What is the most useless thing you have ever seen manufactured?

Asked by Skaggfacemutt (9820points) July 23rd, 2009

I think the stupidest item I have ever seen is a two-piece collapsible spork that was packaged with my salad. WTF!!

@Likeradar Thanks for the good laugh =P

It might not be the most useless, but the Slap Chop is pretty pointless. It doesn’t take that long to cut up something as small as what that cup covers.

Sporks have to be the worst!

If not the spork, perhaps the splayd?

the slinky, its soo useless after hew minutes and it tangles itself all time that its purpose is much more useless.

@mally03 truck balls serve a purpose. They help identify the egomaniacal morons on the road, and makes it a little easier to spot them.

Sandy, I love you for showing me this product. I won’t be using it for TP however….

@sandystrachan Wow. (I’d think any advantage to being a “big guy” would be outweighed by the disadvantage of not being able to wipe your own ass.)

This portable urinating device for women that looked like a porcelin gravy holder (so they could use the restroom anywhere). I was kind of in aw, and alittle shocked watching the models “operate” it; It came out of Germany. Another useless item is the HD glasses, holy crap it is retarded. You have to be a COMPLETE idiot to think that they intensify your site, and make everything crystal clear.

HD Glasses anybody?? So you can see everything in high definition!! Yey!!!

@AtSeDaEsEpPoAoSnA Altho I’ve never owned or used a portable urinating device, I’m sure in some instances, they’d be welcome. Women can’t just whip something out to relieve themselves like you guys can. I have a very good friend who was stranded several years ago in a blizzard. She had to resort to a styrofoam cup.

Those annoying, somehow snide radar- speed display devices the police set up on some streets.

1. my car is already equipped with a speedometer.

2. i’m perfectly capable of modulating my car’s throttle.

3. my velocity isn’t the business of the public, displayed for all to see.

Females can urinate anywhere , even standing up without an attachment .

AtSeDaEsEpPoAoSnA's avatar

Ok @jbfletcherfan… If you are trapped in a blizzard, I can see how it would be useful. But it sounds like the cup pervailed.

@sandystrachan Let’s see you stand up in a vehicle!!!

@AtSeDaEsEpPoAoSnA yep, it did that day.
