10 Useless Products That People Are Still Buying
Some things exist just to make us question reality. You’d think with all the tech and innovation in the world, we’d be spending money on, you know, useful stuff. But nope — people are out here practically setting their wallets on fire blowing money on useless products. From completely unnecessary kitchen gadgets to random luxury items, these are the most hilariously pointless products people keep spending money on.
1. Bottled Air
Do you live in a polluted cesspool? No worries. You can just buy your air in a can right on eBay. And we thought this was exclusive to the Lorax’s plot.
2. USB-Powered Pet Rock
Pet Rock might be one of the most useless toys ever created, and the USB-powered version is no different. The description admits that the USB doesn’t actually do anything at all to the rock, and is instead just another layer of, “What does this thing even do?” confusion.
3. Designer Paper Bags
We don’t care if the word “Chanel,” “Prada,” or “Gucci” is proudly displayed on the outside of a paper bag. They’re still just paper bags.
4. Embroidered Toilet Paper
Call it a crazy hunch, but we’re pretty sure this is just going to end up getting flushed down the toilet. We’ll be sticking with Charmin.
5. Banana Slicer
Because using a knife is too complicated? Seriously, you can use a butter knife to (very easily) slice a banana.
6. Cat Wigs
Because your cat totally wants to look like a grumpy Kardashian.
7. LED Toilet Lights
Everyone loves a good rave while they pee!
8. Edible Coffee Cups
Get outta here. Leave this for soup in a bread bowl or taco salad in a tortilla chip bowl. There is no place for this sogginess in the culinary or cafe worlds.
9. Gold-Plated Staples
Remember when Elle Woods had custom pink stationery that she spritzed with perfume? Gold staples give off the same vibe. Luxury documents are just not necessary, folks.
10. Single-Use Plastic Toothpaste Squeezer
Just use your hands. Seriously.
