Wonderful world from kaku: 30 Stupidest Inventions Ever

1. Wondrous Bra

You might call it the wondrous bra. Japanese urban farmers who wear the gimmicky new undergarment can grow their own rice in recyclable plastic pots that double as the cups, according to Reuters. The pots can be filled with soil and rice seedlings, and the wearer waters the rice with a hose that doubles as a belt that loops around the waist.

Why are people naturally attracted to anything that seems stupid? Well, I think this is because people love to laugh. In fact, laughing is an extremely powerful form of self healing. We are all instantly attracted to anything we find funny. In this post we have a collection of some really stupid inventions ever created and most interesting fact about these is that all these inventions are created by actual people.

2. Bar Sound Bubble

What a bubbleheaded idea. A college student in Scotland came up with a solution for chatty pub patrons who can’t hear their friends – the sound bubble. It’s a clear plastic helmet that covers everything but the ears and mouth from the neck up and eliminates background noise.

3. White Castle candle

Sure, White Castle smells fine when you’re starving and in need of a burger, but would you really want your entire house to smell like it? The company sure hopes so, as they’ve just released a $10 White Castle candle, which smells like one of the its “slyder” burgers. “White Castle has teamed up with Laura Slatkin, often called the “queen” of home fragrances, to introduce a candle with the steam-grilled-on-a-bed-of-onions scent of America’s first fast-food hamburger.

4. Better Marriage Blanket (keeps that flatulence odor away!)

It sounds like a gag gift, but the Better Marriage Blanket is meant to keep you from gagging – if you’re on the receiving end of the silent-but-deadly problem it’s designed to combat – your bedmate’s flatulence. Here’s the problem though: just because you can’t smell the gas, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Wouldn’t you rather just give your lover some Gas-X?

5. Baby Beer Bottle

It’s a beer bottle? It’s a baby bottle? No wait, it’s both – and Anheuser-Busch is not happy about it.

Baby Beer Bottles sold “Bunwiper” and “Little Tike” baby bottles (which look like a beer bottle) for $19.99 for a gift-wrapped set.

6. Handerpants Fingerless Gloves

If any of you want to be reminded of your butt when looking at your hands, the “Handerpants Fingerless Gloves” are the invention for you. “Try on a pair of handerpants for a cheeky way to keep warm, or wear them under a pair of gloves for an extra layer. You will definitely make a statement! Made with a soft cotton-spandex blend, just like those tightie-whities of yours,” FredFlare.com reports.

Depending on your mood, this little gem of an invention could belong on the stupidest – or the most brilliant – inventions list. This is a wine glass made that holds an entire BOTTLE of wine.

8. Potty Putter

9. Cat Duster Slippers

Feel like your cat is, well, lying around and not doing enough around the house?

14. Marshmallow Shooter

We get the appeal of water guns and paintballs, but why does one need to launch perfectly good – and edible – marshmallows? “This clever pump-action device shoots sweet, edible miniature marshmallows over 30 feet, and, unlike other marshmallow blasters, it comes with an LED sight that projects a safe beam of red light to help locate a target for accuracy,” according to Hammacher.com. Um, this means that there are other marshmallow launching competitors out there.

15. Curved Barrel Machine Gun

18. Umbrella Rain Tube

20. Peter Petrie Egg Separato

OK, maybe it separates eggs well, but we’re a little grossed out by the fact the egg whites come running out of its nose. “Peter Petrie makes separating eggs easy. Crack the egg gently into the top. His big nose blocks the yolk, but allows the whites to flow easily into your bowl.

21. Wire Baby Cage

Want your baby to go outside but don’t have a patio or garden and don’t want to be bothered to actually carry your child downstairs?

And while we’re on the subject of slightly horrifying inventions for children, check out the baby holder. “Jack Milford, player with the Wembley Monarchs ice hockey team, has invented a carrying device so that his baby can join his wife and himself on the ice.
