most useless product ever?

What has the world come too? I mean, we live in a society where innovation is good but sometimes a product just comes out and makes you think the manufacturer have utter contempt for people's intelligence.

i think those steps for dogs is pretty useles also
the baby stroller for dogs i saw for sale at the pet store once is another item on the useless list, yet i have seen 2 idiots with one!
ice cream scoopers are dumb also, not talking the things that makes the pretty ball, the nothing more than a sppon type that costs a few dollars.
bananna hangers.
and some thing that is on a stand that we got as a gift, you put water in it, plug it in and makes some fog effect with colors, real uselss and it now sits as a stand for a plant.

I have been thinking of marketing dehydrated water ..... just mix the contents of the envelope (which may appear to the untrained eye to be empty) with a gallon of water and Presto!, you have a gallon of water. There are people out there that might buy it.

I believe someone once said; "Theres a sucker born every minute"
Now bf250, I do have a set of home made steps for our aging Daschund to get upon the top of the bed. He has been with us for years and is very much a part of the family. Its what i could do for his years of service to us. (plus if he was not able to get in the bed, I would not be able to run him out from under the covers at night to get air.

Like westtntrucker said! "Theres a sucker born every minute" It fits in with "A fool and their money are soon parted"
Look at all the things Ronco used to sell. pure junk
Best example the pet rock. The guy became a millionaire because of moronic suckers. It's a painted rock for heavens sake. If they want to part with their cash so fast. I could sell them some land on the moon. It's got a great picturesk view. it's even located in a crime free neighborhood.

am I the only one who is this lazy?
Sometimes, even the simplest thing, I can't stick to it and do it everyday. For example, taking multivitamins. I can't seem to take it more than week before I either forget or become to lazy to take it.
It just seems unless you have a habit of doing something, like brushing your teeth or taking showers, it's hard to do something daily unless there is an immediate gain/gratification.
Is this so?

Is selling real estate on the moon any more crazy than paying $40 to name a star after someone? It's even registered in the "official register".

Can you imagine the thrill of receiving a piece of paper from someone indicating that a star has just "officially" been named after you.

Not all dogs are created equal, not all sofas and beds are either. Then there's the age and the health of the animal to consider. The American Kennel Club recommends the steps for all dog owners. Animal care is very expensive today. A slipped disc or worse can cost 1000's of $$$ by the time the animal has healed. The health and well being of the owner is also to be taken into consideration.
Let's say you have a bed that's 3 feet off the floor (like ours). Lets say your "Over" wants to get on the bed (like ours). The dog is too short (3-Over fed, Over pampered, Basset Hounds), and because he can't get up there, he sits besides you on the floor and howls, barks, whines and moans till you lift it up. Then to prevent the animal from being injured, the same person (me) has to lift it off the bed. All that lifting can be harmful to the dog owner (who suffers from arthritis and spinal stenosis).
