always surprise us, like who in their right mind would buy this? What’s next, bareheaded hat, or barehanded gloves? If you enjoy walking barefoot on the beach, that is great, but why on Earth would you need something on the top of your feet? If it’s summertime it would make you feel hotter, and if it’s colder your feer would freeze. This is a lose-lose item in our opinion.
Anyways, this item does not get a passing grade, it does not look or probably feel comfortable, and it is completely useless. Just wear some normal shoes or go barefoot completely.
Creepy
The originality of people’s minds is something that never stops to amaze! This kind of futuristic funeral ritual is something amazing yet very creepy. Funeral rituals are very important in a great number of cultures, but to which culture should we credit this? 3-D printing has changed the way a lot of things work, but who would expect it to reach this level? To be buried in your head one day!
Having your late family member’s head just standing there in your house is a bit strange, to begin with, but to have their ashes inside of it, it’s straight-up creepy!
Blueberries
Not quite the “reusable toilet paper” level disgusting but it’s there! What do you do when you have a slice of 3-week old meat in your fridge? Well very simple, just brand it as something else! Just say it is blueberries! All jokes aside, it probably is blueberries, but why would someone want to eat something that looks like it could poison you? And would you invite diner guests and serve them this?
Maybe you would, but then you probably would not need to worry as to what to cook for the next dinner date, because nobody would arrive. Which is not that bad.
Dirty
Compared to everything else we had a chance to see on this list, the last item is not so bad! It is a clever variation to the popular eggplant emoji trend online, and it holds your sauce. It is in some ways useful which is a real shock on this list. If you have a bit of a dirty mind, it is even better! Perfect for mayo or something similar.
This would also make a really cool gift if you know someone who is into social networks and texts all day long. If you know them, think about buying it.
