Has anyone found anything equally/more pointless, unnecessary and tacky?

Re: Worst Xmas product







Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Re: Worst Xmas product
Tacky is not a good attribute in a toilet tissue!!
Has anyone seen the plot, I seem to have lost mine?

Re: Worst Xmas product
Well, a few weeks ago we bought "Andrex" toilet tissue it was only £1 for 4 rolls, and a real treat, in comparrison to the value brands, but it was printed with Hallowean Motifs.
All good when it's dry, but those orange and brown prints when stay in the pan (kids allergy to flush handles, bless) on first inspection give the distinct impression that one of the loves has had a hammorage! It's rather scary, not in a good way!

No I won't use a smiley because I've decided to turn into Boboff, as he's turned all nice all of a sudden. Grumble grumble.

Re: Worst Xmas product
Not quite as pointless as scented toilet paper, but certainly you'd have to wonder how many times it would be used if you gave one as a christmas gift is this run away alarm clock

Reminds me of one of my college projects. We had to design an alarm clock so I designed one in the shape of a coffee cup, complete with a spoon which jingled inside the cup when the alarm rang. To switch the alarm off, simply remove the spoon. The whole thing was complemented with a quick squirt of coffee scented spray.

Re: Worst Xmas product
Actually, I could see the value in a runaway alarm clock, I'm one of those people who can get up, cross the room, switch the alarm off, and get back in bed, all without ever waking up. This has been witnessed.

Re: Worst Xmas product
A friend of mine reputedly had a 12 inch firebell attached to a timeswitch on the other side of his bedroom. Not only did it wake him up, but half the street as well.
Has anyone seen the plot, I seem to have lost mine?

Re: Worst Xmas product
I used to think the crappy battery operaed fairy lights sold in the pound shop and wilkinson's were pointless... until I found uses for them.
first use. making my bike not only festive, but also more visible for the school run, after school own trips and dashing to the chipshop on a cold winter evening.
appologies for the photo state, the flash couneracted the light shining, but without the flash my camera sort of panics.

and for lighting up my brussels stalks

(james thinks I'm mad, but I've had a few comments of "well what's more festive than sprouts?!")

Re: Worst Xmas product
At least the toilet paper has a use... It's those stupid dancing things that really wind me up. Example: Singing and Dancing Christmas Chipmunk.
