25 Ridiculous Inventions
With our advanced brain and opposable thumbs, mankind, without a doubt, rules the world. Using these two great characteristics, we have come up with many wonderful things that have contributed to the development of civilizations. Sometimes, though, the creative process becomes a seemingly weird mix of strange genius, lack of common sense, skills, and perhaps alcohol. The result: ridiculous inventions.
Baby Toupee
Because it's never too early to make your child feel like Donald Trump.
Doggles
I think my dog will hate me if I make him wear these.
To Do Tattoo
What's wrong with writing the list on a piece of paper?
Motorized Cone
Some people are just too lazy to rotate their cone when eating ice cream. Hence, the motorized cone. Genius, right?
Wine Glass Holder Necklace
How do you walk with this hanging from your neck without spilling your wine?
Inflatable Toast
Some of us are so unfortunate that we don't have big lunch bags. In fact, there are some of us that have no lunch bags. Thankfully, we have inflatable toasts that we can just stuff in our back pockets.
Infant Hand Pillow
Okay, how freaky are those things?
Time Beam
Or you can use your watch. That's cool, too.
Paper Email
Wow, there's even a BCC field!
Spaghetti Twirler
Another wonderful product for the guy who can't rotate his own ice cream cone.
Plastic Wishbone
Why? I have absolutely no idea.
Tandem Toilet
Will save your marriage and the environment. But like I said, no thank you.
Half Deck
I have always found card games boring. I feel that these will definitely make them more interesting.
DVD Rewinder
How I was able to live years watching DVDs without a rewinder is beyond me.
Pratone Grass Chair
You pay more than $14,000 for this. I think I'll just go and sit on my yard.
Finger Plate
I wish they'd come up with a diamond-encrusted one to match my couture gown.
Global Warming Rug
Now that is just depressing. Especially because I'm sure the polar bear will be terrorized by my cat.
Lap Pillow
If girls can have the boyfriend pillow, lonely guys can buy this.
Dribble Glass
Because normal glasses are just so boring.
Wrist Phone Carrier
Can you find anything more chic than that thing?
Immersion Scarf
Because you will be so inconspicuous with this, no one will ever think of taking a peek at your phone's screen.
Boyfriend Arm Pillow
I don't know about you but I would be creeped out with this on my bed.
Flatulence Deodorizer
Apparently, this is VERY useful.
Beer Bra
This is in production. I will be okay with this if they come up with a refrigerated beer bra.
Pillow Wig
I think I'll choose coffee over this.

19 Apr 10 at 09 31 pmhahahah i like these although dvd rewinder is a dvd scratch remover. just ironically named.
-
Miami19 Apr 10 at 09 34 pmI m definitely going to need the DVD rewinder. I ve been rewinding them by hand all these years. I keep rotating them, and rotating them, and rotating them... it takes forever, and feels like you re making no progress at all.

Movie19 Apr 10 at 09 43 pmPerhaps it s a different variant, but the one I ve seen for sale is the "Wine Rack". The beer version is called the "beer belly". I think Firebox sell both.

You are terrible19 Apr 10 at 09 51 pmSome of these are joke products... they are MEANT to be ridiculous
-
19 Apr 10 at 10 48 pmI think you re reading way too much into these, as some of them are really cool and for people who appreciate the small things in life. You clearly don t.

Evan20 Apr 10 at 02 37 amThere are about 8 of those that I would buy and even some that are useful.

20 Apr 10 at 05 15 amLooks like whoever took this seriously is playing with the other half of the deck

20 Apr 10 at 07 22 amThe dog glasses actually have a purpose. Some dogs, because of their breeding, have very sensitive eyes which must be protected from strong sunlight. They also require sunblock, just like humans. White bulldogs are one example. Of course many people buy these things to be cute and that is rather silly.

20 Apr 10 at 08 08 amI use the "to do list" tattoos--I have severe ADD, and the piece of paper thing doesn t work. The tattoos stay on for several days, and it feels good to cross off an accomplishment. Plus, the pens are specifically for drawing on skin.

20 Apr 10 at 08 53 amI won t lie. I bought a DVD Rewinder as a gag gift a few years ago. :-)

20 Apr 10 at 11 31 amThat pillow wig makes me think of the Katamari Damacy. That or some kind of nun hat for a religion whose central tenets and dogma revolve around the taking of naps.

Evan20 Apr 10 at 01 58 pmI keep seeing the wine holder pop up in various lists just like this around the web. Please note that this is NOT for normal wine drinking. It is primarily sold at and for food and wine shows and if you ve ever been to one you would end up buying one for yourself in the first half hour.

21 Apr 10 at 04 42 amThe cards are not new. I ve known people all my life that have not been playing with a full deck

24 Apr 10 at 06 33 am@katie:That`s what I thought the first time I heard of it, but every description I`ve read says it just spins the disc and plays a "rewind" sound. Apparently it`s strictly a novelty item.

13 Jun 10 at 07 05 pm@Evan:
I concur, I have used one myself at a seafood festival.
Except, I shortened the rope so it sat under my chin and used a straw....No hands drinking FTW!!!!
