The World’s Most Useless Inventions

Inventions! Where would we be without them? Did you know that money doesn’t grow on trees? Someone actually had to invent it! Why? So we could use it to buy other things that don’t grow on trees, like: Computers! Airplanes! And toilet paper! Well…OK, that does kind of grow on trees. But the point is, inventions make the world a safer, happier, more livable place. Then again, some are completely useless.

  1. LOL There certainly are many new products that fit in that category.

    Gotta love that Te Quiero USBear thumb drive, though!

    Boy those are just weird!

    Brilliantly ribald

  5. But you just never know when one might come in handy!

  6. Mind boggling…bonkers! 🤪😂😂

  7. Poor teddy.
    Now the apple cosy is understandable. Anyone who loves knitting and crochet and belongs to groups of like minded people, will know we are constantly looking for new ideas of things to make, having already kitted out family, friends and pets with every conceivable garment.

    The butter roll-on stick. I kind of like that one. But how does one use it to make cookies? 😂

  9. Sue Cass says:

    I can see why they flopped. Unreal!

  10. Just because you can invent these things doesn’t mean you should.

    I wonder what that avocado thingy does. If it’s something to stop the avocado from getting discolored after you cut it, then I would certainly buy one.

  13. wow and I’d love to see the numbers on sales

  14. I could probably use those underpants for the hands to wear under my mittens, but I’d want a ladies’ style. 🙂

  15. Where do you find this stuff?

  16. SanVercell says:

    Too funny and useless!

  17. C.A. Post says:

    Mitch, many of these are very valuable! How can you say banana slicers, butter applicators, chopstick fans, dual toilet seats, eyedrop guides and others are useless⁉️
    Please send me a headwrap tissue dispenser and a hand/head sweater warmer as soon as possible … and send the bill to my brother!😂

  18. A Tandem Toilet??
    That a definite no go!

    Fantastic! You have single-handedly solved all my Christmas gift-giving problems with one blog post! Thanks, Mitch!

  20. That reminds me of the inventions by Gaston La Gaffe, a French comic book character I loved to read as a kid. However, I could maybe use the butter stick.

  21. LaDonna Remy says:

    Oh these are too funny! I kind of like that lay down anywhere pillow. 🙃

  22. The handerwear immediately reminded me of an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, in which the mad scientists introduced their new invention, chinderwear (so we can now be embarrassed about our chins).
    I could actually see a market for the USB Bears.

  23. Thanks for the giggles. Your post reminds me of a Dragon’s Den episode where someone tried to get investment for a ‘tea-bag bin’ with no success. 🤓

  24. Some days I would really like to hide in one of those cozy laptop viewers

  25. I can see a few of these might be useful. The pillow hat, the seat and picnic pants..maybe even the CD shoes but how would the cd not break with the pressure?

  26. This was such a well-crafted post! I love how you detailed. It’s amazing how much there is to discover. Thanks for sharing!

  27. As always, thanks for the laughs, Mitch!

  28. Underpants for your hands; a creative (?) way to administer eyedrops; a tennis shoe CD player (inc. speakers!). Three of my favorites. 😂😂😂
