Handerpants? HANDERPANTS?!
Yes, today has been a day of learning about “exciting” new products. I regularly advocate on this blog that people don’t use their payday loans in Nebraska for trivial expenses, and I am dedicating this blog post to pointing out things that no one needs, ever.
Why am I writing about handerpants, the magical underwear for your hands, and other things that you should not waste your money on? Well, because I think it’s funny. I can’t even believe that handerpants are real.
Watch the handerpants video
Of course, handerpants aren’t meant to be the next life-changing product. They are made by a novelty company, Archie McPhee & Co, which also sells candy floss, flavored mints and bacon soap. UTalk writes:
This infomercial is almost too good to be true. The ad lists all hands from all walks of life that will actually get use of out this new fashion accessory such as architects, night bloggers, old people, gastroenterologists, construction workers, chefs, Twitterers, Ninja’s with delicate hands and magicians!
Don’t worry, I won’t leave you hanging. You can watch the Handerpants commercial right here:
The punch line, for me, is that these things cost $12, and people actually do buy them.
A Snuggie for your puppy
I have always found the Snuggie commercials entertaining, and the idea of a blanket with sleeves. Of course, deep down I secretly want one. Oops, I guess it’s not so secretly anymore.
But now Snuggie has come up with a product that is even closer to the top of the list of items you don’t really need. It’s Snuggie for Dogs! Yep, you can check out the commercial, which advocates that you wrap your little fur ball in a blanket with sleeves. It’s not really different than an oversized dog sweater, and it can be yours for just $14.95! And it comes with a dog tag that lets you record a message on it!
Do you suffer from a tired tongue?
I always thought those rotating lollipops were silly. You know, the ones where you can switch it on and it turns the candy for you, for easier licking? But I suppose that product has survived because it’s fun for kids. But take this idea an apply it to an ice cream cone.
Yep, the motorized ice cream cone is out there!
Japanese Face Slimmer
I don’t even know where to start with this one, so I will let Pallab explain:
If you thought the sauna belt was bad (and it is bad, mind you..melting the fat – literally is just not possible), then wait till you have seen what the Japanese have come up with. The face slimmer is a hideous mask that claims to slim down your face using contact pressure and sauna! So. finally we have a product that’s capable of burning your skin and crushing your bones together.
Of course, I had to supply a picture of this one.
Britney gets knocked on Amazon
I am sure this item will be up for debate, but on one Amazon.com user’s list of “most useless products ever,” the number one spot goes to Britney Spears’ album “Oops … I Did It Again.” I would probably put that new laundry device that combines the detergent and the dryer sheet in one at the top of my list of most useless things. But everyone has their opinions.
So, just to review, do not spend your payday loan on Handerpants, Dog Snuggies, a motorized ice cream cone, Japanese face slimmer or a Britney Spears album.
