Human beings have always had a knack for creating things that no-one really asked for but someone, somewhere would buy nonetheless. Think Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS bra with fake pierced nips, “Dumpkin”-scented dude wipes, or Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop candle called “Smells Like My Vag***.”
It seems that for every ground-breaking piece of technology, there’s another weird and unnecessary invention just waiting in the wings to come to life. They’re a perfect blend of mankind’s creativity, questionable problem-solving and sheer comical absurdity. But who wants a planet filled with only boring, practical things when you could be shopping for fidget toys shaped like intestines, or eating Labubu-themed chocolate ice-cream that costs $75 a pop?
There’s actually an entire online community dedicated to sharing pics of products that prove people will buy just about anything. The page is a wall of hilarious, weirdly useful and sometimes cringe-worthy gadgets and products that made people go, “Of course that’s a thing!”
Bored Panda has put together a list of the most baffling and funny items posted on the page. We also unpack why people love to buy things they don’t really need. You’ll find that info between the images.
