Purposeless Products

Nothing so cunning 007. They re billed as 'discrete' metal detecting sandals for when you are on beach holidays! What a laugh! Spend £50 on a pair of crap sandals to find a few low value coins in the sand. Now who do you think they would appeal to? Sorry, struggling to type for laughing here!!

I admit to not anticipating that, teejay. I'm struggling to understand that a black half house brick sized lump of electronics strapped to anyone's leg could even loosely be described as discrete!
As you say, hilarious.

At the market earlier this week a guy was demonstrating a hand held contraption for peeling and cutting vegetables into weird shapes. Carrots shaved to look like orange spaghetti, potatoes made into tiny little cubes. cucumbers converted to what he called spirals.
I watched people buy his junk. Do these people really need this product and , if so, what will they do with the strangely shaped vegetables it produces? What's wrong with a kitchen knife for preparing veg?
Is this a Purposeless Product?

This has got to be one of the most purposeless products ever..................

Oi do you realise that most of your friends are Old people.
 
My friend, who dog has 6 year old dog has been poorly, has bought and I kid you not, a plug in scent that is supposed to give a smell of a mother dog to help calm his dog. I can't wait to have a sniff.

That's a really odd one. Is it actually marketed as a lump doing absolutely nothing? Not a fancy rock-like case for something we all need?

Please hunt down some more for us all to marvel at.

Most definitely wrong there, Lee. Friendship is a two way phenomenon.

I'm not sure you should get close enough for a sniff, Joe! That's almost certainly a Purposeless Product. Unless someone knows otherwise.

It strikes me that kitchen utensils are a prime source for Purposeless Products. I was in a shop today and saw:-

1. A tool intended to open on then eat a kiwi fruit. A strange combination of a knife and a spoon. In green plastic! A conventional knife and spoon does it for me. Cut off the top, scoop out the flesh. Or peel and enjoy.

2. A cutter for removing the end of a boiled egg prior to eating with a spoon and/or 'soldiers'. So what's wrong with tapping the egg with a spoon prior to peeling and eating as above? Or slicing the end of the egg off with one decisive swipe of a knife?

Is anyone brave enough to look through their kitchen cupboards and shelves and then enlightening us with your Purposeless Kitchen Products?

A knife and spoon to eat a kiwifruit!!,have you not got any teeth!
I'm guessing you're one of those types that throw away the best part of the fruit!
 
I think the most useless thing I have in the cutlery drawer is a melon baller,:Watermelon_Emoji: oh and a big plastic spoon shaped spoon rest.

I eat most of any fruit except the skin of kiwi (it's hairy!), the skin of citrus fruits unless it's the zest, the skin of bananas (astringent!) and I eat apples in their entirety etc. etc.
So I don't waste much. Now - do you eat kiwi fruit skin? If so do you regard it as "the best part of the fruit"?. Be honest now, Asterix!

Thanks yorklass! I'd forgotten about melon ballers. If I want melon in roughly that shape I use a spoon in a similar manner to the Purposless Melon Baller. And a spoon rest in any material is Purposeless. What's wrong with a saucer?

Anyone got a garlic press? Admit it!

Butter curler? Come on!

Don't try kiwi skin! I have and it's really not a pleasant experience, yorklass!
