Top 10 Weirdest Items You Can Buy On Amazon

By Leave a Comment

So you’re shopping for someone who has almost all of everything and you’re running short of creative ideas. Well… here are ten absolutely unusual products that you can buy at Amazon. At your own risk, of course!

Weirdest Items You Can Buy On Amazon

1. Wolf Urine

Absolutely pure, without-a-shadow-of-doubt 100% pure wolf pee. You should use this pee to deter unwanted creatures from your home. Its effectiveness has been highly vouched for by one Amazon reviewer who has this to say:

My Uncle Jared had been under the weather since his wife passed away. He was also in a lot of debt and doing drugs. So one day he bought this Wolf Lure, apparently covered his body in it, and went into the forest. We held his funeral last Thursday, but there was nobody to place in a casket so we just remembered him the way he was, and placed flowers by the forest where his mauled clothing and remnants of teeth and flesh lay in eternal slumber. The local news ran a report of him, and we all wish him well with his wife.

Oh, and please do note: This item cannot be shipped to California due to the state regulations on the import of animal pee!

2. Stop Eating Poop!

Here’s an excerpt from the product review:

“Stop Eating Poop contains Glutamic Acid to deter dogs from eating their own stool. Yucca helps control stool and urine odor. Peppermint and parsley help to eliminate bad breath.”

Peppermint and Parsley – absolutely essential for the dog that enjoys an occasional meal of poo! This product naturally isn’t for human consumption!

3. Gay Attraction Body Mist

Here is what the product review says about this unusual item: ‘Man to man was created after years of study to naturally help Gays to attract Gays.’

It’s a whole lot weird at so many levels – let’s just say that we thought that the tighty-whiteys and cosmos were already doing that!

5. Tank

You can own your own battle tank! And just for $19,995! This tank can carry a crew of up to five internally and one externally. It includes head/tail lights and a 400-watt premium PA system!

If you aren’t really sure whether this tank’s the one for you, you can check out this excerpt from one of the reviews on Amazon:

I’ll admit it. Shopping for a personal tank can be a bit daunting. Many times in the past I’ve purchased overpriced, so-called “battle tanks”, then driven them into battle only to be wrecked in ten minutes by the first blow off of some insurgents home-made mortar. But not this baby, no way.

Sounds like a good deal?

10 Unexpected Items Banned from Import

By Leave a Comment

Different countries have different regulations for the products that enter their territories. Most of the bans have security reasons as they refer to bombs, guns or other weapons. Other regulations prohibit various substances or ingredients found in food or drinks. However, there are quite a few cases of truly weird items that are banned from import. Most of you probably know about the delicious Kinder Egg made out of chocolate and milk, which has a surprise toy inside that children can assemble. No, you haven’t heard of it? Well, that’s because it is banned in the U.S. There are many other such unusual products. Here is a list of the top 10 unexpected items banned from import by different countries.

10. Mountain Dew

One of the top 10 unexpected items banned from import is the Mountain Dew drink.

Mountain Dew, a type of sweet soda produced in the U.S., is banned in both Japan and Europe. This is because it is made out of Brominated Vegetable Oil. If consumed, the oil can lead to nerve disorders, lesions of the skin or even memory loss.

9. Musical Cards

Musical cards are banned in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia has prohibited the import of musical cards, as they can prove offensive to different religions. But the country didn’t stop here: it also banned the use of car horns and music in stores or public places, due to the same reasons. We could add these to our list of 10 unexpected items banned from import as well.

8. Chewing Gum

Chewing gum is seen as one of the top 10 unexpected items banned from import in Singapore.

The very popular chewing gum is banned from import in Singapore, and no one there has been allowed to chew gum for about 24 years. If someone does it however, he or she will receive a nasty fine. Despite the ban, doctors can prescribe gum, but only for therapeutic reasons.

7. Puffer Fish

Who would eat a puffer fish?

