In a capitalist society driven by competition there are always going to be people coming up with inventions, whether they are good or not is up to the consumer. Here is a list of some inventions that made us say, “Thanks for Nothin’!”.
1. Butter Stick
This Japanese invention solves the age old problem of “what if I need butter on the go?”. Who wouldn’t want butter in their purse or backpack? Not me. Thanks but no thanks.
2. Fish Walker
Fish make great pets for smaller/cramped living environments: they are low maintenance, need little room, and can lighten the mood of a room. But what if you want to walk it through the streets? That’s what this Northern English inventor must have been thinking when he came up with this device.
3. Hand Visor
Have any of you had a hard time cupping your hand over your eyes to block the sun? Do you still have the hand dexterity to hold and manipulate a handle for something? Well then this invention might just be for you! Actually it is most likely for you, because I can’t imagine why anyone else would need this.
4. Cheeto Dust Guards
This was hard to put on here since it actually seems useful! Who wouldn’t want to avoid the messy struggle of powdery dust from all sorts of snack foods getting on your hands? But after exactly 0.1 seconds I remembered that napkins (as well as my mouth) exist to clean off the messy cheeto dust from my fingers.
5. Topping Placer
This would never cause a mess right? Especially since it is for kids.
6. Pizza Slice Scissors
I see no problem with this…
Anyway, those are just a handful a bad ideas that ended up becoming something. If you ever start beating yourself up over a bad idea you had, just remember there is always someone who had a worse idea.
