They say “necessity is the mother of all invention”. I am not sure though what led people to create the following products. Not only are they totally useless they are almost always weird and funny and sometimes even dangerous.

6. Sree Yantra : What is Sree Yantra? I would let the product’s website describe it.

Shree Yantra or Shri Yantra is a multi purpose Yantra and used for wealth, fame, authority, prosperity and mental peace. Shri Yantra or Shree Yantra remove all the negative vibrations and add positive cosmic energies into our environment. It is beneficial for almost everybody and must be used by everyone. The yantra pick up particular cosmic ray wave emitted by the planets and other universal objects and transform them into constructive vibrations. These are then transmitted to the surroundings where the Shri Yantra is placed, thus destroying all destructive forces within the vicinity.

5. Automated Ice Cream Cone : Seriously how lazy can someone be? I admit that the present generation is lazy, but lazy enough that they would need an ice-cream cone which revolves by itself?

4. Earthbound Dog Tag : What if you are abducted by aliens and left stranded somewhere else in this mystical galaxy. Will you be able to find your way home?

With the help of Earth bound Dog Tag you will be able to locate and communicate the location of Earth from any location in space.
From the website :

Engraved with several methods of locating Earth in the Galaxy, an alien pilot does not need to understand any human language to use this information. The mathematical location of Earth in relation to several important pulsars is represented by the radial diagram. Earth’s relation to the solar system is shown at the top. Also included is a schematic of Earth itself and it’s major land masses. Two human icons (man and woman) are graphically connected to Earth at points in all three diagrams and are shown with their hands waving as a gesture of goodwill

3. Duster Cat Slippers : I found this at Brandish.Tv’s top five useless inventions list. The product itself is simple enough. A set of dusters that would fit into the cat’s paws and clean up the house while the cat idles around. That sounds innovative and useful, right? Wrong.

From Brandish.Tv :

They idle around your house doing very little except eating. Well, make them earn their grub by getting them to dust when they walk! Obviously you’ll have to ignore the fact that they lick their anus, then inevitable trying and lick their paws, thus spreading cat anus all over your nice new floor boards. Other than that it’s genius.

2. Reserve A Spot In Heaven : I love this product. Because unlike most other products in this list this one doesn’t take itself too seriously.
This product from Edgar Kim and Nathan Davis, claims to reserve a spot for you in heaven, because apparently heaven is running out of space. If you don’t want a future of endless suffering all you have to do is shell out $12.79 for the essential travel kit or $15.95 for the all access travel kit. Quote from the site

It is recommended that you frame your documents. Let people know you’re going up!

Heaven doesn’t suite you? Dont worry, thanks to these guys you can also book your spot in hell at the same rates. And like all good products this one also has a money back guarantee!

1. Japanese Face Slimmer : 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 thats capable of burning your skin and crushing your bones together.

(Bonus) Back Scratcher’s T-Shirt : This is not a real product but just a concept from the Chindogu society.

From the website :

The friend (or partner) who offers to scratch your back is a friend (or partner) indeed. Except it all goes horribly wrong when they just can’t seem to locate the maddening itch. For those who are fed up of saying, ‘left a bit… up a bit… right a bit… damn!’ comes a very special T-shirt, complete with Battleships style, itch-locater grid. The scratchee is also equipped with a hand-held miniature corresponding grid-map, for accurate communication. So when the scratcher says, ‘I’m scratching F5, ‘ the scratchee can say, ‘try G7′.