The consumption of puffer fish is strictly forbidden in the European Union. While very popular in Japan, eating a puffer fish can lead to death by asphyxiation. How is that? While most of us would think of the many spikes on such a type of fish, apparently it also has toxic organs. As they say, there are plenty of other fish in the sea…

6. Haggis

The Scottish Haggis is one of the 10 unexpected items banned from import.

Haggis is a type of food made from the heart, liver and lungs of a sheep, along with seasoning, oatmeal and onions. However, haggis has been banned in the U.S. for about 45 years. The fact that the ban on beef from Scotland has been lifted in the 1990s, it did not affect the prohibition of haggis, because sheep’s lungs are still banned.

5. Borat

As it has offended the culture of come countries, Borat has been banned in several places.

The movie Borat, produced by Sacha Baron Cohen who is also the main actor, is banned in Kazakhstan. Since the movie did feature comedic scenes that might have seemed offensive to some, Arabic and Russian speaking countries have also prohibited the movie. The only one to make an exception is Lebanon.

4. Lightbulbs

Some types of lightbulbs are prohibited in Australia, and thus part of the list of 10 unexpected items banned from import

Incandescent lightbulbs are prohibited in Cuba since 2005 and Australia since 2007. The people who live there prefer to use lightbulbs that save energy, as these are very efficient. It’s not bad to think every now and then of the environment.

3. Second-hand Mattresses

Due to sanitary concerns, secondhand mattresses are also forbidden in some countries.

Due to sanitary reasons, second-hand or used mattresses are banned in Canada. It is well known that bedbugs like to inhabit mattresses. However, old mattresses can be imported by the country if they come with a certificate that demonstrates that the item has been fumigated and cleaned in the place where it came from.

2. Prison-made Goods

Goods made in prisons are also part of the top 10 unexpected items banned from import.

Canada seems to have a lot of regulations for the flow of goods. Anything that is manufactured by prison inmates is forbidden from entering the country, be it clothing, materials or even bicycles.

1. Masks

The mask of the hacker group Anonymous has created a lot of controversy.

Returning to Saudi Arabia, masks are also among the unexpected items banned from import. The law refers to notorious masks such as the Guy Fawkes one which is the symbol of the hacker group Anonymous. However, it also includes the innocent masks used at children’s parties.

The 6 Pointless Products That Prove That People Will Buy Anything

By Leave a Comment

Do you remember the good old days when we only used to buy stuff that we really needed? Back then we only spent money on basic stuff like food, clothes and second hand Led Zeppelin cassettes.

These days you can buy pointless products that add nothing but a touch of extra stupidity to your life.

The Car Exhaust Grill

Pointless Products That Prove That People Will Buy Anything

This is the single most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in my life, and I say that as someone who once willingly sat through a boxed set of Dynasty DVDs. Why let all that nasty, horrible smoke that comes out of your car go to waste when you can cook a healthy burger with it? Eh? What if I wanted lasagna or baked Alaska? Could it handle those bad boys? I very much doubt it. Also, what if you got stuck in traffic for, say, an hour and your burger turned into a piece of charcoal?

The Self Stirring Mug

Pointless Products and the Self Stirring Mug

If you just looked at that picture and thought, “ooh, that would be groovy, man” then can I start by reminding you that the 1970s ended quite some time ago. Apart from that, how busy a life could you possibly lead that would render you physically incapable of stirring your own freaking beverages? God made the Earth in 7 days and even he found a few seconds to dredge up the sugary sludge at the bottom of his celestial cappuccino. If your problem is a lack of strength to move your teaspoon in a circular motion against the negligible friction of a warm liquid then perhaps the exercise will do you good.

The Baby Food Processor

Pointless Products and The Baby Food Processor

I almost bought a baby food processor when our little girl was born. My thought process went something like; got baby, need baby food processor. Hang on though; don’t I already have a full sized food processor at home? Like, yeah I do. Would it handle baby type food in the fast and efficient way it processes adult oriented meals and snacks? Um, so why would I need a pointless product like this as well.

