What do you think are some of the stupidest inventions (items) far as everyday stuff that the average Joe might own or have access to?
I'm thinking the electric can opener and that fake bird they're selling on TV. I think it's called the Perfect Polly.

Well here is a stupid invention. Its called a banana slicer. A banana slicer is in the shape of a banana. You pull out the banana removing skin. You set it on flat surface and put the slicer over it. Walla you have banana slices. However many have argued that considering how soft a banana is that basically anything else would work to easily cut a banana. So most believe this device is pretty useless.
Seems like it would take so long to use it and then wash it afterwards too. I agree it sounds incredibly stupid. I'm not seeing what the advantage of it is!
Banana protector case. It's usually something a parent buys for their kid.
Seriously would you buy your kid something that looks like that. They're even available in 'pink' for goodness sake.
Gawd, what's up with all of the hate against banana related inventions here?
Too much to list. Snuggie, that fork with a spanner (James may showed in TG) and pet rocks (to name a few.)
But since I am a car guy, I will tell you some useless car inventions.
The motorized seatbelt that is present in some american cars. Why?! Can't you reach out for the seatbelt yourself?
Cup holders. I am european and the only use they have in my car is collecting dust and me cleaning them! A car is not a bar, or a coffee shop! Besides, all the on-the-go stuff is terrible!
Car bras. They actually cause damage. They flop about and can cause scratches. And they protect a part of the paint only! Know what I mean? Ask your girlfriend to take off her bra at the beach and see if her boobs got a tan... They don't!
Fart cans - self explanatory!
Parking sensors/ rear cameras on small cars. If you need help to park a 2m car, you shouldn't be allowed to drive!!!
Those white things in package boxes. Just use bubble wrap for heavens sake! It does the same job, plus it's fun to pop da bubbles!
Pet rocks. Yes, you can actually buy them.
Also, the lucky break wishbone.
The b'owl and the d'ump, and the innernette all from Cinco family products
There is a tool sold to open things packaged in that molded plastic that is sold in the molded plastic packaging. That's pretty stupid.
