    Devil's Dumplings. For an ad to get that in is hilarious.

    Products that shouldn't exist, like a battered Mars bar?

    I think people are smart enough to figure it out.

    Craft beer,multiple gin brands that suddenly came on the market at the same time and gourmet burgers.

    Synthetic liquid sprays for people with dry eyes, it's even recommended to be sprayed upon closed eyelids.

    Makes you wonder how ever did the medieval blacksmith manage to tend the furnaces and hot anvil back in the olden times without the aid of big pharma. So too the countless dry, hot bakery staff not to mention desert nomads wading their 125cc camels in 50oC sandstorms.


    Here's an idea: blink every once in a while between taking selfies.

    Selfie sticks. Never had one and don't intend to buy one either.

    Jaysus Lynx Africa. Now there's a blast from the past. It must 15 or 20 years since I last heard tell of Lynx Africa. It had some waft off it.

    Now that's not in keeping with the thread.

    It'd be a shame for this to turn in to products I don't like but others do.

    Like beard trimmers. Have a proper shave ya hippy.

    Mod/op rename it "pointless products that shouldn't exist but do. "

    The water one is a good example early on of how this thread should go imo

    Are you saying that dry eye is a symptom of just not blinking enough? Which is somehow linked to taking selfies??

    Own brand instant coffee.

    Banana slicer. More expensive and more time-consuming than just using a knife.

    Pre prepared and plastic wrapped fruit and vegetables except maybe for people with disabilities like arthritis that make it hard to use their hands.

    That toilet fragrance is the biggest load of horsesh1t I've heard of. Open a window and look at your diet if it's that bad.

    Also machines to compost your kitchen waste. It doesn't require a fancy machine. If you want to speed it up, get some worms from the ground and they'll do it for you.

    Coffee in plastic pods. Disposable sanitary products and nappies, except as an emergency measure or for people with unusual demands on their time and energy. You wash all of your clothes, they can be washed in a normal wash. Just pre soak. I get that it's nice to have a labour saving thing but people are paying a fortune for gyms after paying a fortune to save them physical effort at home. And look at the state of the planet after all the nappies and sanitary products. Yuck...

    Hands free soap dispensers - "never touch a germy soap pump again!"

    Who gives a toss how "germy" it is, you're washing your hands literally within a second!

    The Kardashians.

    Women's razors.

    They're just razors, do they still charge the poor lasses a premium for them?

    Loads of baby products that have the target group of first time parents that don't know better.
    I don't know how many things I bought with my first one that were such a waste of space and money.
    The leader imo would be the 3-in-1 travel set. I know plenty of people that just change the thing within the first year for a small buggy that's so much cheaper and lighter. I'm guilty of that myself, I got one for the second one and changed it when she was 4 months old to some cheap buggy that reclines completely. I can operate that one easily with one hand because it's light enough.