The Vacuum Cleaner Hair Cutting System

Pointless Products and The Vacuum Cleaner Hair Cutting System

Cutting your hair in an effective and safe way isn’t pointless at all. In fact, I would call it one of life’s most essential little jobs. Until baldness start to squeeze the life out of you with its death like grip you will want to avoid your follicles getting in your eyes and completely covering your ears, rendering you both ridiculous looking and oblivious to the sights and sounds around you. Having said all that, using a vacuum cleaner attachment to carry out this maintenance work is just crazy. You do know that they invented these things called scissors?

The Avocado Saver

Pointless Products and The Avocado Saver

My life used to be a mess. You see, I love avocados but I can’t eat a whole one and have no friends to share them with. As you can imagine, this led to my house very quickly being filled with rotting halves of avocados. I would make a small amount of guacamole then add the left over fruit (yes it’s a fruit, don’t call me out on this you or you’ll regret it) to the ever-growing pile.  Thankfully, one day I found the answer. I threw out the god-damned bits I didn’t want.

The Air Conditioned Shoes

Pointless Products and The Air Conditioned Shoes

This is actually the only pointless product I would buy without a salesman having to press the cold steel of a loaded gun to my nether regions. You see, my feet do get over-heated at times and the resulting build-up of smell and moisture could only be released through, hey, air conditioned shoes. Maybe they’re not so pointless after all, although I still have some doubts.

The Video Notebook: A Retro Design

By Leave a Comment

Don’t go sticking this in your VCR (providing you’re perpetually trapped in the ‘80s). Behold the Video Notebook, a 260-page writing pad ingeniously designed to mimic the appearance of a VHS cassette tape, a recording device now considered primitive in the modern age of the Blu-ray. Such a strikingly retro design will allow for diarists and casual scribblers the world over to indulge in sweet nostalgia, of which the makers of this conceptually brilliant product were fully aware: “For most of us, the VHS is just a nostalgic memory, but we thought it was an object worth revisiting, in the form of this very nice Video Notebook.”

A must-have for any self-respecting film fan of a certain age, the Video Notebook comes with a protective sleeve and a sheet of sticky labels for writing on, just like the actual tapes of yesteryear. The manufacturing company has apparently (and unsurprisingly) sold out of the product, although you can find it on Amazon for a measly $29.99. Oh, a little advice: if you do buy the Video Notebook (and who could blame you?), try and make sure you don’t get it mixed up with your VHS copy of “The Notebook” – y’know, if you’re a complete doofus.

The images above were taken by filmmaker BenDavid Grabinski, a proud purchaser of the Video Notebook, and the images below are official marketing stills. [Read more…]

Thank God: The Magic Tray

By Leave a Comment

Clumsy tray-carriers of the world, rejoice! The Magic Tray is here to solve all our tray-carrying problems. No longer will we embarrass ourselves when we lose our balance and spill a glass of red wine onto our grandmothers’ white living room carpet. No longer will we stumble and send that precious china plate hurtling down towards the hard linoleum floor, where it smashes into a million unglueable pieces. And no longer will we lose our new girlfriends by tripping on our untied shoelaces and spilling the entire contents of a plate of freshly cooked lasagna down their newly bought blouse. Lucy? Where are you, Lucy? I said I was sorry!

Actually, The Magic Tray is not really here, it’s currently only a prototype. But it’s a great idea, I think you’ll agree. Designed by Ryan Jongwoo Choi, a watchful observer of tray-carrying calamities, its “magic” comes from a magnet that fills the inside of the tray. This attracts the magnets embedded on the bottoms of a collection of cups, mugs, plates and bowls that would presumably come with the tray. When the tray is lifted, the magnetic attraction is activated, and the dishes are stable even when the tray is tilted. When the tray is set down, the magnetic attraction is broken, and the dishes can easily be lifted off. [Read more…]
