Ah, that makes more sense then. Still a useless product, but a bit more understandable as to why people would buy it. That's really interesting.

The Leaf Blower. Completely useless, and annoying lol.

And I can't believe no one has mentioned the ShamWow yet

^^ both of those are totally useless! my friend's mom had a ShamWow and she was so annoyed by it she threw it out

Oh yea. You find the CRAZIEST things at Christian stores. You can buy cross shaped mints. It's like are they more Christian than regular mints?

Oh, I know! I was standing in line once, & I saw these Christian breath mints called Testimints! They're just regular mints, but they have a little verse on them. What are you gonna do though? Hope that someone comes to Christ because you have nice breath?! I suppose they're more "spiritual" or something. Lol!

yeah, I have seen men's socks at Christian bookstores that have crosses on them. CHEEZY!

Some of these are really hilarious/ridiculous

I've heard of Twilight ice cream flavors.

Can I just ask, what flavour would that even be?! I mean, can you imagine Narnia flavours? I can't believe I once reasonably liked Twilight when I read it. All the stuff that has grown up around it is simply ridiculous.

Japan has some really ridiculous stuff on sale, but I can't think of anything right now. I'll come back when I do.

Well, I was just in Guatemala and I was at an outdoor market and I saw a hat with black dreadlocks attached to it. So I just kind of reached up and touched it and said, "oh I wonder what this is made of?" to a guy who was with me. And he whispered to me, "Julie, don't touch that. It's made
of real human hair.". I'm like "What!!!" He said that he asked the person running the stall what it was made out of and they said hair. He said it could be animal hair or human hair or a combination of the two but it was definetly real hair. I was so grossed out.

One of the kids on the trip actually bought one and was wearing it around. Anyway, I thought that was really weird and outrageous.

I mean, can you imagine Narnia flavours?

Haha. Yes, yes I can. It would be red and golden yellow, and would be all sherbert-y. Strawberry-Banana or Cherry-Lemon LOL.

Aside from that.. I saw a baby-shower toy on some website... It was this toy that you put little plastic babies on it and it catapulted them. =/. What in the world? There was also a 'cat-a-pult' with kittens... There are insane things out there these days....

Do silly bands count as useless and silly (haha )?

^^ I think so.....they have no use that I can see

^^ I agree. Silly bandz are pretty much pointless.

Well, they have just about as much purpose as other accessories, jewelry, and clothing: you wear them. That seems hardly pointless to me. And they're fun shapes! I don't personally wear them, but pointless? Hardly.

^^ the reason I think they are pointless is this: they are bracelets, but when you put them on, the shapes are not seen, therefore making shaped bracelets pointless..... IMO

Anyone hear of "Bear Bells"?

In Scouting there is a little story we tell some newer scouts, or those unfamilier with the outdoors. It goes a little like this.

Due to bear attacks in the area we recommend that those hiking wear bear bells. These are little bells that clip on you clothing, so bears are not caught unawares by you in the woods. Should the bear be aggressive we suggest you carry pepper spray to fend it off.
Now it is important to be able to identify the kind of bears in the area. You do so by examining the scat(droppings). Black bear scat contains the leftover berries and such that they commonly eat. Grizzley bear scat can be identified easily because it contains little bells, and smells of pepper spray.

And yes, I have found "bear bells" in a camping section of a local Wal-Mart.

Well, I just saw something that was rather odd

Candwiches, sandwiches in a can

It was linked on another forum I go too and well.
