Living in a hyper-capitalist superpower of a country is a very strange thing indeed. There’s all sorts of pros and cons that could be debated for days, but one thing’s for sure: it produces a lot of weird crap.
Everybody’s trying to make a buck, to find a niche, to create something that somebody somewhere will just BUY. And this ends up expanding WAY beyond the practical and even the luxurious into the just plain bizarre.
So here, courtesy of Reddit, are 10 things that probably shouldn’t exist, but they do anyway.
10. Coffee Off Board Motor
Warning: jittery waters ahead.
9. A Rubik’s Chest
This is kind of cool, actually. Assuming the person you’re giving it to can solve one of these easily. Otherwise it’s cruel.
8. Cowboy Heels
Oh like…like figuratively AND literally.
7. Rock Paper Scissors (the card game)
And here I’ve been using my hands for free like an idiot!
6. Shower Toilet
What maddening set of circumstances led to this engineering?
We can’t know. There’s just no way to know.
5. The AAAA Keyboard
You’ve tried the best, now look at the rest.
4. The Monopoly Wall
Monopoly was, ironically, originally created as a gamified illustration of the systems that create drastic wealth inequality.
3. Portable Fish Tank
I’m guessing this is probably for like…researchers? Aquariums?
But it’s probably just for like, Dave.
2. Tesla Tequila
Just don’t invent an entire underground tube distribution system just for it, ok Elon?
1. The Cat Poop Calendar
Because screw you, that’s why.
I think I’m done window shopping for now.
Would you buy any of these products? Why or why not?
