    Ferrerro chocolates - all the anticipation of all that packaging; taking the wrapping off the box, opening the box, pulling the little paper cup off, taking off the foil and then .... a hazelnut in Nutella. ???????
    :eek: What if the hokey cokey is what it's all about? :eek:

    In no particular order:

    Fireworks.
    England flags for your car.
    Marriage certificate (for the man)? Obviously of great value to women ;)

    No chance - Ferrerro are the scrummiest chocolates in the world. They might be expensive but isnt that what relations and birthdays are for? (I've been totally suckered by their marketing department I know).

    Most useless products IMHO:

    foil cutters for wine (why???)
    toilet roll covers
    Smoothie Makers - (mine has been used twice in as many years)

    There are plenty more I'm sure

    Pineapple, it's is evil and should be banned, has no use in the universe :D

    I don't like to be a smartar%e (actually I do coz I don't get to do it very often :p ) but pineapple is great for preventing Dehli Belly when you go on holiday if you eat it daily for about 2 weeks before going. Don't ask me how or why but it does!

    Nah nah! :p;) :rotfl:

    The most useless product? :think:

    Do you know what my minds gone blank!

    But I did think of a product that should be heralded up there with the wheel and sliced bread. The shoehorn! Absolute genius! :T

    Tampon HoldersWhy?! Surely it is an inevitability that a lady of a certain age has periods. So why try and disguise it with an ugly piece of plastic that takes up extra room in your bag?

    LegwarmersI have never in my whole life had a time when I have thought "Oooh, my ankles and lower calf is disproportionally cold by comparison to the rest of my leg". If you have cold legs, wear trousers! They don't even look good!They made Leroy from Fame look like a prat, so what hope do the rest of us have?


    Clothes "defluffers" They don't work, and they just sit on your shelves gathering dust - just use some rolled up parcel tape!
