Tis the season for shopping and crappy products on store shelves. Here are two products that were recently found while out and about shopping for the holiday season.
First is the “Stay Straight” Doo-Hicky
What is this thing? Is it a hair appliance or maybe a homophobic person’s dream device? From looking at the packaging, there is no indication whatsoever about what in the hell this thing is for or even how it works. The information gleaned from the package is that it is a kitchen product. That is it. It was selling for $1.00 and I was thinking about buying it just to have if I needed to keep things straight.
Second up is the “Peg Legged Kitty” Ornament
This poor item was found tucked away in the holiday section at my local TJ Maxx store. I see the concept but it is a horrible execution. Did anyone step back and look at this poor thing before they sent it in to production? And what blind retail buyer decided to pick this product up?! Honestly people, are you serious?! I don’t know what is worse, the fact that the cat is crippled or the fact that the cat looks like it knows and is sad and confused about it. I almost bought it out of pity because who is honestly going to buy a crippled kitty to hang on their Christmas tree?
Thank you to my lovely Lisa for pointing these things out in the store, making me take the pictures, and suggesting that I post them on my blog.
