What's the dumbest product you've ever seen?

I was in my local hardware store and found this item in the bargain bin.

I just had to buy them so i could re-sell them on ebay.  😃

I saw a Fork Cooler in one of the very, very old cartoons of the 50s or earlier.  Might have been in a Terry Toons segment.  Of course, it was more Rube Golderberg-ish.

But y'all gave me a million dollar idea.  A Peach Ripener.  AKA, a brown paper bag.  Thing is, it really works.  I've used it myself to prove it.  Concept is that peaches (and other fruits) give off a gas while ripening.  If they're picked too early, placing them in a brown paper bag captures that gas and quickens the ripening process.  A couple of years ago, I had to pick Peaches early because I had a tree climbing critter grabbing them all even though they were still hard.  They were too hard and sour for me to eat.  Found out about this trick and tried it.  Within 2-3 days they were soft, juicy and sweet as could be.

Now if anybody uses this idea and doesn't pay me the royalties, I'll VeRO you!!!!!  ;~)

LOL , I guess its getting more and more difficult to find new idea's to put on the market . I always thought the pet rock was pretty stupid  but I guess they sold  well . Our one year old puppy Jeanie has been a rock collecter  for a few months now . She always proudly brings her special ''finds''  in the house for us to inspect . My husband has been in the hospital for two weeks now . Shes been leaving her precious rock collection on his side of the bed lately  . I think in her mind  she's trying to lure him back home . I told my husband about this  and he said '' maybe we should get a rock tumbler '' ? Spiffy up her rocks  and put them up for sale ? LOL ,, hand picked or paw picked  rocks for your garden . LOL Tulips

Maybe this has a market in the fetish crowd?

Atomic Energy Lab kit came with real samples of uranium (which is radioactive) and radium (which is a million times more radioactive than uranium).

You can also rippen hard green banana's  in the oven  20 minutes at 200 degrees .  They come out black and all squishy . I've done this many times during the holidays  while making banana bread . tulips
