I ventured out to the grocery store yesterday and noticed in the Pet Aisle a Sports Drink for dogs called Rebound. It was even in a sports bottle, like Fido could squeeze it during a clutch moment of frisbee chasing.
Anyone else have any sightings similar of “Stuff we just don’t need.” ?
Each year it takes less and less time to cross the country and more time to get to and from work.

Heheheh…the toilet putter thing showed up on one of Leno’s ‘Headlines’ bit a while back. Thought it was bizarre then, think it’s bizarre now… :eek:

To use Rebound, you squeeze it into fido’s mouth. They lap it up. Yummy. Why not? These days with humans paying $2 for a quart of water, seems sane to me.
Ever been to Big Lots? They have Halloween costumes for dogs, and also aquariums set up to look like miniature football fields.
Those poor animals…
It is an heretic that makes the fire,
Not she which burns in it.
I find it ridiculous that anyone would purchase bottled water for their dog. If a dog will drink out of a toilet and from a puddle, roll in cow poop among other things, why would I provide my dog with $5.00 a gallon water?
hehe
I dunno. I find it ridiculous that people buy bottled water for themself!
I always thought bottled water should be in the same aisle as canned air. 
Wrong thinking is punished, right thinking is just as swiftly rewarded. You’ll find it an effective combination.
Unclebeer, I owe you a twelve pack for the absurdgallery link. Good stuff, not Keystone. I laughed so hard I nearly cracked a rib at the device for preventing “camel toe.”
yeah, people spend 4 bucks for some bottled water cause its like so pure, but its really laced with plastics that leach from the bottle its in.
Ordinary tap water also contains fluoride, helpful in cavity prevention.
The lamest product I’ve seen advertised recently is individual servings of cereal boxed with individual packages of milk. Phew! Thank goodness for that; having my milk and cereal stored in separate places was so time consuming and confusing for me! I mean, before now I never even realised that you could have them together! Sometimes, I’d stand in front of the fridge with a box of cereal in my hand wondering if there was a way to get something cold and wet on it!
Runner up: The frozen cookie dough put out by Betty Crocker (I think that’s who it is, I don’t recall poppin’-fresh in the commercial so I don’t think it’s Pillsbury) that’s SCORED into cubes that you break off and bake. I guess the tubes of cookie dough you have to spoon out yourself just leave too much room for error. God forbid you make an irregular sized cookie! :rolleyes:

So where can I order that Toilet Golf thing? I’ve got to have that! Then again, think of all the books I’ll miss out on…
Did they really have to say “Putt while you poot”? That’s disgusting!

OK, then, “Poot while you putt!”
Vogue,
That Pillsbury dough? It’s awesome when you have a craving for “dookie” as we called in my kidhood.
Instead of actually making cookies, we’d cut off a few slices, let them thaw a little then much down. Cuts back on the beaters and bowls!
Depending on your mood, the sugar cookie stuff is great and the chocolate chip stuff is pretty good too.
Dayum, I am in the mood for some now!
The cereal-packaged-with-the-milk thing is mostly a godsend to parents with small children; it’s something the kids can eat without damaging themselves or something in the house. When myself and siblings were small, my folks would have paid gladly for something that kept us fed and quiet while they got another 15 minutes of sleep.
If you’ve ever seen the unholy mess small children can make with cereal and milk, you’d be more understanding of such packaging.
What I want to know is who admits to buying a Klapper? A Chia Pet? Any of the other “as seen on tv” things? Just curious.

who can always tell the start of the Christmas season, the “Salad Shooter” commercial starts running.
Although I DID see a funny product advertised in my Sunday paper: “Woof-a-Roni” snacks for dogs.
your humble TubaDiva
Snausages!
Ok, I admit it. I am a sucker for anything that says, “As seen on t.v.!” I own several Chia pets, I have a good supply of Quick-n-Brite, I have used the Oxi-Clean system, I have been begging my husband to get me the Ron Popeil pasta maker, and I have already ordered a set of four of those battery powered lights that you can put anywhere. It’s an illness.
The dumber people think you are, the more surprised they’re going to be when you kill them.
OK, I wasn’t going to bring it up unless someone asked, but…
I didn’t buy one, I got one for X-mas as a kind of a gag gift. Now, I am the kind of person who hates getting up from bed to turn off the light after reading so, I put it in my room and it is killer!
Embarassing, but killer nonetheless…
