Most useless product

  • As a kid in the run-up to Christmas, I remember feeling sorry for all the men who'd rip their present open with excitement, only to find it contained a Victor Kyam Nasal Hair Trimmer. I bet they could've done with someone bunging them a couple of boxes of Ferrero instead.

    'M'sieur, wiz zeze Nasal Hair Trimmers you are spoiling us...' :)
    Eek! Someone's stolen my signature! :eek:

    In defererence to you lot:

    [STRIKE]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. ???????[/STRIKE]

    However, I still think you're all WRONG!
    :eek: What if the hokey cokey is what it's all about? :eek:

    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??

    Actually I use them cos otherwise they roll around loose in my bag and then the wrapping splits and you end up with mice running free in your bag:rotfl:

    My most useless item has to be those disposable toilet cleaners!! WHY???? What is wrong with shoving down a toilet brush and swishing it around a few times??? Then clean it in the bleachy water as you flush - Is it soooo hard that you must use a disposable one, just in case your children decide to suck the non-disposable one, mistaking it for a lolly???

    Or a lipstick holder?? Huh?? They already come in a holder??

    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

    Maybe but I think the most useless thing I've heard of anyone buying was some car mats when they didnt have a car :rotfl:

    To add to the list:

    anything that comes 'free' with a magazine - never had anything decent yet
    any bath products you get for xmas (which you will only ever use one of)
    ready made gravy from the supermarket - as if you can't boil up an oxo and some water
    :D
