It works great so long as your pests are also digital. I haven’t had a single Y2K bug in my kitchen since I started using mine.
http://www.tornadoair.com/ It’s basically a piece of metal you put in your car’s intake system that is supposed to “spin” the air for more efficient combustion. :rolleyes:
Magnets. Magnets for your wrist, for your pet, for you car’s fuel line. Basically every product this company sells: http://www.ecoflow.com/

CHAOS IN YOUR BRA? Huh? I just thought that was called “Oh shit I have cracker crumbs down my shirt!”
Yes. Tightening them around the flea’s neck is a bitch.
No! They’re for your neck! You can clearly see in two different pictures on this page.
It’s not “anal control freak shit” it’s just that I really don’t want this thread derailed into one of those kinds of threads where people get all elitist about the popular, common things that they personally are above. Next it will be someone saying they don’t personally see the need to own a cell phone, and therefore it’s the most useless product they know, etc etc etc. We’ve seen those threads before. They turn ugly and they aren’t any fun at all. I’m just trying to clarify the intent of the thread so that hopefully it doesn’t take that turn. I.e., that it is for things that would be considered usless/nonfunctional/junk by most people who used them. Things that flat-out don’t work, or that end up making a task take five times as long with no better results. Things like that. Not just things that are unpopular with some small subset of people.
Nobody thinks the same way about television, unless you are completely missing the point as well. Thinking “I have no use for this thing” is not what what I’m after here. The fact that everybody knows that tons of people watch TV and get the expected results proves that they don’t fall into the category under discussion. The things that are discussed in this thread, yes people are buying them. Generally they are duped into doing so and then don’t use the things, or they continue to use them thinking they are working (in the case of fake medical stuff and magnet bracelets and EMF-shielding crystals) when they’re just snake oil.
How about Doggy Steps?
I guess it technically does what it’s supposed to, but do we need a special product just to help your little yippy dog get up on your bed?
Well my parents are devoted to their very small poodle who is getting on in years. It’s actually getting a bit dangerous for her to try to jump up on the bed, so they got her the steps. In her defense, she has woken my dad up a few times when his blood sugar dropped while he was asleep. Apparently some dogs can smell the difference.
Somebody did, or else Nicole Richie never would have gotten knocked up.
I know people like their little dogs, but couldn’t a footstool perform the same function? Or a cardboard box?
I don’t have steps, but I have a ramp. My cat is 18 1/2 years old and only has three legs. She can’t jump onto the couch but she really likes to come up there and sit by you or on your lap, and she likes the patch of sun that falls on the end of the couch. That ramp has made a huge difference in her happiness and ability to keep doing the things that make her happy.
(And a footstool wouldn’t provide enough for her… she couldn’t jump up onto that, either. Nor a cardboard box, but even if a cardboard box worked… who wants a cardboard box to become part of their permanent furniture??)
Of course! My mistake! I see women massaging their neck with those all the time! :smack:
The posh people get escalators or elevators. I’ve got it. A spiral stairs going around the pole of a floor lamp so it blends in better. People won’t even notice.
The spray on hair is really worse then you probably imagine. One Halloween when I wanted to spray on temporary white for my hair I picked up a can clearanced for $1. It was about like grade school tempera paint in the hair. I had to go back and buy the stuff I would have normally bought in the Halloween isle. It looked too bad for Halloween!
Just for the sake of clarity…in case you are refering to my Ronco Egg cuber. It doesnt cut the boiled egg into little cubes, nor does it shave/cut the boiled egg in a cube shape. Miracle of Miracles you end up with a whole boiled egg that that is cubed shape.
Interestingly enough, the yoke is often well centered.
Perhaps one day with a lot of time to kill and a party to go to I’ll take a plate of cubical deviled eggs.
Now only if I could get the yoke cubical as well.
Perhaps in the 24th century they will have that. Maybe even cubical boiled eggs that still have the shell on. Mankind can dare to dream.
Blll
Jeez Chuck, I thought I’d seen it all, but nothing quite as blatantly phony as this! How do they get away with it?? 
Yes. I had no idea so many people had such large drawers.
The sad thing is that I know lots of people who already believe that kind of garbage and one family would buy that if they weren’t poor.
In their defense, they’re Russian immigrants and are influenced by both superstition and Russian pseudoscience.
How about any product that claims to remove “toxins” from your body? I suppose they might be good, if you don’t have a functioning liver.
I’d like to nominate the nasal aspirator. I don’t know, maybe I was using it wrong, but I was never able to get it to suck anything out of either of my kids’ noses.
Are you saying that it’s the television that’s making my butt look big?
And don’t look now, but we have ear candles in the ads.
